I have thoughts that we need things to get really bad.....

I have similar thoughts.

In fact I think that he has benefitted from many of the countermeasures that have prevented those really bad outcomes.

On domestic policy, he has been thwarted more than a few times by the courts. In his first administration, he was thwarted by some of his staff realizing he was extreme and circumventing him.

I think in many ways, he has been protected from the worst disasters by being derailed. In a different universe where he actually got his way more often in his first term, I think he would have been disgraced to the point of not being re-elected.

Not saying it was a bad thing to counteract him. Just wondering if we just prolonged the pain until he found a way to break us even worse.
