America is doing terrible things at home and abroad, but that isn’t enough for the tankies. They need us to have always been like this.

We haven’t. This is the first time we’ve had a president that wasn’t at least trying to do the right thing by his people, no matter how misguided.

I see. I agree that Trump is different to the ones that came before (except Andrew Jackson) , and I agree that the tankies are trying to claim it's been like this, but this kind of shit has been pretty common in US history. And so has the opposite. Sometimes administrations are tainted by the populus or take wrong turns in otherwise good administrations, but there's usually some bullshit somewhere. Even people like FDR have things they fucked up.
