This won’t end until he is stopped. Either we stop him, or the world will.

Father Time is in the running, too. And he may be more reliable than us or the world.

But the problem is bigger than just Trump. There are hundreds of accomplices that need to be held to account as well. That was part of the successful recovery after WWII. The Nuremberg trials brought many accomplices to justice after the war. If the US is to recover from Trumpism, all of his enablers need to be brought to trial as well.

Further, we will need a number of institutional reforms - things like strict limits on campaign contributions (overturning Citizens United) and formalizing a number of informal understandings on the limits of Presidential powers. Perhaps a constitutional amendment or two.

It remains to be seen if we can make these changes on our own, or if the rest of the world will have to impose the changes on us.
