I remember #9/11 and how I, just coming back from the local WWII museum, cried in angry shock at what was done to you.</p><p><a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Bush" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Bush</span></a> might not have been a statesman but his heart was right and he fought the good fight. I couldnt really believe it when <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Iraq" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Iraq</span></a> turned out to be an unjust war. That daddy issues an some manifest Destiny 'enlightend imperialism' was behind it. Took a few years but yeah I got it. Thought it was an aberation. The core was good and even Bush was at heart a decent fellow who made some really bad choices. </p><p><a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Obama" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Obama</span></a> was oke, thought the Obamamania was a bit overkill as was winning the Nobel peace prize for being... president while black I guess. Still definitly a good man and a force for good in the world. Imperfect but good.</p><p>And then Trump 1. Damn what a shitshow. The vaunted rule of law, the sacred <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/democracy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>democracy</span></a> the respected institutions. It held after a genuine but oh so incompetently orchestrated self-coup. </p><p><a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Biden" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Biden</span></a> was good. Tired and old but good and above all as decent and professional as you can expect a carreer politician to be.</p><p>Now this...</p><p>I hope my family over there make it.</p><p>But at least MAGA can now Hurt the evil trannies huh. I am trans and now I cry in angry shock at what you are.</p>
