    Unconsciously, leftists have given Trump and MAGA a free pass on genocide. No nicknames, no blame.

    Oh there are plenty of nicknames for Trump out there, don’t be mistaken.

    My personal favorite is Traitor Trump for the alliteration like the ones you present.

    But even if you haven’t seen any of these, that doesn’t mean the Left hasn’t been critical of Trump. See, Trump after taking office has issued so many executive orders as to flood the zone that it has divided attention on the Left (and anyone else for that matter) for what to criticize first.

    Perhaps what Leftists mean when they say that it’s still Biden’s fault is that Joe should have ran a primary and put the best, strongest leader the Democrats could muster against the phenom Trump. But Biden had to wait until his utter humiliation on live TV for change to happen, even though Biden initially talked about being a 1-term president. He even said this back in 2015!!

    While yes the most blame right now should be placed on Republicans, Trump, and Elon, the next portion of blame needs to squarely sit with establishment Democrats, the DNC, and Biden. Many liberals will overlook this aspect by placing the next most blame on the voters, but with no federal Election Day holiday in the US and increasing anti-voter tactics on behalf of the GOP, no wonder more people don’t vote.

    But the Democrats need to and should have inspired those voters to vote anyhow, like Obama did in 2008 and Bernie did in 2016 and 2020. Instead we got monotone Kamala Harris whose only campaign positive was Tim Walz and his policy stances imo.

    I should disclaim that I’m a leftist and criticized Kamala all the way to the general election, but still voted for her when the time came.
