Considering most of it was just Republicans being dicks and blocking as much progress as possible, sure

Trump has literally irreparably destroyed many crucial pieces of the US government. Wed still be in a decent spot without four more Obama years if it meant zero Trump years

I mean, of we're just going back as far as we can to root out this shit, then McCain should have won in 2008.

Having a black man be the president completely shattered the mind and spirit of so many on the right. It started the proto-MAGA Tea Party, gave proto-MAGA shitwits like Sarah Palin a spotlight, thrust Trump into politics with his Birther bullshit, and was really the start of all the absolute venom pouring out of the Right today.

McCain, meanwhile, was probably the best conservative candidate in decades, in either direction. He was absolutely fucking harmless in comparison.

... except for the ACA. Sigh. Those first two Obama years were really something...

The root was the NFL saying no way jose to Trump buying the Buffalo Bills. Had he done that, he'd be well distracted from Obama's birth certificate nonsense.

As for his administration, it was practically inevitable sooner or later. The Tea Party was loud & angry, & they simply needed Trump as trojan horse to enact fascism.

I look at it as inevitable...

Al Gore wins 2000, gets runover after 9/11, though he never ever invades or occupies Iraq creating ISIS.
John McCain wins 2004, keeps on Afghanistaning in the inevitable Afghan war.
Hillary Clinton probably wins 2008.
Trump goes after her via sexism, skipping over the racism with Obama. The trojan horse that is Trump wins via the Tea Party chaos.

I wonder, I think America probably needs a stronger midterm gut check than actual retail POTUS hogwash. A lot of this tsunami began with Newt in the 90's; the centre-left certainly has the gulf to fill sanity for 2028 if they're not asleep at the fascist trough.

dont whitewash mccain. the only reason he didn't kill off the ACA was because he was dying and had no reason to pander to voters, 2008 mccain was a tea party psychopath.

If you really want to choose an alternate history divergence point, how about if Lyndon Johnson and Hubert Humphrey hadn't concealed Nixon's treasonous sabotage of the Vietnam peace talks from the voters. Or, better still, if Johnson hadn't invaded Vietnam in the first place.

He never should have won to begin with. Those Americans who voted for him chose a celebrity billionaire over a seasoned politician because they're sexist, racist meme-addicted morons. I also felt very certain that a celebrity billionaire would look out for the working class though, so I understood (that they were stupid).
When he was elected, though, I didn't think it would be that bad. I thought there were safeguards and protections in place and that the people with real power would still be calling the shots.
I was shocked at just how bad he was, but mostly it was just embarrassing until Covid hit, when suddenly gross incompetence turned deadly for millions of people.

But nothing could have prepared me for 2025. I mean, except for the entire first term of evidence that re-electing him would be an awful idea, the attempted coup, the Project 2025 release that publicized their terrible plans, the Supreme Court giving the president supreme power, and he himself openly stating everything that he planned to do as well as swearing revenge on his political enemies.

But other than that, we just had no warning really. So I guess I wasn't surprised that he was elected again, especially not when his opposition was a black (gasp!) woman (Gasp!) who laughed (GASP!). The choice between Neo Hitler and a laughing black woman with sensible policies and an America-first attitude is an obvious one: Neo Hitler, duh.

Now we're speedrunning the downfall of the nation. Or making it great again. The centrists still aren't sure. It really depends on whether you ask a sane person or a cultist.

Which doesn't matter. Being wildly popular in liberal strongholds means jack shit.

She was wildly unpopular is swing states. She literally refused to campaign at all in the rust belt so she could court more Beyonce and Jay Z endorsements, or throw rallies in New York amd California.

I'm so sick of people throwing around "She won the popular vote" like it actually means anything. It doesn't. It didn't then, and it sure as hell means nothing now. It was a populist year, when running an Establishment Dem was the single worst choice they could make, so of course they picked the single most Establishment person they could have possibly picked this side of Chuck Schumer. They then let her run a dismal campaign, with craptastic messaging, and patted themselves on the back like they'd already won.

Hillary won the popular vote. And not a single one of her votes had any enthusiasm behind it.

and she won the primary

so should the DNC have refused to let her be the candidate after she won the primary?

No, but they were foolish for throwing all their resources at her and ramming her through the primary in the first place. They were also foolish for their role in facilitating her absolutely dreadful campaign strategy.

The most tragic thing is that considering Trump won 2024, we would've had 4 more years of him (somehow he lives) no matter what. I guess if he was actually pushing 90~100, it might've not happened, but I genuinely doubt we would've held til then

For one thing, there's like a bizarre 1/3 of the population who worship him, for another, the way the country is being run was already fucked long before Trump. He's both the symptom and the problem
