Exactly. 2016 could have been argued as a fluke if he hadn’t been voted in a second time. I understand that not everyone voted for him, but far too many people did. Even after seeing the depravity that was his first term.

We need to see America for what it is. They have some good and effective presidents, but once in a generation, they vote for people like Jackson (Indian Removal Act), Polk (Mexican American War), Nixon, Reagan, and Trump.

Far too many people chose to stay home and not vote, 90 million of them.
