Something I just keeping back to over and over is the tremendous continuity between the last two Republican presidents, both of whom left the country in ruins, amidst historic catastrophes. The entire party and movement are rotten to the core and unfit to govern.
Not only that: the last Republican presidency started a lot of the "norm destruction" that has dangerously accelerated. From torture and war crimes to an entire scandal around political interference with US Attorneys to get them to prosecute non existent voter fraud!
And, of course, both George W Bush and Donald J Trump came to power by losing the popular vote. The Republican party has lost 6 of 7 popular votes, a record run for any party since the dawn of the two-party system.
The only path foward for the country is a total civic repudiation of the GOP. That won't by any means solve all our problems - far from it! Just look at CA. But destruction and defeat of the current GOP are *necessary* (though not sufficient) for any kind of future.
