Petty boug definitely has been hurt badly by this. I don’t know how it’s all gonna play out but I definitely think this might end up being another 2008 situation, except at the beginning of Trump’s term, as opposed to the end of Bush’s term.
I feel like small-r republicans (constitution enjoyers, people who would like to see the US institutions persevere and the facade of liberal democracy preserved) have gotten very lucky in the past couple of decades. Every time things blow the fuck up in this country, it has been within arms reach of an election, giving tens of millions of people an outlet for their discontent and allowing the crisis to effectively be blamed on the outgoing administration. We’ve got a wild three and a half years ahead of us if shit starts spiraling now.
