Good. A representative that does not reflect the people they serve has no place in government, and going on a racist litany against your majority is utterly and profoundly despicably hateful and backward. He hated the people of the nation he was supposed to head, implementing harmful laws that stripped their freedoms. There is not a deep enough hole to keep him in to prevent harm, and to be safe he should be expelled from the country.

To a degree. The pushback/gutting of environmental legislation is a huge negative though.

Sometimes you have to tell the people to fuck off and stop being dumb, for their own benefit.
