Apart from every human shitstain feeling free to finally let lose on their most primitive instints, everything else is consulting the crystal ball. The obvious difference is loudmouthed bully vs intellectual political professional. The results are still open. Again, apart from primitives feeling justified in letting lose.
In any case, come Janurary, the intellegence level in the White House will drop significantly. Maybe to sub zero.
The core issue is not the contest between loud mouthed bully and anything better. The core issue is the electorate that has been so debased as to embrace a loud mouthed bully is unlikely to ever recover a standard of sophistication required to be swayed by thoughtfulness and studied balance, at least not without an a complete collapse and truly traumatic punishment from the outside.
