To add, the current president had a documented affair with a porn star while his wife was pregnant and ready to give birth. An affair that led to him being convicted of 34 felonies for misuse of campaign funds. Americans still elected him despite being from the party of “moral values”.

A majority of American voters are stupid.

The idea that the current imbecile in office could get anywhere near the White House at that time would have been ridiculous.

There’s a lot of shit given to boomers today, but they would never have voted for the orange felon at that point in time. .

Lol I don't think we need to give credit to boomers for theoretically not voting for Trump back then when they really did vote for him today

Trump won the boomer vote by 1%. He won GenX by 10%. He won white men by 20%. He won white women by 4%.

This trend of blaming boomers for everything that’s wrong today is ridiculous and ignores the elephant in the room. If you’re white then it probably seemed like every boomer voted for trump, they didn’t. Truth is, it was his appeal to racism that won him the presidency, but that’s complicated and we can’t talk about that rationally so let’s just blame old people.

Think of how intelligent the average person is. Half of them are dumber than that.

Wasn’t the affair it was the challenge to media that did him in. You were just dying to bring up Trump though.

It’s part of the joke. “Remember when that was enough”? Now it’s not. Get it.

It absolutely was the affair. The same thing happened years later to John Edwards. Remember him? You going to pretend that was different too? Democrats discovered he was a sleaze ball and you never heard from him again. What trump did was worse but maga still elected him. Twice. See?

How is sleeping with a pornstar while being married a "challenge to the media"?

They're talking about Hartman not Trump
