That's why I said he is doing "very little" and not "nothing" that wasn't where we were already headed. Trump has been a national embarrassment in regards to Ukraine, but I'm not sure he's really hurt them. It's not like Biden was doing a great job there. Venezuela has been "screwed up" for a very long time, and the US is largely responsible for that - both Democrats and Republicans.

I also don’t buy that the U.S. was headed to fascism with military on the streets

Then you haven't been paying attention. What do you think the militarization of police has all been about? That's something that Republicans and Democrats have both been pushing, right alongside mass surveillance. Look into how the "Cop City" protests were responded to.

and ICE taking naturalized citizens off the streets violently

Trump is a far worse than any Democrat on that front, but lets not pretend ICE wasn't draconian under Biden as well.

So no, the parties are not the same. At all.

WTF? Why is it impossible to have any kind of discussion about the Democratic establishment without this bullshit? Where did I say both parties are the same? They are very different, but the dynamic between the two has always been leading us to certain inevitable outcomes. Republicans push politics to the right, while Democrats follow the polls and don't try to lead the country anywhere. The end result is a steady march to the right.

And specifically villainizing the idiots who helped Trump win by ‘protest’ voting against the democrats is valid.

I think the term "villain" is a little over the top, but I didn't criticize you for calling them out, I criticized you for calling them out exclusively. That's a toxic attitude and a strong indicator of establishment brain-rot. It's repeating the exact mistakes that drove people away from voting for Democrats in the first place. You aren't trying to win elections, you are being smug. I hold you personally more responsible for Trump's win than any protest voter. A curse on you both.
