I had lunch with my friends today and all three of us are reasonable students of history.
We all agreed there has never, ever been an unqualified presidential disaster like Trump. Closest would be some famous, failed, flawed crooked dictators of the past.
There is no way to get used to this level of corruption and ineptitude. No way.

(60,014 posts)Of course we are in uncharted territory. Our constitution has no provision for this level of criminal activity.
So those of us who say do over are of course being aspirational. It is what SHOULD happen. And of course we also know it is something that under current conditions can't happen.
