POTUS' ego will never allow that to happen. The overly publicized "civil unrest" and Covid could be thrown in his face, sure, but could Sleepy Joe capitalize on those things enough to win?
Simply saying "this happened under Trump's watch, durrrr" will only carry significant weight with the Never-Trumper crowd. Many of his die-hard supporters have only dug in deeper as a response to these attempts at being shamed by the media on a daily basis. People get tired of that shit. I hate to invoke that truly insane thing Katz said in "Pumping Iron," but he had a point when he blathered about being the type of abused dog who'd roll over and die v. the dog who grew sick of neglect and bit back.
As I said, his statement was indicative of a frighteningly poor and destructive mindset, but it speaks to tolerant, civilized people being so inundated with a slippery slope of crazy bullshit, there's seemingly no end in sight (taking down the Confederate monuments aren't enough? Let's go after George Washington, then! And Lincoln, because he didn't give a flying fuck about slaves! Hell, let's blow up Mount Rushmore next!).
These ideologues profess to be all about love and tolerance, but only when it suits their agenda. They expect me to apologize for things my ancestors may or may not have done hundreds of years ago? FUCK YOU! By that reasoning, I reckon one of my ancestors had a raw deal at the hands of one of more descendents of some people in my area. Maybe Jane down the street had an ancient ancestor who insulted mine by not following the sacred stipulations of a Druid burial ritual.
Does that mean Jane owes me something compensatory? She is cute, and she's got lips to rival Danielle Fisher or Angelina Jolie. Would her blowjob make up for her great to the power of whatever's uncle's transgression?
It'd probably be good, but no
, because I expect no more reparations from someone from thousands of years ago than I plan to pay as much to slaves my ancestors might not have even owned circa the 19th century.
I know. Tl,dr, hurf durf for the morons with a knat's attention span. I'm a little tipsy. So fucking sue me.
