The disease is a rogue party that operates in bad faith, and an electorate that doesn't trust the government and can't diagnose what is wrong with it.

I think Trump is too damaged at this point to destroy the republic, but I'm not sure how the GOP or it's base get reformed. If they keep trying to install a caesar, they'll probably succeed eventually.
