    Trump has no legislative legacy, and everything he did can be easily rolled back
    Yes. trump circumvented Congress every chance he could. In many ways. Which is why it was necessary that he was sent packing in November.
    Once in a while you get shown the light, in the strangest of places if you look at it right.

    I love it. Trump spent a dozen years obsessed with and lying about Barack Obama. In 24 hours, Biden erased most of Trump's presidency and restored many of Obama's policies.

    “The result is the biggest post-election question in U.S. politics: What happened? How did Trump post solid numbers with a group he “should” have done poorly with?”
    https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.was...outputType=amp
    __________

    The answer? Easy: faulty assumption.

    The assumption was Hispanics had the same feels about poor Hispanics flooding into the country as white liberals do.

    It should have been an easy assumption to reject at the outset, for the simple reason many poor Hispanic *citizens* are adversely affected by lax border policies for the simple matter that poor Hispanic non-citizens are coming here taking their jobs, bringing crime to poor Hispanic communities and etc.

His presidency was undone in 24 hours. He was impeached twice and is widely regarded across the entire world as the worst American president in history. Trump was a blip (and a blimp) and is now irrelevant.

    Music to my ears:

    "All day Wednesday, there was a sense of lightness in the air as political opponents went out of their way to be courteous to one another, perhaps out of respect for Biden's call for an end to the "uncivil war" of modern politics." (from the OP link)

    61, Trump nationally won about 32% of the Latino vote, Biden nationally won about 66%.

    66 to 32 is a blowout by any measure of electoral accounting, and Trump's 32% is only an average Republican national performance with Hispanics over the last 30 years.

Stores asking you to wear a mask are infringing on your rights, rights that are written nowhere. This will linger.
    All of that is true, but I also don't think Trump created much new hate and division that wasn't always there anyway. All of these racists and terrible people were always racist and terrible. It's just that they were forced to stay in their closets for a few decades. That's why they waged war against "PC culture". They thought it was unfair and felt victimized that they weren't allowed to be racist and terrible in public. All Trump really did was come along and say, "You poor, white, undereducated, racist bigots have been victims for so long. Go ahead and act like complete assholes in public as if this was the 1950s." And so they did. The people who support(ed) Trump cannot be rehabilitated. They're lost causes. The best we can do is to push them back into their closets so that they once again feel ashamed to express their darkest thoughts in public.

    France and Britain launched fireworks and rang church bells when the election was called for Biden. Trump will be remembered as the worst president in American history, an international disaster, and an embarrassment to all human beings.

    I really think you and Trump vastly over estimated how much you could turn the federal courts into a hyperpartisan arm of the Republican Party
    I underestimated their confirmation soooo much that the senate wasted weeks lying trying to block the confirmation of three appointees to the SC.
