I take absolutely no comfort in the fact that such an incompetent, stupid, harmful man has been made one of the most powerful people in the world. Twice.
Edit: Don't get me wrong, if his "inevitable self-destruction" only affected himself that'd be one thing, but he's done and is going to continue to do a lot of damage. We've got dumb cunt politicians over here in Australia who think he's amazing and are trying to set up their own version of DOGE while government jobs are being destroyed daily. We've still got antivax protests flying Trump campaign flags, and I used to work security in a building with a local right-wing politician's office who had a framed Trump flag on the wall. Trump, the people controlling him and the people enabling him are doing so much damage to everything that no, it's no comfort at all.
The only thing that Trump being such an absolute dipshit has taught me is that if a competent evil arises then we're all totally fucked. Trump, Musk, et al are the least effective versions of themselves that it is possible to be. They've failed their ways into these positions of power largely by accident, they aren't even good at being evil. Replace them with someone who is, and who cares about their public image, and we'll end up with real serious trouble.
Like Putin.
. . . Oh wait!
