Please feel free to generate as many redundant Trump threads as you feel compelled to. do keep in mind that donny is soon to fade into history as a one termer who was essentially a joke.

A dangerous joke who was impeached and lost the popular vote twice.

I just looked up the "other" terrible president in history James Buchanan and did some reading.  Donald J. Trump is about 10% the president he was.  This was a diffident president who tried to quell conflict ineffectively.  Trump tried to instill distrust and divisiveness.

The fact that so many voted for him is damning for the concept of democracy.

Consider someone like Trump as PM with a 39% majority and the power of political life and death over everyone in his caucus. Something for the opponents of electoral reform to chew on.

Yes, that is true for some democracies. Do you know why that happened? Do you know why it happened to Germany's democracy when the Nazis took over? Do you know why it happened to other democracies?

There are variations from one to another but the same basic reason is true for all of them. The country's people were fed up with not getting a piece of the pie. In Germany, there was very little pie to go around and that was for their specifc reason. Do you know why Americans resorted to Trump.

It's no more obvious to Canadians that he was a sick psychopath than it was obvious to Americans.

It has been obvious to this Canadian for some time even before he was elected. And now it is obvious to the majority of Americans.

Thanks for sharing that with us. Was the rest of it too complicated for you or did it rub you the wrong way for your politics?

I made it as simple as I could for you.

Forget Trump. Take note that the Democrats didn't flip the Senate and lost two seats in the House. This election may have been a rejection of Trump but it was nowhere near an endorsement of the Democrats.

You get that right wilbur!
I hope that's because you are finally accepting that the Dem party is still just the establishment corrupt American way.

take solace in the fact 'some percentage' of those Trump votes were party aligned. I'm still waiting for postmortem analysis to suggest how many voted Republican for president in spite of Trump. Equally of interest, how many Republicans voted for Biden, voted for a Democrat for the first time in their voting history... and did it make any difference, particularly in so-called battleground states?

didn't flip the Senate... yet! That the state of Georgia is now blue after this election is clearly an endorsement of... sumthin - yes?
