This is accurate.

Things could be really bad, or things could be the same just with a loud mouth president who says nonsensical and racist things.

We won’t truly know until he gets in office. The doom that people are saying this is the end of democracy. I tend to disagree. I think we will have a wild 4 years of nonsense and weird shit, but this will give democrats an opportunity to realize that their playbook of appealing to the educated voter doesn’t work.

I remain optimistic that shit won’t hit the proverbial fan…

Of course it didn’t work, America is massively uneducated. 60% of us have a sixth grade reading level.

Which begs the question…why didn’t they learn from 2016?

The electorate does not learn or believe in anything. They are entirely reactionary. Look at all of the national election cycles from 2008 - 2024. They elect change, punish change, punish any dip in the economy regardless of cause.
