As it has been nearly a year since I last posted this here, and we have a lot of updates, I’ve decided to post this list again for those who are having a difficult time keeping track. Especially since the US has now started a war without even an AUMF before the editors have even had time to put up December’s update, I think it prudent to keep this at the forefront of our minds.
Edit: note that this is only for his second term. There is a link to the ORIGINAL “Lest We Forget The Horrors” at the top of the unending catalogue here, and that includes trump’s first term. I personally recommend downloading both as PDFs, since then they still exist if some fascist decides that this satire website is too zealously exercising first amendment rights and needs to be shut down.
It takes 6 months to run a primary, they had 107 days.
Now, we could argue Biden should have bowed out sooner, which he absolutely should have, but it wasn’t obvious to everyone until that shit show of a debate.
Even then, the debate was June 27, 2024 and he didn’t quit the race until July 21, 25 days later.
It was obvious to Biden himself during his first run. One of the promises he made in 2020 was that he wouldn’t run for a second term. He should have held to his word, and had a primary.
If Trump hadn’t run, Biden wouldn’t have either. He said multiple times he was the only one who could beat Trump, in fact, he was saying that as recently as after the election.

They had four years to figure out what to do with Biden.
No no, planning ahead is bad. Especially when you promise to be a one term president and then turn your back on it. Like with codifying Roe v Wade. Or student loans. Or monthly payments to help with COVID. Or…
@UnspecificGravity Maybe you all could’ve just voted against the Nazis even if you weren’t super-duper happy with the alternative, huh?
The people who voted for Trump wanted Nazis and would have voted for him no matter who was opposing the ballot. If the Democrats cared to beat him they would have run a candidate that made people want to show up.
The Democrats made the same stupid mistake that you are making. They thought the trick was to get a candidate so bad that it might trick Republicans into voting for them.
@UnspecificGravity Having to “want” to show up to vote against Nazis is the most pathetic narcissistic consumer-brained crap. You know that, right?
This is not a good look for you. To say that you have to be sufficiently bribed to stop Hitler: The Sequel.
And if you try to sputter that actually you voted for Harris, I won’t believe you.
Yes, pointing out that the Democrats did a shitty job of fighting Trump must mean I didn’t vote. You are a fucking moron.
@UnspecificGravity “the Democrats did a shitty job of fighting Trump”
Ever notice how it’s only white people who ever say this? The same voters who failed the world’s easiest open book test, because they were pissed about the cost of burrito taxis, or Liz Cheney, or Biden not ending the war in Afghanistan when he was vice president under Obama, or whatever other horseshit the Internet convinced them was so much more important than stopping Nazis?
I have!

Why be logical and sane when you can repeat talking points by the rich in blue flavor?
And now he’s moved onto me, how wonderful.
@UnspecificGravity It’s okay. I wasn’t expecting real, substantial ideas from one of you folks who only seem to exist to make unhappy noises about Democrats. The past five years have shown you all to be as two-dimensional as your Trump-supporting parents.
