Oh I was old enough, I didn't follow the election that time that closely, as IMO it wasn't that important as the last 3 (and I wasn't that political either) Though something like the Project 2025 were just not existing that time, and while Trump maybe always a crazy person, that all of this is that socially acceptable (conspiracies, lies across all dimensions) is a concerning trend (towards fascism, as Hitler etc. used similar rhetoric).

Maybe in hindsight it’s hard to make a comparisons, but every election since then has represented the same choice between ‘sane’ democrats and ‘crazy’ conservatives.

Right, as I said, I don't promote what the policy of the democrats is, I'm just concerned what the alternative looks like...
