The dangerous part is what happens if this "deal" gets extended to Xi Jinping in Asia, who actually has ambitions that could be potentially far more disruptive than Putin or Trump can actually realize in their respective spheres, at least without significant pushback.

It appears the whole Putin “Ukraine tried to kill me with 91 drones last night” was entirely made up. And of course Trump repeated it and said he was mad at Ukraine.

the tea party was really a seminal shift in how the median congressperson behaved in person
you stopped needing to be a successful schmoozer and started needing to be a totally unreasonable lunatic to win your primaries, and social media has only accelerated this

My theory that as members of congress are increasingly batshit it will increasingly select for even more batshit people who can tolerate the job is doing pretty well
