Hexbearians tends to forget all the white nationalists and right wing militias that were super active during Trump. Thats what was really scary about him. Every racist in american was suddenly emboldened and felt entitled to do violence. Maybe their a spent force. Maybe the FBI really did tamp it all back down. But I'm not eager to see a sober alt-right reprisal that learned some lessons.
That said I'm not to concerned about Trump himself in the oval office. The worst things he did were do what any normal republican would do. Frankly he might've handled the Israeli genocide better. I dont think he'd hesitate to pull Bibi's leash and say "this is bad for business". Bibi would probably thank him and ask for him to yank harder next time.
We really just need one of these parties to complexly collapse.
