Everyone should just hear me out on this before you start overreacting or dogpiling on me to what I'm about to tell you. As much as it pains me to say this, Trump being elected in 2016 may have been the best outcome over Hillary being elected. And here's why, & this had never hit me until now:
If Trump were to lose to Hillary Clinton back in 2016, she would've most likely be an ineffective president & would most likely be a lame duck throughout her entire term as Republicans control both the House & the Senate, & Hillary would be getting blamed for "not doing enough". People would've been too relaxed, no one would vote, & Republicans would still have control of the House & Senate.
Worst of all; The COVID-19 Pandemic itself. No matter how hard Hillary would try, she would immediately get blamed for even one death from COVID, Republicans would have a big talking point over it & would start running ads about how Hillary had let people die from COVID, including Trump who decides to run for President in 2020. November 2020 election happens, Hillary loses re-election to Trump, Trump becomes president, & instead of correctly dealing with the pandemic for a year, this country would be dealing with it for four more straight years because Trump will fuck everything up like he did during his fourth year as President in response to the pandemic, such as him disbanding the Directorate of Global Health Security & Biodefense. He would've gotten rid of Obama's Pandemic response team, we would have less to no vaccines, etc., & we would be having a lot more than something like 30K+ deaths, or more than 475K+ deaths from COVID that we're already experiencing right now. We would possibly be having millions.
Now that's a very, terrifying thought. Not only that, Trump would've turned America upside down just like he did from 2017 to early 2021, except a lot worse.
