I had a ~~dream~~ nightmare last night where Trump was leading in the polls. I can’t believe I dream about polls. WTF is happening to me?

Yeah well Washington didn’t have any biological children, so what does he know? /s

John Kelly’s point about Washington going home highlights the essential truth: true leaders know when to step back. Unlike Trump, who clings to power, Washington understood that democracy thrives when leaders relinquish control, ensuring freedom remains with the people.

And that’s what GOP wants because it’s been taken over by confederate traitors

It must be nice, to have Washington on your side.

Borders and citizenship were extremely important to Washington. He also did not believe that the younger generation should be left with the debts of the older generation

The legacy of the man who “cannot tell a lie” will be ended by a man who cannot tell the truth. That’s pretty sad.

I have no doubt in my mind that the Founding Fathers would be liberal Democrats today. People love pointing to them as conservative icons for whatever reason

Let’s be honest: that vision ended a while back.

Whelp, that explains the downfall we’ve all had.

George Washington, the President who violated his oath of office by using the power of the Presidency to pressure government workers to track down his wife’s favorite runaway slave?

Cmon America, let’s not fuck this one up, eh?

Reelecting Trump would totally undermine what Washington hoped for in a president and the country. It’s like turning back the clock on democracy itself.

I dislike Trump as much as the next guy but this is a weak sauce take. Grover Cleveland came back for another term. Not saying it’s right but this precedent has already been broken. Btw, Washington got involved in politics after he left, his reputation is preserved because he didn’t live long enough to become the villain. Teddy Roosevelt also came back, and it did seriously harm his reputation after running again and handing Wilson the presidency.

I’ll be honest, I’m getting beyond sick of these types of posts. I hate Trump as much as the next person on Reddit but these posts really do get mentally exhausting. We all know this. This isn’t new.

Are we forgetting his first term? Washington is already very upset I assure you.

If Trump/Vance get elected, Trump will be out asap and we’d be looking at a Vance/Johnson presidency.
It’s difficult to even imagine what that would look like as 6 months ago Vance’s positions were opposite what he claims they are now.
– Removing women’s right to vote
– Revoking any LGBTQ rights and branding them criminals
– End of Interracial marriage
– Federal Abortion Ban
– Religion taught in schools
Basically we are looking to be subjugated under Christian Sharia in six months or so.

The wet dream of Putin, Xi, Iran, North Korea and so many other dictators.
