"May you live in interesting times" is not a blessing.
Biden was boring. It was a welcome reprieve from daily scandals and, at minimum, monthly constitutional crises. Now we're moving to weekly constitutional crises. Functional government is boring. It's mostly bureaucratic regulatory bookkeeping.
It's certainly possible to not be boring in a positive way, for instance if a politician is loudly advocating for radical positive change. But statistically speaking, boring is less harmful than the alternative.
So did every president since Israel existed. The non-boring president didn't stop that genocide, he blocked a lot of aid we were sending Ukraine, and unblocked a lot of aid we weren't sending Israel. At least Biden wasn't trying to turn Gaza into his own resort. This is objectively worse than boring Biden.
