If your thesis is that Trump is awful and will be ousted, and the general public, even the MAGA crowd, will recoil at the devastation he unleashed, I suppose at least it's all mercifully quick. At this rate the US might be in a major recession this year already, with healthcare in disarray and everything else too.
Not something to relish, but I suppose better than slogging it out for years. At least he's accelerating the timeline.
Of course the alternative is that he's here to stay, in which case the accelerated timeline means more damage.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

- rich_sasha 2y agoIt works for a little bit. But it stops working very quickly once people is wallets get hit.

- matwood 2y agoBeing ousted is unlikely. It’s very hard to remove a sitting POTUS. Assuming there are midterms, that’s the first opportunity to see what the general public thinks.
- dboreham 2y agoMost people in the US don't travel and have no clue that they're living in a pretty bizarre environment. E.g. healthcare has been a s.show for decades but people just shake their heads and spin up another gofundme for their medical bills. So expecting the population to rise up may be over optimistic.
