Sure but his replacement wouldn't be him, so at least some harm would have been avoided that way, but you're right. It would have been much better if this never happened.

Yes and no. We have no crystal ball, ultimately the material conditions for fascism are still present in the US, and they will not go away even with 10 straight DNC victories. America is a dying Empire, so reactionary thinking, trying to turn the clock back, is on the rise.

Leftism must become the status quo to survive fascism.

There would be some harm reduction, yes, and I would have probably celebrated had Trump been popped, but his replacement would be just as bad, merely delayed.
