My thoughts on the past four years post-election

nope, Cleveland's first term was right after Arthur then Benjamin Harrison for 23rd then Cleveland again for 24th.

Thanks to Die Hard 3 I know that Chester Arthur is the 21st president. I'm fairly certain that that would make Grover Cleveland the 19th and 22nd president, respectively speaking.

Benjamin Harrison was between Cleveland and Cleveland. Honestly I kind of wish Hillary won is 2008 so future quiz shows would be stupid complicated. "Bush, Clinton, Bush, Clinton"

Cleveland was the 22nd and 24th president.

Close but peculiarly inaccurate I guess.

My own thoughts of the past four years.

I voted for Trump half as a joke and half because I didn't like Hillary. I knew many people who felt that same and did the same.

Fast forward four years later, those same people just like me, voted for Biden. I knew that 2020 was the perfect time for the Democrats to get into office because the moderates who voted for Trump last time for the most part will not vote for him a second time.

Also we all called it, but him fighting the whole election was called back in 2016 too. If he lost he would have done the same exact thing he is doing now.

Worse part is that his most loyal supporters actually think the Democrats stole the election.

Yeah, but just remember that it's not love for Mr. Biden that drove this election, but hate for Mr. 45. It's why Mr. Biden's team and their MSM allies wisely shielded him, and why despite Mr. 45 being on the way out, there's little celebration for Mr. Biden's win outside the party loyalists. He inspires NO ONE, not even his own wife.

These patterns that propelled him to the top won't keep in 2024 unless there's another engineered crisis. Note that while I'm skeptical of the political agendas of those surrounding the pandemic, I'm not keen to test it. There's every reason to wonder if this was some kind of mass attempt to shove out one of the most hated leaders in recent history. Doesn't mean you should be careless with other people's health. But it's worth considering while staying pragmatic and social distancing, wearing a facemask, etc, et al...

Plus Mr. Biden should have the decency to step aside and let the younger generation step up, and I don't have any hope that he will. For one thing, after seeking the power for four decades, when the job description in some ways is about the world quite literally revolving around you, does human nature indicate one is going to walk away from the spotlight? He will not be able to draw huge crowds, and yet he could easily sponge off the real authority in his administration, which is gonna be Ms. Harris and his cabinet picks, taking credit for their accomplishments, ducking the limelight so that he won't generate backlash from his comments while reading off teleprompters when the time comes, and boom, put in some kind of excuse as to why he can't hold public events like 2020, the MSM goes into spin mode, and he easily soars to an undeserved second term.

I suspect he could run again and perhaps even win in 2024, under the right circumstances. And that's just appalling to the state of our political system, nominated from the party that claims to hate white male privilege and then settled for the lowest common denominator of their own values. It's just embarrassing we can't do better than this. The DNC sold their souls and they have no moral high ground at all anymore.

White guys will like, vote for a guy as a joke.

WTF I never thought I'd encounter this in the wild.
