I remember having this same conversation 20 years ago, except instead of Harris and Trump it was Kerry and Bush, and instead of Gaza it was Iraq. We didn’t get somebody smarter than Bush, though, we got Trump.
Here’s the thing. You don’t need to be a smart president to do a lot of damage. You can have smart people in your cabinet. You also don’t have to be very smart to break a ton of shit.
Then it’s too bad that we have one party that loves that shit and one party that’s willing to tolerate that shit as long as the minimum wage never rises again.

I’ll give you that.
The “smarter” part is just something I threw in but which I did not really pondered on all that much.
In all fairness “nastiness” is the only thing which seem to have moved (upwards) consistently.
