One thing I differ with him on is calling Trump "president". I think that when you screw up a big part of changing your behavior so that you don't keep screwing up is to admit your mistakes.
Sure, Trump was not elected by a majority of the voters, one third couldn't even be bothered to vote. And sure, the only reason Trump was able to get more votes than Harris was because of Republicans' campaigns of disenfranchisement and gerrymandering.
But our country still screwed up. Monumentally. We didn't even choose a competent, intelligent, and engaged Strong Leader. We chose a bargain-basement buffoon, a callous kkklown, an ally of authoritarians.
A kkkartoon kkkarachter like Trump should not have been able to get more than ten percent of the vote. I think that the US must own our mistake. History will not forget that Trump was our president, history should also remember that we admitted our shame and worked hard to set it right.
