He got 70-ish million votes in 2024.

America's population in 2024 was 350 million.

So no, it's nowhere near half. Stop making the wannabe fascist more popular than he is

I'm not sure how.

The Supreme Court changed the rules to benefit him. They'll change it back

And the answer to that is to ignore them. At this point, a complete reseting of the judiciary system is needed. We're not going to defeat fascists by playing by rules they don't have to. If Trump can ignore the Court, so can Dems.

A good number of the 80 million who didn't vote are at the very least apathetic about the threat of fascists taking control. They are complicit.

Complicit doesn't mean they think he's the best president ever. People not voting would indicate they don't care about him much one way or the other. It's really more telling about our deadbeat society that doesn't care about issues beyond short-term fixes and is willing to completely fuck up the future for generations that currently get no to little say in politics (and when they do, they're encouraged to undermine long-term ramifications through indoctrination).

Donald Trump can be considered the worst president ever based on a combination of his actions, rhetoric, and long-term damage to democratic norms. Here's why:
1. Undermining Democracy:
Trump repeatedly spread false claims about election fraud, culminating in his role in inciting the January 6th insurrection. This was an unprecedented attack on the peaceful transfer of power, a cornerstone of American democracy.
2. Incompetent Pandemic Response:
His handling of COVID-19 was marked by misinformation, denial of scientific evidence, and inconsistent messaging. Over 400,000 Americans had died by the end of his term, and many experts believe a more competent response could have saved tens of thousands of lives.
3. Constant Lying:
Trump made over 30,000 false or misleading statements during his presidency, according to multiple fact-checking organizations. This level of dishonesty eroded public trust in institutions, media, and even basic facts.
4. Corruption and Nepotism:
He appointed family members to key advisory roles and used the presidency to benefit his businesses. Multiple officials in his administration were investigated or indicted, and watchdog groups flagged numerous ethics violations.
5. Divisive Leadership:
Rather than uniting the country, Trump consistently stoked racial and political division. He refused to unequivocally denounce white supremacists and used inflammatory language that polarized an already divided nation.
6. International Damage:
Trump weakened key alliances, withdrew from international agreements like the Paris Climate Accord and the Iran nuclear deal, and praised authoritarian leaders while alienating democratic allies. This diminished Americas credibility and leadership on the world stage.
7. Policy Failures:
His tax cuts overwhelmingly benefited the wealthy and ballooned the national deficit. Environmental regulations were rolled back at the expense of long-term climate goals. Health care remained a mess despite promises to repeal and replace the ACA.
While some supporters praise Trump for appointing judges and reducing regulations, the overall harm to democratic institutions, public trust, and global standing make a strong case that he was the most damaging and irresponsible president in American history.

I'm pretty much yes.

The only cavet was what his long term effects will be. You can actully track when regan came into power and graph when everything started getting worse.

With trump it might be like that, or as soon as he's out a leftist movement undos everything he did.
You can argue that the reason why regan was so terrible was because the clintons were complicit with republican power instead of trying to resist his terrible reforms.

as it stand if no one does anything after trump is gone then yes he's the worst but if this somehow causes good change as a reaction to trump's awefulness then he might be seen as someone that unironically caused the conditions for socialistic goverment to take root.

He's completely fucked up everything and gutted entire departments even before you get into the concentration camps, ethnic cleansing (Which admittedly other President were responsible for, too) and committing open treason.

Worst of all he makes stupid twitter posts filled with bad grammar and horrible spellings

It's as if Trump has plucked out the worst policy of every former president and in many ways he has then amplified those policies.

Everything he has done in his second term is immediately affecting millions of people and even killing millions of people around the world.

Donald Trump's cruelty is global and he has infected the politics of many countries. He is without a doubt the worst President the United States has ever seen and he is one of the worst human beings that has walked this planet.

If Trump has his way, slavery absolutely will come back. He isn't seeking funding for that many GOPstapo thugs without big plans vs. the constitution (as fed to him by the scum he surrounds himself with, most notably Miller).

Trump is the worst for sure, but hot take, Biden is a bottom five president purely for the fact that his inaction led to Trump. He appointed Garland and allowed him to drag his feet for four years, which helped lead to getting Trump back into the White House. Biden also failed to take necessary steps such as disbanding ICE after they had proven themselves to be nothing but Trumps Gestapo in his first term. And then refusing to drop out until it was too late for a candidate to be chosen through primaries. Biden isnt worse than Trump himself but we cant pretend his mistakes didnt lead us here.

Anyone arguing that Trump is not the worst is being an idiot, and I don't care what their intellect or qualifications are.

Even if we set aside the highly nontrivial issue that Trump is a traitor who has a personalty cult of violent deranged fuckwits hanging on his every word, we can take the cynical realpolitik Kissinger view of what Trump is up to.

He is single-handedly ending the status of the US as a global superpower. As directed by Putin.

Bidens failures led to the second Trump term. Biden failed to take action to punish Trump for his numerous crimes, stayed in the race until it was too late to hold a primary, then happily passed the reins to the man he had spent the last four years calling a fascist and a threat to democracy.

I certainly agree he bears culpability for Garland dragging his feet. But some of this is down to economic trends outside of Biden's control in the COVID aftermath.

Biden's positive policy steps take him well out of the bottom 10, even if he could've been much better.

It's like...why would they believe a 2024 primary wouldn't become a toxic personality contest and referendum on Gaza?

This relies on two hypotheticals: that someone would stand a better chance than Kamala Harris to win a primary and that person would also stand a better chnce in a general. I find both questionable
