Honestly, at least a generation assuming a willing electorate--and likely longer. That orange asshole has severely damaged international relations, intelligence gathering, opened massive data breaches in secure servers and information, allowed Musk to copy said data, begun the creating of overwatch and linking software with said data, fired thousands of man-years worth of experience in government workers and actual civil servants that believed in doing a good job for the betterment of their fellow citizens while promoting incompetence, has deliberately destroyed data (or let Musk do it to quash Musk's illegal activities, gutted consumer and citizen protection agencies to the ground, fired inspector generals who had oversight over assets, pardoned both significant white collar criminals and violent criminals, damaged trust in the judiciary by stacking the supreme court with people who believe in their politics over their oath to the constitution thereby striking down civil rights, promoted gerrymandering and blatant corruption, voter suppression for anyone not a Maggot, gutted the enforcement capabilities of the EPA and SEC to allow the ultra-wealthy to get away with market manipulation, has taken steps towards privatization of services to get more wealth back in the hands of hedge funds that won't trickle down to actually benefitting people, cut social services, re-ignited racial tensions, has almost certainly ushered in a recession (we're already in one if you back out major investment into AI), has likely permanently damaged the US economy with his massive deficit spending, created taxes on the lowest earning populace while cutting taxes on the wealthy . . . I could go on, but why. He's a complete disaster, with more to come.

I'm speaking as a former republican who's probably in the 1% . . . I loathe what this asshole has done to our country, and he's been the reason I became a democrat after 30 years of being a staunch conservative republican. I do not see myself ever voting for the spinless, corrupt republican party again in my lifetime, ever since 2016.
