Remember 2020? We Should!

Larry Payne


Take the dare to remember what American life was like in the last weeks of Trump’s presidency? Here are the facts of history:


Four million Covid cases occur in one month, the highest in the advanced countries, bringing the total American deaths in the year to a staggering 300,000. Trump had push horse medicine as a cure, opposed masking, attacked the CDC, and downplayed the vaccines, thereby increasing the death toll.


Unemployment hit 6.7%, with almost 11 million people out of work.


Trump and team filed dozens of frivolous lawsuits to contest the 2020 election (later some of his attorneys would be disbarred for the ethics violations), enlist slates of false electors to override the vote of the people in several states, implement an unconstitutional scheme using Congress to seat the false electors, pressure V-P Pence to act so Trump would be falsely declare the winner of the Electoral College. His actions would bring a second impeachment trial for the first time in American history.


Trump, Bannon, Stone and others worked to mobilize a large demonstration in Washington on January 6, calling on supporters because “All hell is going to break loose.” The riot brought death and destruction to the Capitol and more than 1,000 convictions for the rioters and insurrectionists.


Trump led a coalition to dismantle the Affordable Care Act in a Supreme Court trial, removing medical insurance from millions of Americans. The suit lost in 2021.


Michael Cohen and AMI awaited sentencing after admitting guilt in the 2016 election law fraud concerning Trump paying hundreds of thousands in hush money to Stormy Daniels and AMI to kill a story of Trump’s affair with the porn star while his wife is pregnant.


Trump supported aggressive police action against “Black Lives Matter” protesters in multiple cities after the murder of George Floyd. Nearly 5000 Neo-Nazi inspired hate episodes were recorded for the year.


Climate change denials led by Republicans hindered global efforts to implement the Paris Climate goals after Trump pulled the US out of the agreement. World temperatures and climate-enhanced disasters struck America causing billions of dollars in losses


Trump acted against military guidance and reduced US troops in Afghanistan, emboldening the Taliban to increase attacks. He weakened Ukraine in the face of Russian threats, paving the way for Putin's invasion.


The last thing America needs is a return of this incompetent and deceitful leadership. WE WON’T GO BACK!
