    I understand they’re both bad people, but Trump did do some good things.

    He got us out of Syria and Afghanistan. He passed more COVID aid than Democrats. (And in fact, Democrats withheld $600 of promised aid after they won the Georgia Senate seats. Remember when those $2000 checks that people were promised were shrunk?) Half the states legalized weed during his first term.

    That aside, it’s wild watching the role reversal here. In less than 20 years Dems have gone from being generally anti-war (despite ignoring Obama’s warmongering) and they’re now the party of the chickenhawks and can’t seem to find a war they don’t support.

      And it was the Rs that lied to the public in order to bomb Iraq and Afghanistan in the first place.

      Israel’s genocidal gov can burn in hell.

      So can Putin’s.

      The states that legalized weed…were states. It’s still a federally listed substance on the same level as heroin. (Were those states R or D?)

      More covid aid that went to corporations.

      Also, withheld aid to states he didn’t like.
      Also, delayed aid.
      Also, he prevented purchase of medical supplies. Also, promoted conspiracy theories.
      His inaction, deception, and disinformation help killed over a million.

      And he sent Putin covid testing supplies.

        I don’t know who you’re arguing with here.

        I already said I agree with OP on Trump and Musk being assholes, but that doesn’t change the fact that some good was done in his first term. It’s a matter of historical fact, not opinion.
