    Sometimes I ask people what made Trump so uniquely bad. The only answer I’ve gotten so far, one which can’t be applied to every other US president, is his unfiltered and brash communication style.

    I also think that Trump was good vis a vis nations in the US sphere of influence. The leaders of those countries started thinking about what happens when they’re not the US’ puppets. Unfortunately those thoughts were all forgotten as soon as Biden was elected, as everything went back to normal.

      I’m convinced that the real reason Trump is so hated is because he pulled the curtain back and just openly said what the US was all about. A famous example of that was when he just blurted out how the US is occupying Syria for their oil. It’s not about defending human rights, and all the other bullshit libs peddle, it’s about plunder. And when Trump comes out and says these things he takes away the fig leaf that libs use to justify the atrocities their government commits. All of a sudden they’re forced to look in the mirror and grapple with the fact that US is a fascist state. That’s what drives them up the wall.
