All of this was true in 2016 and it didn’t seem to matter then!

No it wasn't. Trump wasn't remotely as unstable as he's been in just the past months. Sure, he said stupid and outrageous things, even wildly illogical things, but not like this.

I mean - I disagree it wasn't like this. It was exactly like this. It's worse, yeah, but this same statement could very well have been made in 2016 and would have been just as true:

“If it wasn’t clear by his erratic, self-obsessed behavior, his pathological lying, his lack of moral conscience, his assaults of women, and his blatant disregard for the safety of others, more than 200 experts agree that he is unfit for office,” Conway said. “Voters need to recognize the threat we face electing this deranged man.”

It was exactly like this in 2016. It was just a lot harder for laymen to spot. Many clinicians discussed feeling a responsibility to warn vs interpretation of the "Goldwater Rule".
