    There’s a lot more than that to draw from.

    Trump repealed 112 climate regulations, left the Paris Climate Agreement, left the WHO, repealed trans care anti-discrimination law, repealed gay rights to beneficiaries, enacted Title 42 and the Muslim ban, repealed the law prohibiting Israeli settlements on Palestinian territory, repealed Net Neutrality, provided tax cuts to the wealthy that further widened our already exploitative wealth inequality, increased tariffs on goods costing the consumers, repealed the ACA without replacement, seated the conservatives in SCOTUS that repealed Roe v.

      These are all great examples and would work for any human being with an ounce of responsibility and empathy. Unfortunately, most people I have tried to convince to vote for Biden, only care that shit is cheap and taxes are low. We need to attack them from their angles if we want to change their minds. And you’ll never convince business owners that more taxes is good they can’t see past their profits. Its garbage, and its why Trump is popular. Because we somehow have this fucked up swing where shitty Republican policies go into effect when democrats are in office and good responsible democratic policies go into effect when the dipshit Republicans are in office. Making this circus worse.

        That’s true. His tax plan was worse for small businesses and independent contractors. It largely favored the wealthy and corporations. It favored the minority of Americans, so it’s definitely more a problem of awareness than of benefit.
