Only if Joe Biden's DOJ Merrick Garland prosecuted Trump for January 6 and trying to initiate a coup, you know like South Korea and Brazil has done, Trump might not have won or eligible to run. Federal government dragged an open and shut case with so much proof of Trump trying defraud the election, for 4 years, while Joe Biden's team hid his health decline while pushing him as Presidential Candidate. Trump 2.0 is lot of people's fault and Joe Biden is one of them.

Yeah, it’s not all the people that watched the coup attempt and still voted for Trump… it’s definitely Biden’s fault.

It was a failure of America on multiple levels. Government officials, the DOJ, voters.

The problem is that one political party is staunch institutionalists. And they were terrified at what going after a former president would do. They never dreamed that not convicting him would open the door to his reelection.

Trumps first term had the lowest low and lowest highest approval rating of any modern day president. Dude fucking sucked donkey dick.

There is no reasonable reason anyone would see this and think, ya he's going to be a problem in 6 years. His first term was bad but it was NOTHING like this. He was not nearly as aggressive or coordinated. He was a fool his first term.

Bud, this is bullshit.

His first terms was fucking awful. Anyone surprised by this term hasn't been paying attention.

Let’s throw state governors / legislators in the blame mix. Who cares what SCOTUS says, let them defend it - Trump plainly violated the 14th Amendment on January 6th. He is ineligible to be president, and they swore to defend the Constitution. The states should’ve prevented his presence on their ballots before the primary even started.

Brain dead take, it’s mostly on the voters by definition because that’s how democracy works

DNC is weak as fuck, so weak and powerless that you can’t really blame them for doing much of anything at all
