The most scary thing for me about the Trump presidency is that all politicians (Republican and Democrat) now have a much better idea of what they can and can't get away with. This is partially why Trump just losing isn't enough. He needs to be historically defeated to try and curb politicians in the future. I realize it'll probably be a close election, though.
