Fuck this asshole. Few people have done as much damage as he has and the worst part is we’re only going to get someone worse.
It can’t get worse. He found the bottom and decided to go deeper. Nobody can replace his level of destruction of the United States. It will take a genuine master class asshole to come close.
I think that you are correct here. He comes from an old school way of looking at the world, pre-Boomer, which was really a lot of “I get mine and it’s ok if I take yours to get it”. These people built out the country to exclude minorities and take away power from women. His replacement will certainly be much younger and have a completely different viewpoint on the world.
God I hope so, but I have a feeling it’s going to be another monster; just without the spectre of death looming over them like the rainbow after a storm.
I don’t think we’ll get someone that’s both as evil AND as effective as him.
What has made him the big bad for so long is that he’s really good at what he does. He’s a perfect mixture of professional competence and evil. Trump is a cartoon villain, but what enabled Trump was the terrible machine that Mitch built.
I don’t know if the US has ever had a politician who has had a more harmful impact. Without Mitch we’d be in a much better place even if the GOP held all branches of government.
