The US is a supertanker, so so so hard to turn in a completely different direction, in good part due to the system of checks and balances. BUT, when one side engages in bad faith (and often illegal, IMHO) machinations and turns that supertanker of state far enough in a destructive direction, those same checks and balances and reliance and appeals to good faith (all still adhered to by the opposing side, aka the Dems) may damn well stop the course of destruction from being turned away from.
