possible silver lining of 2016?

Now, let me say this, I am NOT going to so Susan Sarandon and say that trump will lead to some "glorious revolution." NO political move is worth killing people, especially the innocents who are far away from the consequences. However, if there is one good I see, and let's put good with heavy quotes, is that Trump is not only vulgar, but outright incompetent, which might make whatever he does easier to undo.

There's nothing good about having to clean up a shitstorm.
Obviously good if that shitstorm is as small as possible, but a shitstorm nonetheless.

so his competency is not that relevant.

The people around him are vicious, racist, corrupt and greedy.

The dismantling of our government is being engineered and conducted by others. He just shows up to pose for pictures and sign things. They are shameless, ruthless and put their self interests over the country's at all times.

The damage may take a generation if not more to undo.

I have yet to see a democratic president undo horrible republican policies of the last administration. I just wonder how a Dem president could undue the damage of Net Neutrality, tax cuts, healthcare.
