To make an analogy out of your statement, in this scenario the nuclear powerplant is in the middle of melting down and one party ran on a platform of “Your right, that plant is a problem, but don’t worry we’ll fix it by removing all the control rods” while the other parties platform was “We think all the readings look fine, we’re not going to change anything, the control rods are just fine where they are”. Neither one is actually solving the problem, and one is actively making it worse while claiming the opposite. Everyone is rightfully concerned and wanted something done, and enough morons believed the lies to hand them the win.
Absolutely, but that’s not really comparable to the current situation. The US is far from well run and has a ton of problems that need fixing ASAP. While Trump will absolutely no question make things significantly worse, the Democrats message of “this is fine” did not in any way resonate with voters. It very much had the feel of “Some of you may die, but that’s a sacrifice I’m willing to make”.
I have made similar comparisons before.
I want an exciting government as much as I want an exciting nuclear powerplant.

I would have zero worry of living next to a boring, well run nuclear powerplant
