"Orange man bad" has not aged well. This has to be one of not many times in politics where someone has been worse than even his own opponents could dream.
History will not look kindly on people who turned a blind eye.

Well, a number of Trump's opponents did think we'd be living in a fascist dictatorship inside of a year after he was elected. That didn't happen. This is very, very bad, worse than I expected, but plenty of people on Twitter expected the imminent end of the United States as a free society.

I don't deny that. He has been a terrible president, one of the worst we've seen and certainly the worst on domestic policy in my lifetime. His ambitions -- addled and confused though they are -- reflect the worst impulses of this country.
