Imagine . . .one of our two major parties was captured by a splinter group defined by an unusually virulent (from the point of view of other advanced democracies) strain of anti PRO government ideology.

Talk about through the looking glass - My slight change is exactly what HAS happened.

Without attempting to settle this question, let me introduce a new one: What if our system is mutating into a new hybrid of presidentialism and parliamentarism? Consider, in this light, Trump's meager approval rating not as a standalone public measure of his performance,

This is what can happen if you go around touting a "living constitution". Unscrupulous politicians (almost redundant, I know) can change the government in whatever direction most benefits them. Funny how that works.

To your point, Tiger - I am certain you are correct. I believe that if Trump were to direct that all those guilty of espionage and sedition in the government and the Democrat party were to be prosecuted, the justice system would crash. The corruption is so deep that it will be almost impossible to punish everyone who's guilty.

And yet it must happen if we are ever to restore gov’t credibility and citizen confidence in gov’t.

There will be plenty of jail room for all gov’t traitors, just as soon as they release those being held for minor, non-violent crimes.

It must happen if our Republic is to truly be restored.
