His legacy will be that of a cautionary tale on how not to be the most embarrassing footnote in American history.

His grave should be the only location where public defecation is legalized.

You mean "defecation" right

Yep, and that was my 2nd autocorrection. The first one had it as dedication. I really need to stop trusting it has my back.

If only.

Should America one day go back to something resembling a functioning democracy, his legacy will be "who could have seen it coming" "no-one I know voted for him" "voter fraud" "we were too afraid" "at least the trains ran on time" "it was China/Russia's fault". I've heard most of those already.

Variations on all these lies and more were peddled by the Germans after the war and believed by the world. Even by American judges right after WWII who acquitted the overwhelming majority of Nazi War Criminals tried at Nuremberg despite mountains of evidence.

Anything but a society, culture, and individuals holding themselves accountable for easily predictable and predicted failures to govern.
