No we wouldn’t and by pretending anything Trump has done even pre-Covid is both trying to see “both sides” not to get flagged by HN and to say that all Republicans are just as malicious, corrupt and incompetent as his administration has been and is a lazy argument. I went out of my way not to paint all Republicans since 1980 with the same brush.
Before Trump, a Republican administration supported both the Voting Rights Act - didn’t try to disenfranchise minorities - and the Americans with Disabilities Act.
Both Republicans and Democratic Presidents supported the EITC.
Bush didn’t demonize Muslims after 9/11 he went out of his way not to.
No I didn’t agree with all of their policies, but I didn’t feel that they went out of their way to target “others”. They showed a level of decency and poise that you don’t see now.
I still don’t see how this is coming off partisan.
To act as if any other President of either party in modern history has done the same things that he has said and done is a severe case of “whataboutism”.
