      Absolutely, but that’s not really comparable to the current situation. The US is far from well run and has a ton of problems that need fixing ASAP. While Trump will absolutely no question make things significantly worse, the Democrats message of “this is fine” did not in any way resonate with voters. It very much had the feel of “Some of you may die, but that’s a sacrifice I’m willing to make”.
