This is kind of one of the points I try to make. All of the damage that is being done right now is very hard to fix when we have sane people back in power (if that happens). It’s 100x easier to destroy than build, and we are seeing it happen in real time.

Also, attempts to undo the damage will be painted as extreme, whether it’s rehiring / recreating the agencies that were destroyed or prosecuting the crazy corruption and seizing funds.
Not only that, but when you do fix it, voters will forget how bad things were last term and re-elect the people that caused the damage. It is extraordinarily rare in modern times for the party in power to not change when the incumbent president isn't running. It's also very rare for a party that controls the presidency to keep the house/senate after midterms.
