      The title is a statement and it’s quite possibly the dumbest thing I’ve read in years, and that’s coming after two terms of W. Bush and one term of Trump, so that’s saying something.

        I get where you’re coming from, but throwing around terms like “dumb” doesn’t really help the discussion. It also seems there’s a bit of exaggeration going on.

        How about we zoom in on the specific points we disagree on and have a more balanced conversation?

          The exaggeration is in the premise. “Darkest chapter in history.”

          No, no it fucking isn’t. There’s nothing to discuss there. It’s not even the darkest chapter this century, much less “in history”.

          9/11 when there was a real possibility we were going to nuke someone by the end of the day was darker.

          The 2008 financial crisis when people sincerely though their financial futures just evaporated before their eyes was darker.

          Sure.

          It’s incredibly dumb to say that Biden’s presidency is the darkest chapter in history when contrasted against:

          (insert bullet points)

          Each zoomed in bullet point in isolation is so mind-bogglingly dumb that it’s hard to see how any of this got published in an official periodical at all. Which bullet point were you arguing was less dark than Biden’s presidency specifically?
