Always has been.
The very first thing I ever learned about Donald Trump was that he was filing for bankruptcy.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Holy shit, I didn't need to be reminded what a shit head Trump is to people but this article went ahead and reminded me that he and his voters just fucking love name calling. When I first got into politics 20 years ago a long serving MP told me to "never blame the voter" and "the voter always makes the best choice" , but you know what? I think he was wrong, I absolutely do blame people for empowering Trump and this descent of basic decency in public.
Just awful, awful people.
I feel silly because I lived my whole life respecting the GOP as, "not my party but good people regardless." I've lost all respect now and realize how naive I was. Trump's supporters want to watch America burn and the rest of the GOP seems fine with it. 0 respect.
Don't feel silly. That was the case for a long time. It's been downhill since Reagan.
I could argue Reagan was a catalyst, a cause even.
Deplorable, in fact.
I didn't want to vote for the old man I so voted for the old man - people who have bought into the conservative induced mania about Biden's mental health
No shit.
