I think the stakes are much higher now since in 2016 we didn't know he'd be this bad.
My biggest concern with Trump (as a non-American) was that he'd incompetently bumble his way into starting WW3.
So I guess from that perspective, as terrible as he's been - and I'm in no way diminishing how bad he's been - we've avoided (so far....) the worst-case scenario I thought he'd cause.
