No.

2016 = MAGA/Trump does incompetence and stupidity

2026 = MAGA/Trump does unprecedented corruption, calculated evil, and inescapable damage.

I was very much so an adult in 2016.

2016 still sucked. But for me it sucked in "god this is stupid, I'm so glad it's temporary" kind of way. It felt like a temporary accident and we learned from our mistakes.

2026 sucks in a "oh fuck, this is how the rest of my life is going to be" kind of way. Everyone knew exactly who Trump was and what he wanted to do; he was still the first choice for most Americans, and now it feels like it will never get better.
