Frankly, the damage done by Trump and MAGA is generational damage that will take generations to fix. BUT... not everything wrong with this country is down to them. And while I don't agree with the MAGA version of what it means to "make America Great Again", I do agree that a lot of things in this country have been on a downward slope for decades.

We have deep structural and cultural issues that date back a VERY long time and it's unclear how to fix them, or even if they are fixable. Just look up some of what Tocqueville had to say about populism and anti-intellectualism in America as far back as 1831.



Trump is a symptom of deeper issues.

The damage to intelligence agencies in particular is something I fear may never be undone. I feel like the US is potentially out of the game forever.
