This is the dumbest thing i have ever seen. Trump did fail. Just because the ball is on the 1 yard line doesnt mean you get that game winning point. Him and those around him did not have the stomach to do what was needed. Its that simple. Now worse atrocities will happen without a leader to the civil war that is coming. I thank him for showing us 4 years of government actually being forced to bend to the will of the people but he said himself its bigger than him as his out from being blamed for starting a civil war.

It has been proven many times in the past year alone that we're far too complacent. We sit back and hope police grab the looter, hope the judges rule in favor of the federal law and hope Trump fights every battle because we lack the courage to do ourselves. We sat back as they passed unconstitutional election laws, as did nearly every congress member we voted for. The point is, had he taken the ultimatum route, we'd become dependent on daddy to take any action. Read my other comment, the corruption we're fighting doesn't go away if we win the election, they'll be there waiting long after Trump is gone and among us for as long as we allow them. In either scenario, the people have yet to learn to stand up for themselves. One win means nothing, as hard as that is to accept.

For someone who has the commander rank in his name you do not understand leadership at all. It is not about having someone do the fighting its have a leader to say now all together lets do this and in this manner. Was lincoln just supposed to not call men to arms and move troops and fire leaders who were incompetent? Was washington supposed to just let the civilians of the colonies rise up on their own? How about napolean, was he supposed to just let france tear itself apart? Leaders are needed otherwise there is chaos. 3% of men in the colonies created america so quit this "muh popular uprising" bs. There is no lack of courage there is lack of leadership because the one person who we sloted for the role knowing this was it stopped and benched himself at the one yard line.

You fail to consider 2 things:

  1. In their era they didn't have the technology we do, a revolution in their era is far different from one today.

  2. Foreign actors are persistently trying to spark this revolution in the hopes that we fight one another to the death.

You're stuck playing simple games with a simple mentality when the proper solution is to solve many compounding issues individually. We don't have to cross the finish line and we can pack up and go home, that's foolishness. If only it were that easy.
