learn their lesson. I remember thinking after '08 people learned their lesson after George W Bush almost put us through another great depression. I actually believed at that time we would go on a run like we had during the 1930's and 40's where there was no republican president for 20 years due to the generational trauma inflicted from the pain of the Great Depression. What this country has proven to me with electing Trump twice is they love trauma and pain and still believe ultimately their hatred will prevail of having a society that regresses back to a Jim Crow type of society.
