    Biden was a decent president with terrible PR due to a fundamentally cowardly position through his entire presidency. The Dems were obviously scared to death of the MAGA Nazis, and spent 4 years trying to appease them.

    Biden’s biggest, and most enduring mistake was not ordering the arrest of Trump and his henchmen within minutes of his Inauguration. The entire criminal mob should have been detained in Gitmo as National Security threats, and undergone extensive interrogation regarding their nefarious dealings with Russia and others.

    Sure, MAGA would have gone crazy, giving Biden the perfect excuse to put them down HARD, and then use their violence to declare them a violent terrorist hate group. In addition, any of their propagandists, from Fox News to Charlie Kirk and Hannity, would be rounded up for encouraging violence, this destroying the Conservative Propaganda Machine, and leaving the only coordinated messaging to the Democrats to justify the MAGA purge.

    And don’t forget, at that point we didn’t know about his scheme to steal hundreds of classified documents yet. So while he was in custody, with the Biden administration saying that he was being investigated for treason, they would have discovered all those stolen documents, and EVERYONE in America would finally understand what traitors they are.

    But instead, they did literally NOTHING. They ran a competent administration, which never once tried to promote their accomplishments, preferring to modestly let their successes speak for themselves, which was impossible in the wake of ferocious conservative propaganda.

    Just weak, all the way around. Dems need to grow some balls. Dems play like it’s middle school junior varsity softball, while MAGAs play major league football, and they are all on the same field.

      People were saying “but if you arrest the Republicans for crimes, they’ll put you in camps when they get power back!”. Now we have camps.

      They’re going to be evil no matter what. Might as well try to break their spine while you can.
