Being right is one thing though - but the guy was a belligerent buffoon who had no idea how to make progress on what he believed in. Worse, he fueled division further. He amped up the shitty power of social media to get people angrier.
I understand that it's impossible to ask your typical human to separate their disgust for a politician from a collateral damage disgust for all of those who voted for him, but that doesn't make this typical human weakness ok. And you certainly can't blame those who voted for the man, for the mob mentality hatred they received. Let's try to keep some focus on the fact that pop culture was at a place where lefties were openly discussing ways to exact social and economic retribution on anybody who voted for the man. And that wasn't just fringy people, that was the pop culture masses thinking that way. All the way up and down the status chain, especially on the upwards side of it. No, that display of human weakness and mob hatred does not get a pass by blaming it on Trump.

I guess we could ask whether we we were happier with the way things were going before or after Trump.
I thought the move towards shitness accelerated during his Presidency. You can argue whether that was his fault or not, but in reality it doesn’t matter whose fault it was. It’s the shitness that matters.

The blame matters a lot. The blame is what allowed the righteous mob to act as shittily as they wanted to. Because they weren't to blame for this unacceptable situation where their president was a disgusting orange haired reality TV hack. Which side was given more of a pass for acting shittily, the pro-trump side or the anti-trump side? Of course the anti-Trump side had a perpetual get out of blame for shitty behavior free card, as long as the shitty behavior was motivated by righteous Trump hatred. Moments like that are where character is displayed, as assholes with low self-awareness think they can act shittily, as long as their shit blends in with all the righteous mob shit around them. It was clear that some people rather enjoyed the opportunity for some good ol' hatred of the other tribe. The only thing keeping such assholes in check are social mores, and the shame of acting like that when everybody else around them isn't. But as soon as everybody around them is acting that way.... look out.

I must admit I thought Trump was a revolting old twat. The new guy is a useless one.
I don’t think anybody’s going to argue that either of them made the world a better place.

Another product of brainwashing.
Simply put, if you are incapable of acknowledging that Trump's policies made the world a better place, then you are a fool.
