It’s hard to see democracy surviving if elected leaders and corporate leaders feel they might be shot at any point. And that’s why we have to actually get our laws working again.
Half of the country thinks that the incoming president got away with crimes, the other half thinks that the current president pardoning his son was corrosive. Each half thought the other half was illegitimately elected in 2016 and 2020 respectively (in 2016 because of how the electoral college is setup, which half the country thought was unfair, and in 2020 for reasons).
I'm not sure how we "actually get our laws working again", especially when a majority of the people feel that there's no equal justice system (which the Supreme Court has assented to – the President is more equal than everyone else).
