The next populist demagogue will be more disciplined and smarter than Trump--not hard to do. Impeachment now is a good vaccine against the Trumpism virus.

But that's not enough, and whether it happens or not, Biden, Congress, and the Justice Department must move quickly to strengthen America's democratic immune system.
As for Trump's mob at the Capitol, let the law work without interference. They wanted insurrection and selfies, they can have prison sentences and mug shots.
It's very important to break the perception of impunity and protection from above that such people have. They may be fringe now, but they will grow if others see them go unpunished. This is a common phenomenon.
From Confederate flags to Trump flags, the winners in the battle for justice and the rule of law cannot give ground in the face of insurrection and delusion. Do not accommodate lost causes or they fester and spread.
