(53,503 posts)The impact of any president, good or bad, can last for years. We are still living with the effects of Reagan's deregulations and GW Bush's insane wars. Trump will fade away, but there will always be reminders here and there, which I suppose is a good thing. May we never forget lest we become politically apathetic.
Unwittingly, Trump revealed many societal problems that needed to be addressed, including systemic racism throughout our society and institutions. I suppose in many respects that was a good thing, though I wish we would have done that without him.
As for that "dreadful name", it really should always mean something, a reminder of how close we came to losing our democracy. It should be synonymous with American Tyrant and reviled the same as Hitler, Mussolini, and Stalin. But yes, I know what you meant and I too hope the day will come when that awful name and that horrible man has no power whatsoever.
