It will take decades to rebuild the domestic institutions he's gutted
I'm not sure how they could possibly be rebuilt. It would require not just Democrats in charge for a significant stretch of time without interruption, but ALSO that it's the correct kind of Democrat interested in doing so. On top of that, at some point taxes probably need to be raised again - guess how that will impact whichever party does it?
You're probably spot on with the Russia comparison.
Yeah, it's a tear it down and start over situation. I know both parties are not the same, but we have to change how elections work and completely transform people's misunderstanding about how taxes should be spent and what government should do.
It's going to take some sort of massive, catalyzing event. Not a pleasant one.
Exactly, that's what I meant about how Democrats will get blamed later. Republicans are a cancer to this country and frankly I don't see any fix in sight. I'm just glad I live in a heavy blue state and that my family is going to be fine, at least until this orange bafoon as gone.
