Or it's the beginning of the end of democracy.
Actually I think the beginning of the end of democracy probably started either in the mid-20th century (when the republican party adopted the southern strategy, and aligned with the white evangelical movement) or with the appearance of Newt Gingrich (who typified the "victory at all costs" mentality, where republicans decided to substitute fake moral outrage and dirty tricks over policies to appeal to the electorate. As bad as Trump is (and he is definitely the worst president in our lifetimes) he is almost a byproduct of the toxic sludge that is the republican party.
This indictment is not the end of democracy, it is actually an attempt to pull the US back from the brink and perhaps restore some of the democratic norms.
I agree it had to be done, but that crowd is so consumed with its own incoherent raging feelings of victimhood, they may never recover from the ugly baby tantrum they're now likely to have.
But here's the thing, they have been consumed with their "incoherent rage feelings of victimhood" pretty much since Stubby McBonespurs descended the escalator to enter the republican primaries. They have been throwing their temper tantrums for over half a decade now. I don't think its going to get any worse because the badness is an ever-present defect of the MAGAchud.
