Sent this to a lib friend of mine. Hasnt responded yet. He previously harshly scolded me for saying I wouldn't mourn Carter's death. He also complained abour leftists speaking horribly about world leaders. I probably shouldnt burn bridges but Im just so fucking mad at libs continuing to prioritize civility politics over actually doing or saying anything meaningful. Not to self-aggrandize obviously Im not doing activism feuding with my friends lmao. Anyway I guess Im still angry and I couldn't help needling him. I probably need to grow up and let shit go lol.

The small upside to Trump in office again is that liberals can't write this off as a one-off fluke. Like, when they insist "The office of the presidency is supposed to be respected! You're supposed to take it seriously, the title comes with gravitas!". No. No, it was never respectable, it's always been like this you just never listened beyond the tone and cadence to hear the actual words being said, never really considered the actions being taken. But liberals don't wanna hear it. Now I don't even have to try to make that futile argument. I can just point to the flim-flamming humbug and say, sorry, but he really is the most American president.
