This:
What's very depressing is we went through this exact shit 16 years ago, narrowly "electing" GW Bush and seeing his dimwitted extremist right-wing agenda push things backwards and result in multiple disasters (9/11, Iraq war, Katrina-FEMA mishandling, financial crash). He left office finally, thankfully gracefully, just 8 years ago, with a terrible approval rating, and new hope with Obama elected. And another 8 years and things are not great, the GOP did NOTHING to help at all, but still things are looking up in many ways. So WHY do people want to re-live the Bush years and go through painful years of disaster and moving backwards, when it is so predictable??? It's so freaking tedious and frustrating to have people forget this history that isn't even that old. I really don't know how the GOP always manages to wipe their voter's memories clean every cycle... unless maybe they had no memory in the first place. And Trump will surely be the GWB administration on steroids and maybe even LSD, and if things don't go completely to hell in the next 4-8 years, we get to start the cycle all over. Yay!
