I've heard some variant of this a lot recently, and it's bizarre. Worse than those who owned slaves? Worse than Andrew "Trail of Tears" Jackson? Worse than Ronald "Central American death squads" Reagan? Worse than George W. Bush, who murdered half a million people in Iraq and set up a gulag that still exists? What kind of mental gymnastics do people have to do to rehabilitate these monsters in order to put Trump at the bottom of the list? Is it really about having a veneer of pleasant-feeling civility over the carnage? Will we see the same rehabilitation of Trump when the Republicans nominate the Bison Helmet Rioter / Steve Bannon ticket in 2024?
Exactly.
