I've never seen anything outside of religion have this kind of effect on folks. I'm interested in how they did it ... to create this fringe group (which probably numbers in the millions, so don't overreact) that absolutely believes the absurd and ridiculous in spite of ... everything.
Anyone who was paying attention in 2016 knew that Trump's appeal smacked of cult-of-personality. I believed that the reality of who the man was would become clear ... in that I mean how bluntly ignorant and uninterested he is in learning anything about his job, or about the world, that he's underhanded, dishonest, abusive, larcenous, etc.
Didn't even make a dent. In fact, the more he showed us exactly who he is, the more folks joined the following.
I had seen this happen historically, and on small scales ... but I had just never seen anything like this in America. Literally none of his failngs are acknowledged even though they've been put on public display for four years.
An entire ALTERNATE REALITY has been created for Trump followers to live in. It's ... astounding.
COINTELLPRO/MK ULTRA/NLP has been perfected though, no doubt about that.

Hard examples are not opinions..lol If Trump even thought about what other recent Presidents actually did he be Impeached a dozen times by now. The left has made the position of the president a mockery, and like always it comes to bite them right back in the ass...Good luck with Biden...

As far as Biden goes, I'll take a corporate centrist any day over a guy who admires dictators and jokes about being President for life.

I have yet seen a person on the left actually give him a single point of credit for anything.

You and others have done the "oh yeah, he's kinda rough around the edges but he's a good guy" schtick.
The rest of your post proves my point: you and I live in different worlds.

How could someone win the Presidency in America basically not campaigning, having few people at a rally, staying in their basement, and running on a platform of Communism? You can't. Unless the government has been compromised and taken over already. It was fixed folks. Stay safe.

Quickly, because the topic is not what you and I think about past Presidents, i don't agree with much of the international adventuring the US has indulged in for the last fifty years or so. Unlike you, I don't see things in simplistic terms of right and left, so certainly, I can see that Obama, Bush, Clinton, Bush ... as far as you wnat to go back are warmongers.
So, going there? No. Not on topic, and not interesting even if it were. As I said, you live in a different world than I do.

Come on VC, look at the handful of people who did show up for Biden's half-assed "rallies". Pick any one of them. The attendees were either half asleep or looking at their watches waiting for it to be over so they could get paid. The drive-in car rallies were even more of a joke.
