I think a big part of the problem is everyone just kind of assumed no one would get up to the kinds of shenanigans the current administrations is engaging in.

Kind of like a 'please take one' sign on a bucket of Halloween candy breaks down really, really fast in the presence of bad actors.

Currently, the courts are the only 'checks and balances' on the executive branch and they operate slowly by design. Eventually this will all get sorted out and we'll get back to normalcy assuming, of course, 'free and fair elections' survive the turmoil.

I think it incredible that people are outraged at the audacity of a POTUS who would divert a billion dollars into a vanity airplane, but they don't blink at all about the $140 billion project from which the funds were diverted.
