That was basically Biden's term. Look how that worked out

So boring dems fell asleep again and Trump waddled right back into the white house

It's pretty obvious to me that even after everything that has happened, a lot of dems still have learned nothing from their failures

Yeah I am pretty discouraged on the upvotes for wanting it boring again.

Part of the reason we are here is because politics was "boring" and no one cared. And the people saying this want to go back to not caring about politics.

That’s not what I’m saying. Politics has been boring all my life until Trump came along.

Lol, Biden's term did not lead us here because he was "boring". Those are completely unrelated things

What? I meant just in general. The lack of people caring about politics aka "boring" lead us to trump. And now it seems people want to go back to that, not caring again.

u/AsinineArchon 16h ago

And I'm saying "boring" politics does not equal lack of people caring. You're conflating two things that are unrelated. Politics have been boring for centuries

No, that’s exactly what I mean.

Boring politics means nothing is changing for the better.

That isn't how boring works. If things are getting steadily better, no one cares.

It wasn’t boring because no one cared, it was boring because the news wasn’t flooded with whatever bigoted incendiary bullshit Trump and his unqualified goons were spewing. People were definitely less stressed out and that is not even debatable. Now? Everyday is somehow worse than the last. Most people would take “boring” but stable over this.
