> "President rootusrootus spent the entirety of his term in office attempting unsuccessfully to undo the legacy of the previous occupant." is not exactly what I would be going for. Tearing down a legacy is not the same as building one. That assumes the previous occupant had a legacy worth preserving. The real underlying problem is that a lot of people honestly believe the previous occupant's legacy needed to be torn down.

It’s not about rational, every president disagrees with the previous one to some degree. I mean the point of the political system is to make changes they believe in. However, the world is a chaotic place so no president can actually remove the legacy of the previous one. Revert all policies on day one, and the next president reverts all yours in an endless cycle that’s not a legacy. The actual legacy is the impact of your choices.

They didn't though. Just recall during the Healthcare repeal debacle, the very same voting base was foaming at the mouth against Obamacare while complaining about the threat against the Affordable Care Act.
