He doesn't even do that, he just speaks about it.
But he hurt the common folk more than anyone else.
He literally tried to make sure COVID killed more people in cities because they don't vote for him as much
And it didn't work.
There were many such attempts, and almost every one failed. And exploded in the other direction.
I just take issue with "he just talks about it". When the president talks about hurting vulnerable communities, shit happens. He put kids in cages.
Yeah, I know.
He also stacked the courts, sanctioned China, suggested injesting bleach, rolled back a lot of environmental protections, tried to buy Greenland, leave NATO, and many other things. Some did more damage than others, a lot of it won't be repaired in our lifetimes.
Stochastic terorism is on the rise thanks to him.
But I still think he hurt his base more than anyone else.
You're not wrong, but for me the conversation about politics needs to shift away from "did they hurt their enemies effectively".
