    He made it into one. He gutted so many institutions during his presidency and handled Covid so badly we’ll still be recovering for years.

      handled Covid so badly

      This isn’t wrong, but is just such an understatement. He did pretty much the opposite of what he should’ve in every way. He handled it poorly on purpose in an attempt to hurt Democrats, and politicized it at every point to try and rile up his base. He turned what should’ve been a unifying crisis in this country into a chasm wide political divide we won’t be healing from any time soon. The only thing he arguably did right was to push getting vaccines out as soon as possible, which he obviously only did for his own ego.

      He certainly made it worse but let’s stop pretending this country wasn’t completely fucked before he showed up.

      This country has been ran by thugs for at least a century. We are just seeing the latest version of the shit storm, which only gets worse over time.
