2020 was not a "close election." The Dems received millions more votes.
Trump did not do anything "good" for our foreign policy. He tried to destroy NATO, started a trade war that left our farmers in the lurch, did not bring the industries back that he promised, sold out the Palestinians, left the Kurds on the battlefield, sucked up to the Saudi murderous prince, freed N.Korean dictator, KIM from our watchful eye, and set the tone for dictators around the world to be as evil as they want to be to their own people.

Thank you for your former military service, thank you for participating in the J6 Hearings. But no thanks for your enabling a monster to continue for so long at the reins of power of our government. The damage to our democracy far exceeds the potential remedies that might come from the J6 hearings.
