I find your comment moronic and your revisionist history and head in-the sand MSNBC watching approach equally childish. How’s that for self-evident?

Trump’s unique awfulness in American and world history is indeed self evident and in forty year’s time nobody will ever admit to having voted for him, including you.

Trump is an awful character, but equating him to the worst villains of history (at this point in time) is dishonest and hyperbolistic. Also, assuming you know who I voted for is equally silly.

Yes, he's certainly one of the worst villains in history already. Maybe not if you're Chinese, he's certainly a hero then. But if you believe in Western civilisation, then he is one of the worst in human history for sure. If you hate Western civilisation then you're right he was great.

Yes, there we go, nobody voted for Trump ;)

"Biden was just as bad as Trump"

"Trump is just being honest"

"Trump is evil yes but so are all politicians but at least Trump is honest"

are basically brain dead takes from people to dishonest to admit they are basically OK with Trump. It's not true that Trump is the same as the rest. He is obviously worse than previous leaders.

Anyway you've said elsewhere you don't even believe the president is in control so in any case at bets your views are extremely outside of what is generally considered mainstream.
