At this point, Trump has effectively created his own political party. If you look at die hard Trump supporters, they're quick to label many republicans as traitors.

If the moderates in the Republican party and the progressives in the Democratic party could hold their noses long enough to do a deal on bringing in proportional representation, perhaps some good could come out of this.

I admire your optimism, but I am of the opinion that the Senate will never loosen its grip until the day that it is destroyed.
One side effect of this personality type seizing power is that the Overton window has been inflated into a vast, festering portal through which our worst nightmares can crawl out. I doubt it was his intent, but it is the result.
You’ve almost got to admire the raw primitive energy and boundlessness of that level of id. How very sad that it has been employed to such feeble ends; it will ultimately have to be crushed for democracy to prevail.
