These days, you could just tweet, "What an incredible shitshow," pretty much any time, without any context, and people would assume they knew what you were talking about, and that you probably weren't wrong.

Trump didn't do the thing he's accused of doing, but if he did it was fine, and in fact that's exactly what he did, get over it, because it's not only fine, it's precisely what we want from a president, and can you believe that Biden did the same thing, shame on him.

The problem has always been remarkably straightforward: Donald Trump was never fit to be president. The question was what to do about that.
Unfortunately we ended up spending most of the last few years arguing about the first proposition rather than the question it implied.

Wasn't a fan of Mitt Romney when he ran in 2012. Thought he was a good man who'd be a bad president.
I'm still not sure he'd have been a good president. But sometimes, it turns out, being a good man counts for a lot.
Speaking shortly after Hawley, Romney said: “What happened here today was an insurrection, incited by the President...Those who choose to continue to support his dangerous gambit by objecting to the results of a legitimate democratic election will forever be seen as complicit.”

Yup. If nothing else, The Mandalorian, which is consistently delightful and occasionally great, shows how timid and small the J.J. Abrams strategy of remixing the originals was.
