This is cope, and to a dangerously naïve extent. He killed hundreds of thousands of Americans in 2020 through sheer negligence alone. He had political dissenters black bagged by masked enforcers into unmarked vans during the BLM protests.

This time around, his party has consolidated around him and he has promised mass deportations that are logistically unviable and will require widespread use of violence to be actioned. He's promised extreme tariffs that will cause millions more to be unable to afford housing, sustenance or medical attention. He's called for a really bad day of violence. This means Kristallnacht again.

Even if he does end up being too lazy to follow through on any of his promises, a hope we really ought not to rely on, the fascist movement he's built up around him will control all three branches of government and be able to do as they please. The deaths that'll be caused by the environmental damage alone will be untold, and this is to say nothing of the effects that this government will have abroad.
