have to note that this position would be insane from a left perspective *even if it were true that Trump was a normal Republican.* A normal Republican president is far, far worse than an infirm Democratic president.

Speaking as what used to be considered a “normal Republican”, the most normal-Republican thing Trump did was appoint a bunch of FedSoc judges and justices. By and large I’m happy with them, but not many folks to my left are.

It’s also weird to be like “Trump really isn’t that dangerous, look at his first term” but then NOT look at Biden’s first term.

even standard Repubs, as shitty as they are/were, didn’t get impeached twice in one term, you really gotta go above and beyond to reach that level of shittiness

I genuinely feel gaslit by that genre of tweet (DB), as it makes me wonder if I simply hallucinated that travel ban executive order in January 2017, and the way it initially could have retroactively invalidated the immigration status of people who already had visas/green cards

A “normal” Republican president gave Dick Cheney power. A “normal” Republican president hired and listened to John Yoo.

And the more of a leftist you are, the MORE you should hate (and fear) a normal republican!

Bessner is paid by the Koch Brothers, and it would make sense from their perspective....if true.

I keep coming back to Norquist’s line - all we need is enough fingers to sign legislation. That’s how they treated Reagan in his second term.

I would personally rather have a guy that appoints a mostly effective cabinet and goes to bed after Jeopardy than a guy that's going out of his way to do the worst things possible. Like, obviously Biden sucks, but it's mostly the same kind of suck that the USA has always sucked.
