Putting aside political beliefs for a moment: Can you recall anyone in our lifetimes, perhaps the lifetime of the country, who has been such a target of shit talk, rumors, lies, lawfare and felony convictions, and literal assassinations? Heck, I remember seeing bar charts that implied MSM outlets gave him anywhere from 10% to 0% positive coverage over the years.
And if you laser focus on the negatives, Trump still doesn't come close to the kind of threats poised by career criminals, clinically insane individuals, groomers, and tyrannical leaders who oversaw the deaths of tens of millions under their watch.
And I still wish Trump would do even 5% of what his enemies fear he will do.
W came pretty close. The character assassination was ubiquitous and obvious enough that even I, a completely apolitical teenager, got sick of it almost immediately. I literally could not have told you which party Bush represented, but I could sure tell you it wasn't whatever party controls the media.
If the Democrats had the unstoppable stranglehold on society in 2000 like they do now, I guarantee it would have been just as bad. And I guarantee the next Republican threat will get everything Trump did and then some.
