Well, those things sound very quaint compared to what Trump did and does, no matter if you take his first or his second term...
The audacity! I’m clutching my pearls.
Obstructionism as a core tenet of the (former) Republican platform is reprehensible, and retrospectively probably led to quite a bit of discontent with the government’s inability to address problems that Americans face. That same discontent fomented the current reactionary swing, so in the end maybe they really got what they wanted. Shameful.
"Other things" most obviously being the racism caused in part by significant cognitive dissonance that uniquely affects white supremacists when having a black president.
Gloating? Oh no! We should impeach him!
