    Now, be honest.

    Think of all the benefits, less hatred, even misinformation on twitter and soc. media has died down substantially, things becoming more normal, like the old days, before Trump, when we just argued, instead of feeling like getting into super heated arguments and shouting matches. Maybe your overbearing uncle coming over for Thanksgiving won't be pounding the table as much.

    Next time, elect someone who is rational, acts like a president should ( doesn't say stupid things, and doesn't troll the opposition all the time ). Find another Ford, Kasich, etc., someone boring, but NOT another Trump.

    Boring is better, don'tcha think?

    Reality TV should be, well, relegated to reality TV, and not actual reality.

    There might be as many as 40% of the Republican party who supports every stupid thing that Trump did. Honestly, that speculation on my part, but it may sadly be true.

    If you can't have a peaceful Thanksgiving because of political beliefs, you have only yourself to blame. Im not sure that the flow of stupid statements will slow under Biden. Now if only Dems will stop emulating Trump.

    The difficulty is that the Republicans come in two significantly different stripes. One set, mostly politicos, is very happy to see Trump go because they were part of the swamp that Trump promised to and worked to drain. Now they can more comfortably get back into the good graces of the Establishment Fraternity and back to their cushy lives and off-site congeniality with like-minded Democrats. They never wanted Trump in the first place. The other set is very unhappy with Trump's demise because they think they have lost the hoped for return to solid government of, for, and by the people of America.

    That’s what u lefties want to believe as you know trumpism is the biggest threat to the left. You would love for the rhinos to make a comeback as you know they have no chance against democrats.

    you are so terrified of trumpism crushing you that you spent 4 years doing nothing but dividing and creating chaos - sham investigations, race baiting and identity politics, impeaching for harmless phone calls. The strategy was - ‘oh my lord, this president stands for popular policies (lower taxes, secure borders, fix trade deals, get tough on china, no wars, peace through strength, fight corrupt media and institutions, help blue collar workers, fight bureaucracy and waste , strong military, stand by police..etc.. ) and he’s getting things done!!!.. we must distract from it all, let’s create chaos!’


    You should be ashamed of yourselves

    Pretty much true. One of his campaign promises that didn't get a lot of traction. He got off to bad start thinking he should make nice and get along with swamp creatures and some opposition Democrats. Big mistake!

    You think THIS is "solid government"? Holy crap, dude. You really do live in an alternate reality.

    If it means a respite from " orange man bad, orange man Nazi, orange man Satan, orange man Antichrist, orange man traitor, orange man stupid, orange man grifter, orange man source of all misery in life, orange man..." 24/7 on these forums, yeah guess I will be. Although I imagine some will be lost without the orange bogeyman to tilt at daily.

    Personally, I'm very much looking forward to a bland dude in the White House. Trump was a Drama Queen, and with
    Drama Queens you get DRAMA.

    Trump did the opposite of many things he said he would do. I'll forgive you for being confused and confusing.

    The mind controlled, brainwashed zombies are victims of wolves in sheep’s clothing. Terrible policies, lies, but they are ‘nice’

    When did that happen. Looks like they're just ramping up.

    It was never about Trump. It's always been about millions of conservative and libertarian Americans who don't agree with progressive policies, all wrapped up in one orange target.

    Now big government is about to put the boot down on peoples' necks.

    We were right to be afraid of Trump.

    He made up a story of electoral fraud that was disproved by all the jurists in the United States, in addition to those in charge of his own administration.

    Thousands of them started a riot on Capitol Hill to kill Mike Pence and Nancy Pelosi.

    The fact remains that millions of his supporters, completely fanatical and impervious to facts, still wrongly believe that Biden wasn't elected fair and square.

    Never in the history of this country have we come so close to an authoritarian regime.

    This is what our children and grandchildren will remember.

    1. There is now more hatred, more misinformation on twitter and social media. Democrats were the ones to get into superheated arguments and refuse to debate. Liberals are emotional creatures of habit while conservatives are more logic and reason based.
    2. Trump is quite rational. Instead of playing the game of politics "I'll rub your back if you rub mine" he took a business axe to the problems and solved them logically. Lowered regulations that brought back manufacturing (Biden will destroy), Lowered taxes to middle class (Biden will destroy), Increased oil production making us oil independent of OPEC and others (Biden will destroy on day one), Strengthened our supremacy in the world so that Muslim nations enemies of Israel now are working with Israel (Biden will destroy), Went face to face with Un in NK to stop the nuclear threats to the U.S. and allies (Biden will destroy), NATO pays their share of NATO now (Biden will destroy), Rebuilt the Military (Biden will destroy), Started no wars (Biden will start wars), Destroyed ISIS (Biden will rebuild), Got fair trade agreements around the world (Biden will destroy), Stood up to China (Biden took bribes from China),
    3. Trump communicated with the people often. Trump communicated with the Media and answered their questions no matter how hate-filled they were. Biden won't be able to speak to the media. He babbles and has to have his wife or notes to answer pre-given questions. Biden lies, plagiarizes, tells his adversaries he's going to beat them up, yells at people nasty things. He says stupid things all the time as does Harris as does Pelosi as does Schumer.

    Of course not. The country was headed in the right direction. Looks like that will change.
