He needs to be remembered like Pol Pot and Hitler. Never forget and never again.

I think history will remember him more like Nixon... or at lest that's my best guess.
Trump makes Nixon look like Lincoln by comparison.

I feel I must defer to Dr. Octopus concerning anything to do with DO's...

No, he wants to be loved. It's why he is so desperate to erect monuments while he's alive- because he knows no one will do so after he's dead.
No. Nixon was a model of perfection compared to Trump 2.0

No. Nixon was the very model of a modern major-general compared to Trump 2.0.

I'm not saying they are comparable, I'm just guessing the rift in US political culture will lead to a softer "memory" of him than he deserves. MAGA will still revere him, and the rest of us will just want to move on and forget about him.
At least in the short run... maybe further down the road when there is less emotions involved on both sides the review of him will be more factual less an emotional divide.

I've heard it said several times that if you did a Venn Diagram of State fans and MAGAs that it would be a single circle. The burning resentment and inferiority complex are almost exactly the same. The insane obsession that Pack Pride displayed in trying to bring down our entire athletic program during our NCAA troubles is practically the same as what we're seeing now with MAGAs trying to bring down the hated liberal "elites".
I see the intuitive logic but I don’t think it works that way in real life. Maybe if you limit it to non-grad fans.
Wake County, which is the heart of State fandom, voted 62-36 for Kamala. And we know that college graduates skew away from MAGA.
I suspect the MAGA support among State fans is probably lower than the average NC voter.
Yeah, there'd be the narrow end of an egg on the left.

I do not disagree or intend to denigrate DO docs. My dad had a DO as his primary care physician and she was an excellent primary care physician.
I doubt anyone here is interested in the difference between an MD and Do but this spells out the difference for those who are curious.

My long time PCP is no longer at the clinic, so for my August annual wellness visit my choices were either a DO or a Nurse Practitioner. There are other MDs at this clinic, but none are accepting new patients.

Nixon + Harding on steroids.
Nixon at least had a mind for leveraging foreign policy (good and bad). Placing a wedge between China and the Soviets was one of the long-term keys towards an eventual resolution of the Cold War...even though remnants - e.g., Putin remain problematic.
In my experience the best of the DOs and NPs make for much better pcps than mediocre to average MDs. I would just be wary of DOs in specialities.

I agree. A DO is pretty much the same as an MD. A chiropractor is NOT a DO. I had an uncle who was a chiropractor. Every time he attended family outings, my mother would warn me not to make fun of him or even talk to him about his profession. So, I never did. Oh, forgot to mention, in addition to being a chiropractor, he was also a BSC, right-wing, racist nut job. Not a real good combination of attributes for him to be taken seriously by me. For example, once (pre-1968) I heard him hold forth for about 45 minutes on the topic of how Martin Luther King, Jr. was trained in Moscow and was a Soviet agent trying to undermine the foundational pillars of American society. My Dad, a liberal his entire life and a charter member of my hometown's chapter of the NAACP, just sat through his brother-in-law's lunatic screeds and never attempted to engage him. It was about this particular uncle that I first heard the expression about why it was a bad idea to try to wrestle a pig. All this is to say, I cannot give any sort of opinion on chiropractors because my thoughts on the matter are so influenced by the kind of person my uncle was.
