These problems all existed as fringe coalitions before Trump came along. He just brought them to the forefront of the GOP platform because they were convenient for him and his cult instantly assimilated them.
Yeah, OP is simply ignorant. Jenny McCarthy posts are strewn through the comments, and here’s a bunch of democratic leaders talking about election results:

Trump definitely made everything more extreme, though.
Republicans stole the election in 2000, they are just dialing it up.
The problems with vaccines started with andrew wakefield. Republicans have been pushing for voter ID laws for decades.
none of this started with trump.
Yeah
2012:
2024:
95% of Republicans for voter ID hasn’t changed before/after Trump
Why are democrats not as supportive of ID laws? I would assume it’s obvious you need an ID to vote, or am I missing something here?
In general, if we have universal ID’s, then it makes sense… There are a segment of the poor that just don’t have ID, and it currently adversely affects one party more than the other.
Once you require ID, then republicans start adding roadblocks and requirements that make it tougher for classes of people.
On top of all that, it is an attempt to solve a problem that doesn’t exist. Non-citizens are not attempting to vote.
IDs can be full of stupid bureaucracy to get. Eg if you are homeless, how will you get 2 pieces of mail with a home address? And in some places, IDs cost $50 or more. IDs are not the only way to identify someone - if you forget your ID before flying, there are alternative ways to identify you. The DMV has long wait times and IDs are often mailed to people, the delay could impact voting if done shortly before election day. And disabled people may not be able to wait in line at the DMV. The DMV has limited hours as well.
It’s more important to protect someone’s right to vote than to enforce an arbitrary ID rule.
The US as a country is carefully designed to not function properly. The federal government doesn’t issue IDs, so it’s up to the states (why even have a government if states have so much power? Nonsense.). State IDs aren’t always free, so instead of campaigning for that, Democrats instead claim that voter ID laws are racist.
Those were backed and funded by the Kremlin.
As was Trump.

do you have any evidence that andrew wakedield’s 1998 paper, in the lancet, was backed and funded by the kremlin? That doesn’t seem to be in any of the contemporary reporting on the paper?
blaming russia without evidence for all things is the one thing that did start during trump’s campaign.
I like how the diapers are on the outside
why tf you think putin bought him?
