Most analysis still treats this as a degradation in progress, something the next election reverses. Modelled as a transition to oligarchy with democratic aesthetics, the prescriptions flip. You stop trying to fix the process and start building parallel institutions. I would assume that some European allies are reaching the same conclusion right now, just from the outside looking in.
