Heracross X Well, both belong to the Republican Party. Unfortunately, the GOP as it is today is fucked-up beyond Abe’s recognition, infiltrated by corporate shills, old-money hacks, and angry white baby boomers from the deepest parts of the Deep South who may have fled the Democratic Party in disgust after Lyndon Johnson sided with the Civil Rights Movement, lured in by the cynicism of a certain Barry Goldwater that the best way for the GOP to finally win in the historically-Democrat South is to pander to its deepest, darkest instincts.

[@jovanleon7]

Did you people know that Trump has achieved much more in 2 years than Obama in 8 and pretty much almost every other president in the US history?

[@azoth6641]

Jovan Leon If by “achievements” you mean Trump making America a global laughingstock, empowering the darkest instincts of his voting base (e.g. racism, xenophobia, ultranationalism, etc.), causing the longest government shutdown to date, estranging America from its traditional allies while cozying up to adversarial strongmen (especially Russia-it seems he sold out America to Putin simply because he wanted a Trump Tower in Moscow), and others that have escaped my memory (and I am speaking as a non-American), sure I can believe that.
