Yep. It's now clear that so much of our democracy has been based on the the relative goodwill and voluntary restraints of political leaders (and fears of what might happen to them if they crossed certain lines), and a willingness in both parties to compromise on issues to pass legislation and make government work. And we've lost that. It's bread and circuses all the time now, and Trump is the ringmaster. We've got a reality-show POTUS leading a hopelessly dysfunctional government and political system. And it's not just us, but the UK and many other democracies are struggling right now as well. It's an ugly time.
