Even if the Dems had won that election, history has shown they they would not have made any real.changes.

THREE Supreme Court justices would have been very different today. Thats going two have repercussions for the next 3 generations.

Fair point.

I guess the bigger point I was trying to make is that someone like Trump would have happened regardless of what happened in 2016. Maybe not him specifically, but this has been the work of right wing propaganda machines for 30+ years. If not in 2016, then 2020, and if not then 2024, etc.

The fractures in American society are so deep that I cannot see any real unity in that country ever again.

I agree with that.

There were even those that didn't support his "policies" when he ran, but wanted to "burn it all down" and get him elected to shake up the system. I surely hope those that did so under that reason regret the impact.
