I've said it several times since 2016, but I feel like Marty McFly in Back To The Future Part 2, when he and Doc wind up in an alternate dystopian reality, where their town and their lives were controlled by a Donald Trump-like Biff Tannen. Except that that was a movie where they were able to resolve that problem with a time machine, which, unfortunately, we don't have.
