      And having boring politics again! Remember the times when it wasn’t terrifying to look at the news?

        I politically matured during the Bush II years. I don’t ever remember being relaxed about politics.

          I was relaxed about politics through the '90s because we had a Democrat president, a budget that was not just balanced but had an actual fucking surplus (there were actual debates about what to spend the surplus on), and a vice president that looked like a sure shot to continue control of the white house and who actually understood technology and was concerned about the environment. And then I woke up the morning after the 2000 election and realized what a complete shit show our country had become.

        tbh if trump loses twice in a row it must become clear for the republicans that they should look for a less extreme candidate… right?

      I’m afraid this won’t happen anytime soon. The media will flock to him over and over again like flies on a pile of shit. The only way for this to stop…well, let’s say we missed our chance by two inches.

        He seemed mostly out of the news cycle the past four years, no? Apart from the occasional update from one of his trials.

          Yes, it was so nice those few years that the media didn’t pretend that what he said mattered.

      Oh, he’ll just be back in 2028. People probably won’t even bother to take down their “Trump 2020” signs.

        Someone near me taped over Pence and just wrote in Vance on their yard sign when they announced the nomination. I assume he spent too much on MAGA hats and stickers to afford a new sign.
