There are so many more Presidents worse than Trump that we simply never had to live through. Imagine your capital being burned to the fucking ground because your President decided to launch an ill-conceived invasion of Canada. Imagine being so unpopular a President that you come in third place as the incumbent. Imagine kicking off the “Spanish” Flu because you simply couldn’t resist playing the Great Game of European Powers at the tail end of the First World War.
Absent a second term to really crank things up a notch, Trump will go down in history as an embarrassment. But he’ll be lucky to break the Top 5 in terms of serious bad shit.
Who exactly ousted who? Trump lost, he wasn’t ousted by anybody.
Anyways, pretty much every republican president since nixon has tried to end democracy, that’s kind of the goal of the republican party you know, the one that isn’t called the democratic party? At least Trump didn’t invade native lands and kill innocent women and children on more than one occasion, or literally duel to the death with children. Trump is a terrible president but he doesn’t come close to the worst.
And Polk and Buchanan and Hoover and Nixon.

Imagine the President trying to overthrow democracy.
We don’t have to imagine that because we did live through that. Sure other Presidents fucked up plenty, but only one tried to end democracy.
That is simply just not the case at all
I’m not up to speed on US history, which other US Presidents tried to prevent the certification of the election of the President who ousted them?

… that’s what being ousted is. An encumbant losing an election has been ousted, as in forced out of a role, yes by an election loss.
