German liberals literally sided with the Nazis because at least the Nazis would kill the communists (and the Jews) for them. How many times does this have to happen before people will learn?

They don't view it as their party, they view at as their team. They're cheering, jeering spectator and if someone from the bad team decides to join their fan club their welcomed with applause.

we need to return to a simpler political time when lawmakers could reach across the aisle and pass important legislation sending troops to laos and vietnam

Many libs are okay with all of that.

I kind of don't think this, at least not that soon. It's too perfect propaganda for the Democrats. Unlike someone like Bush, who came from a "respectable" political family, Trump is seen as an outsider. I honestly think they'll keep pushing the foreign intervention angle and use Trump as an example of how everyone from outside the current establishment is a Russian/Iranian/Chinese asset. Democrats love running against him so instead of offering anything that will beat the next Republican, they'll just say he or she is "the next Trump." They'll likely continue this long after its effective because they're bad at politics and love to be annoying. I think this will especially be true if Kamala gets elected and completely fucks everything up.

if they do rehab him, it'll be more like Reagan where it didn't start until the 2010s, after he's dead and a big chunk of people who know how bad he is are also dead or old enough that most younger people won't take them seriously.

I could be wrong bc they love rehabbing right wingers but it just feels off right now.

Now way he's not dead by 90

it's a big club, and you ain't in it

what a disgusting joke!

Fetterman? is that you?

I know people were saying it after Obama won in 2008, so it's definitely not new.

I considered posting it to dredge but I think it was popular enough on Reddit to squeak by
