As the metaphor goes you can boil a frog without the frog knowing it by warming the water a little bit at a time. Trump and his criminal cabal is slowly chipping away at the legitimacy of our most cherished institutions until they will become irrelevant.
These mid terms will tell us if Americans want a democratic republic or not.
