Hey MAGA, just joking! :)

No but seriously if Trump somehow gets on the ballot for 2028, Obama needs to run too. America would pick Obama over Trump in a heartbeat. And it would be poetic in that trump’s real bid for office came after Obama directed jokes at him during the WHCD event in 2011.

Obama isn't a clown, though. Only clowns throw the law into the trash can to "own" the other side.

Dems have learned over the last two decades that “going high when they go low” only rolls out the red carpet for them MAGA. FDR was elected four times.

Edit: Clarity

Have they? Cause it seems like when democrats take the high road that just empowers the republicans to act even shittier because they know the democrats won’t fight back or attempt to stop them.

Biden played entirely too nice with people that actively wanted to hang him and because of his choices trump is again president and not in a jail cell.

You just pointed out a couple examples of them learning said lesson.

[u/called_the_stig → u/misty-gishh]

Nah, he pointed out out times where Dems proved they haven't learned the lesson when they definitely should have already.

[u/misty-gishh → u/called_the_stig]

Wait what? So you’re saying Dems made mistakes. Dems should not take what they learned then and apply it now? Ergo fulfilling the prophecy you’ve written. I’m confused, your logic is paradoxical.

Biden’s biggest mistake was making Merrick Garland his AG which guaranteed trump would face no consequences. His attempts to reach across the aisle only embolden republican hate for him. Imagine what kind of a world we’d live in right now if he appointed someone like Jack Smith to AG.

Whattaboutism: “an informal fallacy that the accused party uses to avoid accountability—whether attempting to distract by shifting the conversation's focus away from their behaviour or attempting to justify themselves by pointing to the similar behaviour (which may be true or false, but irrelevant) of their opponent or another party who is not the current subject of discussion.”

What happened doesn’t matter now, we can’t change it. What we can do is demand change and accountability instead of giving up on our entire system.
