  • This question is probably worth revisiting after 2024’s election, since Trump may still have more mileage. A second term might be more dangerous than the first was. Assuming he doesn’t win, then his legacy will mostly be all of the weird and slightly hard to measure changes to American culture, specifically conservative political culture.

    He generally seems to have made more dangerous ideas popular but also to have made getting a governing coalition together to actually enact those ideas more difficult by eroding the Republican party. Bush’s foreign policy decisions seem to have been far more dangerous so I think I’d vote for Bush being the worst as of right now.

    That said, Trump still has a non-zero chance of bringing real American fascism into power so that would change things.









  • Yes, this is about your feelings. If you don’t feel happy and warm inside when you cast your vote, how can you possibly be asked to think about the 13 year old rape victim who now has to travel hundreds of miles to save her own life. While she has that option. People literally banning books but let’s make sure random internet commenter feels nice inside and doesn’t have to make any really hard big boy choices.

    The US is in this mess because fascists don’t waste their time listening to clowns like you. Congratulations on all of the privilege you are apparently swimming in, that you don’t have to worry about them coming for you. Must be nice.
