I'm kind of torn here because if we're being fair, the Trump years were absolutely a massive test to those democratic institutions and the country did, in fact, survive despite him and his cronies doing everything possible to undermine them. So they maybe do deserve a little credit for resilience.
But I'm also a pessimist and am tempted to say "yeah but the cracks that all caused aren't going to get repaired so it's more just a case of a delayed collapse".
