"Don't Worry, Be Happy narrative is a right wing talking point designed to distract from what is going on.

The insurrection did not end on Jan. 6, 2021, it is ongoing. Our democracy is in more danger today than it ever was.

That my good friend is the road to authoritarianism, Georgia will not have an independent judiciary system, it will have a judiciary that is controlled by Magats.
