Yeah, you're right. Much better to have Trump who just passed tax cuts for billionaires and corporations, imposed tariffs on Penguins and pardoned a bunch of people, some of whom he said he didn't even know.

Undoubtedly, US and probably the world would likely have been a better place if that had happened.
Unfortunately, at present in the United States, the choices om offer(at least at a national level) are either neo liberalism with a woke 1.0 add on, or full on MAGA. The latter part is likely going to swing back to neocon territory by 2028 though.
That will be an... interesting transition. They're kind of between a rock and a hard place; they clearly have to ditch the MAGA thing, because it's electoral poison, as we've just seen. But also the die-hard Trumpists are still a big part of their base, and won't like that.
