I wonder if somebody is keeping a database of all the crap we will have to put back

After Trump and his regime are ousted. Things ranging from major rehauling of the institutions he trashed or killed all the way to smaller but significant things like removing signs about slavery or the settlers massacring the native americans (Just saw a post about a national park pulling signs down regarding this).

I know there is a website that lists all of his executive actions. Hopefully, there is a liberal think tank compiling all the other information to produce documents and summaries for the next Democratic administration to use and start fixing things and making people accountable.

Like the consequences of these orders. Putting signs back, restoring the exhibits at the museums (where the Trump admin is starting to remove things related to civil rights, slavery etc...), rebuilding institutions he obliterated (like usaid), etc..

Because dealing with the post Trump Era will be hard and people have short attention spans.

This is why I hope Trump reaps what he sows this time. The shit from Trump 1 didn't really hit until 2022. Meanwhile Trump got to inherit the wonderful Obama economy. An economy that got Trump elected twice.

5. But if Trump "reaps what he sows" what does that do to everyone else?

If by "reaps what he sows" you mean the economy goes to shit - that hurts an awful lot of people.

If those who are surviving the shit economy are donating their available spare cash to food banks, that's less to donate to Democratic campaigns.

I hope there is another solution. Unfortunately I don't see it yet either.

The next Democratic president will need to wait until his second term to undo some of the damage Trump has caused for obvious political reasons.

7. We actually have a very rare opportunity to rebuild things *better* than they were before, rather than "going back."
