It's also why Trump is president-elect currently. People are stupid and are forgetting just how bad things can be.

They forgot about 4 years ago.

I doubt this will compare to four years ago. It's going to be much worse.

I'm hoping he keels over in the next month and we get President Vance. I know three things about him.

He's really condescending towards people who didn't "escape" rural areas (from his book).
He's close with Peter Thiel.
He doesn't believe anything political he says. He previously said Trump is a dictator. He says what he needs to say to gain power.

There's a non-zero chance that he's full of shit, and then turns out to be a great president. Either way, an unknown quantity is better than the one we're about to get. Hopefully it happens before the appointments, since the appointments can't be worse. Trump is what, 78?
