No it wasn’t. Trump wasn’t remotely as unstable as he’s been in just the past months. Sure, he said stupid and outrageous things, even wildly illogical things, but not like this.
Yeah, trump wasnt saying stupid shit like “i wonder if we could get the bleach into peoples lungs” and “covid will go away by easter, like magic” back then
At that time we already knew about the central park five too, Trump took out giant newspaper ads to try and get five people killed because they weren’t white. This didn’t deter nearly enough people, and his share of poc votes only grew after his first term too. At some point I have to think this is who we are, or at the very least this is who half of us are.
I mean - I disagree it wasn’t like this. It was exactly like this. It’s worse, yeah, but this same statement could very well have been made in 2016 and would have been just as true:
“If it wasn’t clear by his erratic, self-obsessed behavior, his pathological lying, his lack of moral conscience, his assaults of women, and his blatant disregard for the safety of others, more than 200 experts agree that he is unfit for office,” Conway said. “Voters need to recognize the threat we face electing this deranged man.”
It wasexactly like this in 2016. It was just a lot harder for laymen to spot. Many clinicians discussed feeling a responsibility to warn vs interpretation of the “Goldwater Rule”.
