There has been some speculation as to possible reforms enacted once Trump is gone – reforms intended to prevent another presidency as corrupt and as abusive of its powers.
But it would be naïve to believe such reforms will happen; reform legislation opposed by Senate Republicans, Constitutional amendments of reform opposed by Republican-controlled states.
“The Trump [regime] has done untold damage to the American government.”
True – some of it irreparable.
Indeed, it also exposed the faults and failings of American governance – such as rendering political opposition powerless to check authoritarianism, the impeachment process hopelessly crippled by the blind partisan right, and a Supreme Court dominated by partisan conservative ideologues who codified unitary executive dogma in support of a despotic president.
Last, Republicans will aggressively oppose any effort at reform – and they’ll succeed in their opposition, even if in the minority, another fault and failure of American governance.
