Literally the only criticism I have of Trump's first term is he didn't federally decriminalize marijuana. I understand that he probably didn't want to distance himself from his more conservative voters (not that it mattered in the end), but still.
If he had gotten a second term, I believe that he would have done it without the fear of reelection looming.
I lost a long standing ten dollar bet with my sister in law about this. I swore he'd legalize it right before this past election to push his approval to an absurd high.
Can't believe he didn't utilize this mega-boost.
But here we are. Let the Dems do the inevitable and take all the credit for it, why not. Fuck.
He pandered too much to the traditional conservatives instead of focusing on the independents and libertarians. The highly religious conservatives would have voted straight republican anyway, certainly not democrat. He fucked up.
When I was completing my masters at a somewhat conservative college, I saw much evidence to confirm this statement. Many libertarian students (considerable faction o students) sat out this election and said they would have voted for Trump if he legalized weed and pardoned Assange. The anti-gun shit he did didn't help convince them either.
