        COVID was when the problems with Donald Trump came for the MAGA crowd. The problem with the MAGA crowd is they are fundamentally selfish. They lack the empathy to understand that problems that don’t impact them directly are real

          I didn’t notice covid shifting the needle for 99% of Republicans, even as their relatives died. Even personally being impacted barely registers for a small number of them.

        For most people, it was becoming increasingly obvious he was a terrible person. But I think a lot of it was really shoved in our faces during the pandemic.

      and all he cared about was getting re-elected

      The irony here is that all he had to do was listen to the doctors, tell people to wear a mask, and get vaccinated. He would’ve been reelected easily. He probably killed enough of his own voters to cost him the election.

        It’s true, before the pandemic I was absolutely sure he was getting reelected. All people care about a lot of times is whether the economy is doing well, and even if not deserved, the president gets credit or scorn for the state of it during their tenure.

      My progressive father got radicalized as old age caused him to spend more time indoors watching television. He went from anti-orange to team-orange. It made me very sad.

      Orange-shitbag’s mishandling of the pan brought him back. He was anti-orange again. I’m so glad he got redemption before he died.
