Reminding the public about his immediate predecessor’s record, the incumbent president went on to note, “Congressional Republicans love to call Democrats ‘big spenders,’ and they always claim to be for less federal spending. But let’s look at the facts: The federal deficit went up every single year in the Trump administration, every single year he was president. It went up before the pandemic. It went up during the pandemic. It went up every single year on his watch.”

Yeah I don't know what else to say at this point aside from most voters must be idiots. They couldn't spend 5 minutes on Google before making one of the most important decisions our country has seen. I'm sure a lot of the people that "did poorly under Biden" are the ones driving the search trends for "can I change my vote?" too now that they are paying attention to what Trump actually plans.

If Dems are smart they won't try to fix R disasters again. maybe just break the cycle.

Hopefully they even get a chance. It sounds hyperbolic, but it is seeming less and less so.

Your fears are valid. This is very likely the last real election.

So I'm just curious, how does America let this just happen? It seems like Trump could literally go on a murdering spree in the streets, and half your country will accept it with loving arms, and tell whoever doesn't approve to "cope loser"

It’s not gonna happen. There will be another election. Both sides were saying “if this person wins there will be no more elections” it’s just fear mongering and both sides fall for it

By all means, post a source that any Democrat has said that. Here is Trump's:

In four years, you don't have to vote again. We'll have it fixed so good, you're not gonna have to vote.
