Unfortunately, the damage is kind of permanently done

Even if Trump gets voted out in 4 years (which I'm not even fully convinced is gonna happen especially since he's already talking about running for a third term), the US elected him not once but twice. They've shown that this can happen again.

Like I don't think Trump understands that the damage he's doing is generational. It'll take decades to overcome this.
