That is what makes the stuff going on at the federal level so difficult to try to deal with: our democracy was already broken long before this all happened, and all up and down the scale from federal down to county.
Biden was corrupt, now Trump even more so, but are we going to convince people to expend enormous efforts merely to shift from the latter back to the former? I would hope so, but so far I'm not seeing anything happening. Which does not mean that it won't, and yet like you say... how much stuff is merely performance. I think Bernie Sanders really means it, but even so... I cannot escape the feeling that this level of rhetoric won't be enough.
