But to give Trump zero credit for making take a bad situation and making it worse is flat out bullsh-t.

Okay maybe that's my bad and I didn't understand what point of the post people were mad at exactly. Because those are fair criticisms for sure.
Trump for sure made the situation worse, and getting him out of office is a big victory.
My point was more that IMO Trump was the symptom of years of issues with U.S. politics, and this victory was the first step, but now IMO the real battle in the U.S. begins. The need for meaningful change in terms of voting rights, electoral process....hell general human rights in some cases, needs to be a priority for the next 4 years.
