    He was.

    Obviously he wasn’t good enough to dismantle the trump power network, imprison him, kill him with the secret murder police we definitely don’t have, or prevent him from running for office (section 3 of the 14th amendment).

    But doing and standing for nothing was better than what’s going on right now.

    In the same way walking into the torture chamber with pliers is better than pulling your fingernails out.

      If he did nothing then he’d be better.

      Actively committing genocide is still actively committing genocide. Using all of Trump’s built concentration camps is still just as bad as being the one building them.

      He was more secretive and more discreet than Trump. That is how he was better. But Trump has done not a single thing the last 3 presidents have not also done.
