Best scenario probably results in the dissolution of the Republican party, and its key players in jail, dead, or otherwise removed from the political landscape.
But the roots of the problems there- the xenophobia, the tribalism, the (deeply ironic considering some of their slogans) supremacy of feelings over facts - that stuff isn’t likely to go away. So even if the Republican party collapsed, there’s still plenty of people ready to believe outsiders are bad, climate change isn’t real, etc etc.
I don’t really know how to fix that. Probably spend 100 years investing in education for all, removing lead and other toxins from the environment, and smashing apart anything that consolidates too much power (eg: Facebook, Sinclair media)

Well, neither party is going to do those things, so we’re pretty much fucked. (And that’s not a both sides argument, it’s just reality.)

At least there’s been some anti trust movement lately! The Democratic party is much better about that than the Republican
They are better in every way honestly, but increasingly I’m concluding still not good enough.
