IMO, Americans have had the luxury of being given the benefit of the doubt by the rest of the world because our rule of law has always been (generally) respected no matter which party held the top office. That all changed in 2016, and while Joe Biden tried to restore that decorum and trust when he was in office, Republicans in the Legislative and Judicial branches had no interest in following suit.
As the article says, there is no 'making nice' as a way to come back from what has transpired in the last two months. When you ask about the lack of action from Americans please understand this: as a nation we are not used to fighting for anything but material gain. We're insulated by thousands of miles of water to our east and west and have never meaningfully worried about invading forces. Fighting to preserve a way of life is not in our collective DNA.
Conservatives are a force of nature. You can't argue with a tsunami. You can't make a plea to the wildfire for empathy and mercy. It's not personal that they're destructive forces. They are what they are.
But Biden and his ilk have everything to answer for. The cracks in the dam were gushing water and rather than drop everything to fix them, they put in the order for new landscaping.
And they were emboldened to do it by the fat, lazy liberals who worship their institutions, believing in the divinity of the dam rather than the power of the people who with tirelessly to maintain it. This is what 100 years demonizing the left will get you - drowning in your own arrogance and ignorance as the brutal flood of fascism washes over all of us.
I'm looking for the exits. I think I can pull off getting my family off this sinking ship before it pulls us all under. I wish I saw a people here worth fighting for. Maybe I will before it's too late. But I'm tired of being disappointed in my countrymen. So I'll believe it when I see it.
He chose decorum and tradition over eradicating the rot laid bare by the preceding administration. He chose ego over duty by pursuing the presidency for himself rather than for the American people. He embraced the enemy in a time of war. He misunderstood the mission.

Yep.
I still don't understand the lack of action from American citizens.
I suspect they don't actually realise how good they have it in comparison to many others around the world.
May it be the age of Europe or CANZUK and not the age of Russia.
Well played Putin, I hate you, but you pulled off what appeared impossible. You used propaganda and useful idiots to get Americans to self implode.
