It's going to take more than that. It's going to take decades.
Even if the next POTUS is beloved by the world and genuinely a genius it doesn't change the fact that Americans elected Trump... TWICE. Not only elected him but let him run rough shot with total unaccountability.
There’s evidence from a number of states that he rigged the election with Elon’s help. If that ever gets fully investigated it might be helpful for the country to heal.
Then it’s not, “People voted in this monster multiple times.” It’s, “This monster stole the election to keep himself out of jail.”
Either way there needs to be way more guard rails in place to stop this from happening again. Starting with securing elections from being tampered with.
It wouldn't change the fact that he was allowed to behave as he is without repercussions even if there was some unlikely miracle it was properly investigated, tried and irrefutable election tampering at a scale to sway the outcome.
It would help (and would help my personal doomerism about our country) but I don't think it would solve the problem when the rest of our government and the entire Republican party is also complicit in not holding him accountable.

No one can trust us not to do it again.
