America is dealing with GOP trauma. The media gives the patriarchy/abuser a free pass, by design.
This is % true. And yet: we do not have to be happy with what we have, just because things are not worse. Would Trump’s very presence have made every measurable metric worse? Yes. But that doesn’t mean we stop fighting for better.
Biden’s Covid response has been abysmal. He’s out here calling Putin a war criminal & doing nothing about it; tweeting that healthcare is a right not a privilege on the same day the federal govt stops funding free Covid testing. His border policies remain largely unchanged from Trump’s racist & disgusting policies; we’re still looking at a bogusly Republican-packed 5-4 court, even w/Katanji Brown Jackson’s confirmation.
We can acknowledge that everything would be worse with our former President while still requiring more, requiring BETTER, from our current one.
