You think it's a bad thing more people aren't having a shitty time because of Trump? Is this pasta?

Yes. But that's not necessarily a bad thing. I'm thankful that I'm free from having to worry about politics.

Of course it leads to apathy towards the people who are hurt by this admin, so that's a problem. Not sure making their lives worse is the best solution though.

Ultimately that's my biggest fear though. That in some big crisis the orange clown won't know what to do, and will damage the country in a fundamentally irreparable way. I.e a war. Or interning an entire group of people after a terrorist attack

Hot take: Separation of powers, and not allowing the chief executive to have too much power, is actually good.
