The Million Americans dead from a purposefully sandbagged and mishandled COVID response beg to differ with your analysis in just how ruinous the Trump presidential term, was. Do they not count? Trump personally packed the Supreme Court with anti abortionists, who then killed Roe dead, do America's women not count? Doesn't matter what anyone says it's what they do. Trump did so much lasting damage to the United States it will take decades to undo. The next bite of the apple will kill it deader than Dillinger. It doesn't matter how much shit he talks, it's what he's able to destroy once given the power. That's all the racists care about.

Just calling them “racists” does a huge disservice to the rest of us targeted by waves of bigoted laws sweeping across the country. They’re going after anyone and everyone not white, male, Christian, straight, and cisgender. This is much bigger than simply race.

Never forget that, because they sure won’t.
