What kind of media were you consuming in US? I am in norway and even over here there was day in and day out of the latest insane thing trump had did or said the last 24h with video of some speach where some minority or the other got rights removed. Or some executive order that was right out of the ss handbook. Or kissing ass with some authorative dictator.
It was a 4 year of constantly feeling sorry for americans. And hoping the bottom was reached. But he allways managed to do something worse the next day.
I think we got a taste of the 24h news cycle in us and it was exhausting.
