"It will take decades of concerted action to dismantle this nightmare, and to set up deep constraints on the government against ever doing such things again."

I don't think so. As time goes by this will ONLY get worse. Totalitarians don't give up their power a little at a time until it's gone the way once free American's have given up their freedom. Communism can't be undone incrementally. It fails by either total collapse or war.

My view of this is a conservative president with a conservative congress not thwarted by RINOs. Their first actions can be very dramatic, but then comes the litigation.

So having a conservative dominated SCOTUS is also vital. And they will have their work cut out for them, reversing a century of bad and unconstitutional law.

While this is taking place, there will likely be very well funded riots by leftist radicals who see their castle being torn down.

And let’s face facts, Democrats have been a force for destroying America since at least Andrew Jackson. Joined by some of the Republicans since Teddy Roosevelt.

The one thing a recovery almost can’t be, is fast. Even assuming the villains are terribly crippled from day one.
