Biden hasnt done revenge. Trump does. Biden is on his way out. Trump on his way in. Biden follows rules and norms. Trump doesnt give a shit about that, only what power will allow.

Any politician with an ounce of brains can figure what the future may hold. And with all due respect, the republicans want it, and many of the dems lack conviction. When things start to go poorly, there will be a split in our party, between the ones that break for the new order out of self preservation and those that find inner conviction despite the likely personal costs.
