This is the real, "I don't spend all my life on internet forums" answer.

Most of this really is just optics. Even with the first Trump presidency, my life did not meaningfully change aside from having to hear about him nonstop.

It's when people's regular lives start to change for the worse that we'll start to see them fighting back against someone like Trump. Like it or not, most of what Trump does is affecting people other than Americans.

People don't go outside, this is why things like setting a bar for "oh shit oh fuck" is important, a litmus test if you will.
