    Yeah. It’s the type of statement where everybody on the left is mad at trump. And I get it. I totally get the anger.

    But trump isn’t THE problem. He’s A problem.

    Lets say, 2028 comes. And lets say somehow some way trump complies with the law. Two term limit. He’s gone.

    The problem isn’t gone. Whoever replaces him on the right will be just as bad, if not worse. The problem is, as hard as it is to admit, or even say, the majority of people in this country support this type of behavior.

    They support ice.

    They support trans rights being suppressed.

    They support racism.

    I don’t know if the majority supports confederates, but a large chunk of of them do.

    I genuinely do not know how a bill would play out if they reinstated slavery. Optimism wants to say it fails. But the way things have gone? I can’t say I’m confident.

    And none of that is on trump. Thats all on the american public. Trump didn’t foster these beliefs. Hitler didn’t create antisemitism. They both just stirred the pot and used the chaos to gain and grow their power.

    THE problem isn’t trump. THE problem is America. We’re just seeing an oppertunist use these problems to his/their advantage.

      It’s not most people. Most people are democrats. I’m not sure about trans rights but most people are against ice and the abortion laws.

      That’s why the republicans are always trying to make voting harder. If everyone voted they’d lose.

      THE problem is America.

      I’ve been saying this for years. This is how the people in the US are. They need for life to be suffering.
