Getting rid of just Trump only incrementally helps (but I'll take it). The root problem is an electorate that took him seriously, despite being unfit for office, and the GOP part of Congress that chose self-interest over removing him.

Our country has become massively dysfunctional -- and COVID-19 won't be the last emergency that we fumble, whether or not Trump is in office.
