He had what you might call MAGA energy back then. Constantly fear mongering about crime.
Here, I’ll take some of your downvotes - if being “tough on crime” gives you MAGA energy (and I agree, it does), then what energy does that mean ex-prosecutor, “top cop” Harris has?
The answer is, it doesn’t matter, she is a liberal icon - a Black girl boss (so that’s racism and sexism solved! /s)(E: representation is really important, but if she doesn’t represent the interests of those like her, is it really a good representation?), a democrat (making her the antifasciest of antifascists, don’t you know), and maintainer of the status quo (all libs really care about, they find comfort in the system and want it to continue as it is).
Sure, She’s-Not-Trump™, but that doesn’t make her (or anyone the right leaning democratic party would put up) actually good for you, it just means that those in charge get one of their own in, whoever wins.
And that is the point of the two party system. Shame people are so desperate for a feeling of belonging and community (a feature, not a bug) that they substitute that with uncritical support of team red or team blue, when in reality they should be for “team citizen”, which neither party is.
