This is back to the argument that nothing SO bad happened on his watch, which is backwards to me. We're lucky nothing SO bad happened. He was held back from extremism by the constraints of our government -- this is your defense of him? But you're missing my point to RJF. There are reasons people voted for Trump, reasons I can respect. My brother, who describes himself as right-of-center voted for Trump in 2020 b/c he thought the liberals had gone nuts and that Biden wouldn't be able to withstand a party deep into critical race theory and promoting maximum spending. I don't agree with my brother, but I can understand his reasoning. But just "stick it to the liberals" is not a reason I can respect.
If government policy actually has little impact on the day to day lives of ordinary citizens then what is the motive behind voting? Cultural issues, and that is precisely the situation we find ourselves in today. You may not like it but survey after survey has found that what really motivates political partisans is their dislike for the other side.
