I wouldn’t disagree with one word of that. But we’re talking about the ideal, which is for this place to have never existed at all, vs. the real, which is what do we do with it now that we’re stuck with it? The answer is to try to fix it. #44 was a decent move in that direction.
I think many would say it is un-fixable and we should hope for its demise and/or radical reconstruction. I'm more cautious about that because the only road to demise and most roads to radical reconstruction lead through chaos, and I think chaos always favors the powerful.

I have an issue with saying he placated people with lies. Much of what he (probably) sincerely wanted to (try to) do was torpedoed by the racist wave of blacklash that happened in Congress, the judiciary, and at state levels. Say what you will abroad but domestically he was sound

The issue with that is that the most problematic person right now who thinks exactly like that is Steve “burn it all down” Bannon. It’s not a good strategy.
