We can talk policy about Trump in 2016 and even 2020, but Trump 2024 is basically the "Trump should be able to do whatever he wants" party. As Americans we are only given 2 choices, and we aren't even doing those 2 choices right. Sucks to suck.
Agreed. My problem is the way in which the American people seem to be so accepting of this decline of democratic principles. I'm a firm believer of the phrase "love the sinner, hate the sin." I don't dislike anyone, really. Okay, maybe a few people that I cannot let go of a grudge against from a long time ago. Regardless, my issues are with the the actions, with the willingness that our citizenry will forego the foundations of our nation. Sincerely, I despair for the path our country is headed down.
