    My favorite part about modern republicans is that they made me look back fondly on former republican leaders who I used to despise. “Ahhhhh… binders of women. Those were the days.”

      “Wow, this guy is an unempathetic robot who only vaguely understands human interactions! He’s almost a real person!” - Me now

      The bar has been lowered so much

      I remember Bush’s monthly drops of ridiculous quotes or other idiocy. He was embarrassingly bad at times but you could still laugh.

      Then we get Trump where that’s literally the default behavior on his best day and it’s all too depressing and destructive to laugh at

        Bush was far more destructive than trump. Losing roe v wade sucks but it’s small potatoes compared to losing big portions of the 4th and 5th amendments to the patriot act. Not to mention the tens of thousands he killed in Iraq and afghanistan

        “Fool me once, shame on… shame on you. Fool me twice? Can’t get fooled again.”
