Amish-You saying that you didn't think Trump was divisive?
Overtly and abundantly outrightly divisive? The message of fuck you and fuck your feelings was not that long ago.

My point being that Obama was just as divisive, same fuck you and fuck your ideas, just with a far more statesmanlike delivery. Obama is a gifted speaker, the kind that can say fuck you with a smile. Trump is like a riled up drunk uncle, but to his audience he was exactly what the right wanted to hear after 8 years of Obamas polite fuck you’s. He was a response to “elections have consequences”. Couple that with he ran against a truly horrible unlikeable candidate in Hillary and he won. I will speculate that had Hillary ran 2 years ago Trump would be POTUS now.
Biden unfortunately spent too much time with Obama, he learned the fuck you attitude, but lacks Obama’s intellect and speaking talent. Not to mention he is senile.
We as a country are IMO at a point that a Reagan or Bill Clinton type that wants to somehow work together won’t win the primary, if you can’t win the primary you can’t win the Presidency in our 2 party system.
Who will the Dems run in 2024? Kamala? Not much of a candidate, her best attribute is her race/gender.
Who will the Republicans pick? Trump? He has a large angry base ready to campaign and vote. Rubio? That didn’t work last time, not enough Hispanics in the Republican party to make a difference in the primary. Ben Carson? His most electable attribute is his race.
My guess is our next POTUS, whoever it may be won’t be any kind of a unifier or healer, just another divisive idiot. I personally hope its a Republican so my bank account doesn’t scream in pain like the crazy libs who screamed at the sky when Trump won.
