Gotta say that while there are some extremists on both sides, the evidence suggests that it is the GOP that is:
- Banning books that say anything “woke” (which means anything they don’t like, notably things about racism, gay people, climate science, and evolution) and bragging about it (e.g., Florida and deSantis)
- Rewriting history to remove things like slavery (e.g., Texas)
- Blocking protesters and encouraging people to hit them with their cars (Florida and Oklahoma tried to remove vehicle driver liability for hitting protestors, starting years ago.)
- (Special item for #45): Threatening and doxxing people who might testify as to the truth.
He did the same to the Constitution his entire time in office, and to the American people then and since. And who knows? Putin may have high-resolution video of doing it, too…
Ironically, I would bet he was just about due to divorce Melania and get a new, younger wife when he got elected president, if you look at his past patterns of wife-recruiting – they get to a certain age, and he dumps them, usually for someone else he is already sleeping with, of a certain younger age. Melania was just about at that age.
But to his surprise, and Melania’s, he got elected, and now they were kind of stuck with each other…
He’s only saying he won’t because he knows it’s a loser with voters. He’ll say ANYTHING to get back into office and avoid being imprisoned for his many crimes. In fact, he’ll say anything that gets him attention! The whole “build the wall” was a throwaway that he picked up when one crowd cheered him for it. Not exactly a strategic dude.
On the other hand, bees have made a comeback.
