Oh, we've done plenty as a country.
Republicans across the country have implemented an unprecedented amount of new targeted suppression mechanisms and barriers to vote, and fostered toxic norms within the culture of the party that has primed the pump for the next attempt to over turn fair election results, or double down on fascism while in power, as fair and justified.
If you mean Democrats? Yeah, they've basically decided, thanks to the "moderate" wing, that civility politics and reaching across the aisle, no matter how fascistic the other person is, is more important than standing strong for democracy....Which baffles me as to how that type of person gets away with being labeled a "moderate."
As for everyday normal people? We kinda deserve it tbh. We can't seem to muster concern about anything existential unless you can roll that threat up into a super villain like Bush or Trump. The moment they are gone we become the frog in the water slowly being raised to a boil. We just don't care.
