We have no generational experience to handle this crisis and we will all suffer the consequences of Apathy/Misinformation and just plain stupidity in the last election. No other nations will likely take us seriously and Gen Z may end up struggling to simply survive, not now but 5 - 10 years?

It's unfair to say that what Trump's doing is unprecedented. Ninety-five years ago, the Smoot Hawley Tariff Act helped turn a recession into the Great Depression.

USAID officials were ordered to destroy classified documents, raising concerns about compliance with federal law. An internal email sent to remaining bureau leaders at the agency’s Washington headquarters provided guidance on “clearing our classified safes and personnel documents.”

All part of a fear campaign that is not likely to relent until it succeeds.
Legal counsel representing federal employees is now being targeted by the Trump administration. Law firms are receiving a clear message that retaliation is possible for those advocating on behalf of individuals or groups opposing the administration’s agenda.

And you would be correct. The odds he won all 7 swing states w/only 49% of the vote would be like "winning the mega-millions lottery 7 days in a row."
