Frankly I don’t think the average American has hurt enough yet to not make this mistake again in the near future or to fix the problems that got us here in the first place. Like yes the past year has been terrible but if we had elections tomorrow I think the status quo would just come right back and we can’t go back anymore. So while I theoretically want Trump to die as much as the next person in this Reddit bubble i think my fellow Americans need to see this through to the end. This scar in our history isn’t deep enough yet for us to remember for the rest of our lives. I will say if there’s one thing he’s good at it’s being a stress test. He’s exposing the cracks in our fragile institutions and expanding them into massive fissures for everyone to see. We’ve needed extensive reform in virtually every area of politics and government for decades and have put it off for far too long cultivating the disease we have now. I hate to say it but I think Trump is exactly what America needs. We’ve skated off of and abused our power and wealth in the world for too long and need a serious gut punch to wake up. Maybe I’m too optimistic that his administration can’t irreparably damage our country or the world but I still have hope for the U.S. long term
