No, Trump didn’t ruin us. We ruined ourselves through decades of missteps, eg. Citizens United. Trump is just the opportunistic frosting on the autocracy cake of our own making.
@rbreich Given that we honestly have no clue whether Project 2025 is a go or not (and everyone involved hasn’t been arrested or kicked out of their seat, or impeached) I would say Yes. We are ruined.
We simply should not be seeing the political landscape he have right now, if ANY had a shred of ethics or even common sense.
The Great Experiment died in 2020 when priority was more important to us than remembering that any elected official is a citizen first, and not above the law.
