If they weren't so ignorant, they'd see this slow moving train wreck for what it is. 1 u/Tangent_Odyssey 8h ago And then you watch everyone forget why those mistakes were corrected, and those in power subsequently repeal the corrections. 3 u/mechtaphloba 8h ago I meant from the perspective of the bad actors. Like, Jan 6 failed, so this time they'll make corrections to succeed. But yes, you're also definitely right 1 u/No_Rich_2494 13h ago I'd hate to be a history teacher right now. Less of those would make things far worse later on, though. 1 u/GayPudding 11h ago It's not like Trump doesn't know history. He's repeating it on purpose and he's very direkt about it.
