Most importantly...Trump's people would have been the same 2016 people who backstabbed, hobbled, and were generally treasonous, and Trump wouldn't have known better.
Giving him four years to stew was probably for the best. Who really got a grasp of just what DC is like, and how evil some of these people are. Hopefully he has learned from that, and has a much more interesting and impactful term this time.
As for the main question, 2024...would it matter? I doubt it would be better than Trump 47.
No matter how people feel about Trump, or if he's underwhelming, God Emperor, or whatever...as far as the current system and Overton window get, I think Punished Trump might be just about the best we can get. And if he does a good job, that will push things more, so we can continue the trend of improving things. If Trump had won 2020, not only would Trump 20 be inferior to Trump 24, but the Republican candidate in '24 might very well have been a partial/full neocon. They were already trying to slide back; if Trump wasn't running for election again, and if he hadn't been taught a very practical lesson about who these people are, the party may very well have backslid.
I think too many people were still putting their head in the sand and needed to learn the hard way how bad things would get with these woke retards in office for four years before they were ready to accept he was right about alot of things. We are now entering a new Trump term with a Trump who has hopefully learned, has a VP who is hopefully less of a backstabber, and an American people who are absolutely fed up with leftist bullshit and have absolute 0 trust in the mainstream media. This may have all been for the best.
Trump has the responsibility to change some things this time around and doesn't have the excuses he had back then (lack of experience in politics, being surrounded by backstabbing RINOs etc). He has 2 years until the midterms and must not procrastinate.
