If free and fair elections survive, I expect we will. If not, this will likely be a lifelong lesson on the decline of a nation.

The last such threat to the nation ended with FDR's death, and before that, the end of the Civil War. I hope we'll get another chance.

FDR? FDR did spawn many (controversial) programs/agencies but he also got (the world) through WW2. There's something to be said for that. He also picked a pretty good VP. Yes, he overstayed his welcome, but his death in office wasn't something that people were necessarily looking forward to & his funeral was a very somber affair. Can we say the same thing about the Imperial Cheeto in Chief?
