History has shown that the US does not hold anyone in power accountable. Sometimes we pretend to do so by punishing lackeys like Oliver North instead of presidents and politicians who make the decisions to do horribletand illegal things.
SCOTUS knew Trump was going to do this Project 2025 shit, which is why they said the president is above the law and forced Trump on Colorado's ballot to legitimize an insurrectionist running for office.
I'm not convinced that the US constitution/government will outlive me, at this point.

It is my assumption that the Constitution would be overhauled or recreated, depending on how the next ten years plays out.
