1. Some thing could get back to normal

but a lot won't. Individuals who may become more ill, or even die, and those who went bankrupt due to ACA repeal will never be able to go back. People in Puerto Rico have the same fate. The environment will not be able to be "as clean" as it was will be permanently ruined. Immigrants and DACA victims will never be able to go back to their previously lives as they were. Gorsuch will be on the Supreme Court forever...yuk!
A lot will depend on who becomes the next president and if the Dems can become the majority in both houses of Congress. Perhaps we will be able to correct our standing with our foreign allies. Fighting Climate Change again will be only a partial success since the environment was already past time for it to be stopped, now we can only slow it down and be better prepared when it changes the planet in a thousand different ways.
Of course with possible 3 years left, who the Hell knows if we will still be here then (N Korea).
