While i agree with you up to a point, posts like yours minimize the harm that the current administration is doing. The system was bad and unfair under Biden and his predecessors, but people still had access to trials and lawyers. Police did not hide behind masks. If the government detained you in the United States, they had to acknowledge it. You didn’t just disappear, kidnapped by ice and moved to a black site outside of the country. (It was another story with afghanistan etc.) You can deplore the system that existed before Trump and still acknowledge that Trump is much, much worse.
We can acknowledge the reality of how bad things were before without minimizing how bad they are now. Far too many people are still clinging to the idea that once Trump leaves office we can just go back to “normal” and everything will be ok.
You are dead right on that point. That is the true failure of almost every democrat in the US: they all want to go back to a shitty status quo. Let’s get rid of Trump AND usher in something better.
