      Yes, because if you are counting on Democratic politicians to reverse anything - this, Denali, Gulf of Mexico, Kennedy Center, etc - then you are setting yourself up for disappointment. Fossils like Schumer think reversing incredibly unpopular things somehow loses them support from centrists.

      I’ve voted Democrat all my life, but I swear to God if the next Democratic president doesn’t go full scorched earth on all the Trump bullshit, I’m fully done with them.

      I literarily will give no shits anymore, another Biden let’s move on and hold hands after this fascist asshole is unacceptable.

      “In order for the country to heal after such a divisive President. I am pardoning President Donald Trump and his entire adminstration. All projects started by President Bonald Trump will be finished, This is the only way we can come together as a country.”

        Unfortunately probably this. And that leaves the door open for an even worse Trump someday.

          Reconciliation and forgiveness can be powerful tools for a country to move on. However, there is there is the improper way and there are more effective ways to for a country to heal.

          Truth commissions can be an effective way to for a country to move forward. People have to be held accountable, there has to be fact finding, a plan to move forward, and genuine good faith to particpate.

            Perhaps. But the US is allergic to reparations for slavery, has never done a commission on the lingering effects of slavery, or the experience of being Black in America. why would they do one for electing someone twice who turned out to be dictator and did a coup??
