    Corporate tax cuts are for life. Middle class cuts expire. Not sure about the top marginal rate, or the cap gains rate.

    Most of them are unqualified. As soon as they screw up, they can be impeached.

    Media can control that by not reporting on the daily trump lies. I believe that's the plan

    This is going to be a great year for trumpwatch.
    You're right. My calling Trump irrelevant is more wishful thinking than anything. The judicial appointments will have lasting consequences for decades. I'm just waiting for some of the abortion and voting rights and LGBTQ rights cases to make it through the appeals process. I also don't know how society at large is going to deal with the Trumpists. Talk about unity is nice and Biden, being the person and politician that he is, is right to discuss it, but I just don't see how it's possible. Our differences are not just political. They involve deep differences about the way people should be treated. Whether or not minorities should have civil rights. Whether the US will continue to be an inclusive country that allows all kinds of people to participate in the society and that even allows them to immigrate here. More importantly, we can't even discuss our differences -- political, cultural, and otherwise -- because we don't even speak the same language anymore.

    The Trumpists have learned entitlement to deny facts and invent reality. They think that everything is relative and subjective and that there is no universal truth to anything. That if they "believe" or if they have an "opinion" that 2 + 2 = 5 and that purple is a type of dinosaur rather than a color, that their "belief" or "opinion" is just as valid as centuries of scientific learning and advances in knowledge and technology. They think words don't have definitions. I honestly feel like having a conversation with most Trumpists is like having a conversation with my deceased grandfather near the end of his life when his Alzheimer's was so advanced that it was debilitating. He was lost; and he was beyond hope and help. He didn't know what was real anymore. He distrusted people who had been his friends for his entire or their entire lives. I have given up every hope in every Trumpist. I just hope that someone smarter and more powerful than I am can think of a solution.

    Since he's been told to shut up, misinformation in social media is down 73%. trump did indeed give permission to those you mention above to let their inner racist out. Worse yet, he encouraged it.

    Ask any elderly Republican voter what they love about trump. 'He pisses off Liberals, and he tells it like it is'

    He tells it like a racist tells it. Nothing more
    If I never hear the excuse, "He tells it like it is," for the rest of my life, it will be too soon. I don't know how much of what Trump did was intentional on his part. He's not brain dead like most of his supporters are, but he certainly is not smart. Someone read Ann Coulter's book about the browning of America to him. Someone else introduced him to his butt buddy, Sean Hannity. And then the train was on a runaway course.

    He told people that they shouldn't have to hear any language other than English in the grocery store. He told them that they shouldn't have to smell ethnic food cooking in their apartments. He told them that "others" were taking their jobs, raping their babies, and murdering their families.

    He manipulated the discontent of people who enjoy white privilege, who feel marginalized because their white privilege is eroding as demographics evolve and non-white people start calling out white people for their privilege, who struggle with finances because they work in unskilled jobs because they have minimal formal education, and who felt uncomfortable learning new words like "transgender", "mosque", "Kwanzaa", and "quinceañera".

    I don't know if or when he's going to start his own social media platform and/or political party, but they are both doomed to fail because they won't be about anything except him and his ego. As for the racists and the rest of his supporters, no one can fix them. We just have to shove them back in their closets where they can stew about "niggers" and "fags" by their own miserable selves.

    sad, the greatest president, w/ the greatest administration of all time gone in less than 24 hours.

    Lets all laugh w/ the world:
    "There is no question former President Trump bears moral responsibility. His supporters stormed the Capitol because of the unhinged falsehoods he shouted into the world’s largest megaphone," McConnell wrote. "His behavior during and after the chaos was also unconscionable, from attacking Vice President Mike Pence during the riot to praising the criminals after it ended."
