Which Buchanan helped get going.

If Buchanan had actually tried he could have prevented the civil war, he didn’t. Instead he inflamed things.

I’m not saying Buchanan isn’t at all responsible for a rise in tensions that were existent up till Lincoln inauguration. I AM saying he didn’t fire the cannons at the South Carolina fort.

I do hope the EU can at least replace the United States for some time as a global leader, but even the EU must decline someday.

The EU doesn't have the military power to do so.

Never forgetti that social media platforms have been the biggest Trump enablers since 2016.

Granted some of them have improved somewhat, but the overall problem of rampant misinformation and manipulative bad actors remain.

Be right on the rest of your two points.

You were half right on your second statement because admittedly he is a scheming asshole. While I don't think in this particular instance this was some kind of scheme because I'm not taken in by the nonsensical propaganda and alarmism about it, you do have a point that he's not an especially trustworthy person.

No, Antifa are just the brownshirts. The DNC is the fascist cult, as evidenced by most of their beliefs being indistinguishable from the NSDAP, aside from who they think is pure and who they think is impure.
