To expand on what you've said, that I agree with entirely:

I think the vacuum he left behind, that was filled with the very flawed "replacements", left a serious scar on society.

It's like if you quit on a "balanced nutritional diet" and ate nothing but Doritos and Mountain Dew for a decade. Like, we got fat and we got scurvy... And a lot of people I think ended up addicted to a trash diet.

I've seen some really terrible takes regarding Jon's return. Like," I used to think he was funny, but now he's an enlightened centerist."

Oof. We've forgotten how to even coherently articulate a single thought, apparently.

Yeah political discourse really suffered in his absence. It was so hard to find any commentators who had takes that embodied his "sanity and/or fear" approach. They all wanted to throw punches at the people they perceived as the problem, when someone with an understanding of politics would have known they were only a symptom of the problems.
