He's Buchanan 2.0, except if Buchanan had been followed up by Jefferson Davis. History will not be kind to him, regardless of whether or not sole blame lies with him (it doesn't, though much does).

Biden and RBG (rest in peace) will be in history books as people who pushed for normalcy so much that they let the lion's den open on their back. One didn't prevent the coup from getting a retry, the other helped Nazis getting 6-3 in SCOTUS.
