Realistically, Reagan was the last president.
Yup. Poppy was the titular head of the Derp State, for God's sake. Then the Clinton '3rd Way' bs was stage-managed -- ask Evan Bayh lol he thought he was Klink's VP after he threw New Democrat Coalition behind Bubba, then thought he was Hillary's VP after he folded New Democrat Coalition to Hillary's many-headed hydra tentapuss org.
In 2000, Derp State had just.enough.neo-con flavor left to enable Cheney to dunk on Gore in SCOTUS.
The rest has been Deep State all the way, with the obvious outlier simply the Derp State lifting their almighty 6-fingered Hand off Cankles: "I knew THEY wouldn't let me win! *boohoosobdrinkdrinkdrink*".
The Derp State having figured a 3-year reset to let the economy expend the pent-up demand from US sitting on our hands through the White Hut maybe not such a terrible thing, with the plan solidly in place to unleash COVID in late 2019.
When Xiden is drooling and cannot string two words together sometime in the next year, it is 50-50 that the Derp State just goes right ahead, rips off the mask, and crowns themselves Emperor viz a soft military junta, instead of #Karamela, perhaps fully ingratiating the Old Soviet paradigm by installing the 84-year-old Colon Powerless on the heels of a limited nuclear exchange with China over Taiwan and the Phillipines.
Anyone Freeper who is breathing a 'sigh of relief', with COVID in the rear-view mirror, is fooling themselves.
