in easily imaginable alternate timeline, Trump's supporters wage civil war attempting to gain power. who knows whether they would have won like they did democratically in this timeline, but it definitely would have been bloody. perhaps bleeding from radiation poisoning: perhaps everyone loses.
compared to that, we live in a pretty good timeline, as unfortunate as it is. democracy permits (relatively) bloodless revolutions / rebellions / insurrections / uprisings. democracy is the worst form of government, except for all the others.
how could we have avoided both civil war and the destructiveness of Trump's regime? the biggest destruction has been loss of trust in government, which will take centuries to restore.
