These last few generations have become softer than baby [BLEEP]. Do I think he's the best candidate ever? No. Do I think he's the best candidate from this cesspool from both parties? Absolutely.

I never voted for him though. He will get my vote next year if he runs though. I am tired of the lunacy. I am tired of the rhetoric from the "left". Both parties need massive overhauls and they need to dig deep to find candidates worthy of being President. Trump is going to win this because he can use Covid as a scapegoat and point to Biden's blatant mistakes he's made since his departure from office.

If he can fix inflation and somewhat normalize the geopolitical arena? He's worth the vote. Biden had no business being in office to begin with though.

I see sentences, but I'm not getting any coherent thoughts.
When were we not softer than baby [BLEEP]?
What type of rhetoric did Presidents use in those days?  Was it more like Trump's rhetoric or more like Biden's?
Obviously it was more like Biden's.   No other President has had rhetoric like Trump. But is that relevant?
No. The hardening and softening of our psyche has nothing to do with the argument style of our political leaders.  It has everything to do with the difficulties we are facing and have recently faced.  If you want us to harden up, you are asking for hard times.  Yet you contradict yourself.  You hope Trump can lower inflation and reduce the chances of war.  Those are good things to hope for, but we will only get softer if we get these things.
