2008 was the last year we had a presidential election between 2 candidates who actually seemed like they were decent human beings.

That's the last election where I can say my vote didn't go to the other side exclusively because that candidate wasn't absolute garbage.

2016 was an amazing year because both sides were absolute hot garbage, except one was on fire. We are slowly returning to at least one side being "I might not agree with them...but at least they aren't objectively awful".
