There's already so much damage done, not just to government but to the trust we have in each other. I'll never look at Trump supporting relatives & acquaintances the same. They'll wear that orange stain forever. IDK how a nation recovers from that. It's obvious a bunch of them never got over the Civil War & I don't see them changing anytime soon. I think in 6-7 years, if government & the economy stabilize & we regain some of the global status we had, they'll go back to their bigoted ways.
