I was a full grown adult in 16 and I can confirm that it was not at all the same. 16 was “oh wow, this is really stupid and is going to take a lot of fixing”. 26 is "oh wow, this is absurdly evil and will take a lifetime to fix, if ever.
2016 was testing the waters to see what he could get away with, 2026 is an insane bigot that has been told that he has no rules.
2016 had him surrounded by people who could stop or at least delay his dumb ideas until he forgot about them. He then spent the next several years being courted by white nationalists, grifters, and sycophants who not only don’t resist his blatantly illegal orders, but are the ones pushing for them behind the curtain.

I was a full grown adult by 1990…been a prepper since they called us survivalists.
This is the worst I’ve seen our society. Things are far worse now than 2016.
I could see this coming in 2016, but it hadn’t arrived yet.
