I don’t know about that. In 2014 when Russia annexed Crimea Obama did fuck all about it. Don’t get me wrong. I loved Obama as president but that made the US and EU look weak.
True. I liked Obama. I think he’s the best president the US has had in decades, I’m Canadian btw. But I think he was also pretty flawed too. I think the bar has just gone so insanely low now it’s just gone into the sub basement and bellow.
IIRC, he didn't have the legislature, so anything meaningful he tried to pass got blocked.
I'm hoping the USA wakes up enough so that the mid-terms mean the second half of Trump's presidency gets similarly stymied in the houses.
Of course, I guess then Trump just goes full dictator, declaring congress and senate traitors and declaring himself dictator for life to restore a true America in his vision.
I'm not sure I'm even joking writing that at this point.
The problem is that even if the Democrats get Congress in the mid-terms, they'll have to be active in stopping Trump. It's not like he's using Congress to do all the shit he's doing now.
