🧵 One of the things that genuinely pisses me off regularly is the absolute non-coverage of the fact that everything the Biden administration has had to deal with for 4 years are specific, unambiguous examples of Donald Trump's intentional sabotage of this country.

The effect of the pandemic:
Specifically, the death toll, the shutdowns, job losses, and economic impact, all caused by Trump ditching a literal pandemic playbook that was written by experts on virology and pandemic response.
Intentional.

The Middle East:
Trump ordered the hurried, slipshod withdrawal of Afghanistan, the release of 5,000 terrorists, while shutting the Afghanistan government out, effectively ending that government - AFTER he lost the election, to intentionally cause chaos there.

Middle East (cont)
Additional intentional acts of sabotage included abandoning allies in Syria to be slaughtered by our adversaries, politicizing Ukraine (obvs), and moving the US embassy to Jeruselem, further enflaming tensions in the region.

Foreign policy:
Trump has signaled in zero uncertain terms that he is 100% aligned with America's adversaries. He will withdraw the US from NATO and abandon our allies to the autocratic dictators he admires, intentionally weakening our relationships across the globe.

Taxes:
Trump's single success - giving a massive tax windfall to billionaires was intentionally built with a middle class time bomb, specifically in case a Democrat won in 2020, so the middle class tax breaks expired, while the 1% were permanent.

Immigration:
Trump did NOTHING on immigration save for his ridiculous wall vanity project which has had zero effect.
No additional CBP funding, no funding for existing fentanyl detectors, nothing but fear-mongering about caravans, which subsided as soon as Harris engaged

Immigration (cont):
with the countries from where most migrants are coming from. Trump never made any effort to engage with the root causes of immigration because he (and the GOP by extension) are not interested in solving what the GOP can perennially run on by scaring you.

Inflation:
Trump has never, nor will ever acknowledge, or make a single effort to address the rampant profiteering and coordinated corporate price gouging that accounts for ~50% of the inflated prices for goods Americans have been struggling with since the pandemic.

Inflation (cont):
One of the bigger drivers of the global inflation we've all been dealing with was Trump's ignorant commodity market manipulation and the awful deal he made with OPEC kept global oil prices inflated for years, which inflated the cost of everything.

None of this is random.
None of it is chance.
The specific major issues that the Biden/Harris administration has had to deal with are the direct result of the previous administration's intentional manipulation, sabotage, and corruption, full stop.
That no major publication

ever drawn those lines to illustrate exactly and factually what Americans are being asked to vote for or against again is journalistic malpractice at its absolute height, and it is as intentional as anything Trump has done.
These are undeniable facts and documented history.

And all of this is before approaching the conversation of what he has intentionally done to make things exponentially worse and turned clocks back on women's autonomy, racial equity & equality, religious freedom, and the rule of law writ large.

The corporate media ecosystem has failed us all. They have failed us, divided us, pitted us against family, friends, and complete strangers we know nothing about, intentionally and cynically, favoring ratings and revenue over truth and transparency.

Next month, we need to resoundingly defeat the party of sabotage amd their leader.
The GOP and Trump have cost us all so much. Friends, family, opportunities, and most importantly, time.
They've taken nearly a decade from us, doing nothing but set us back further.

It's time to put this roadblock to progress behind. It's time to look forward to what we can be and leave what we've been behind.
Donald Trump and the GOP are our embarrassing past.
Let's move on from it together.
29 days. Let's do this.
