The reason America is great is that even after electing such a corrupt president twice, the country still keeps running.
I feel the greatness of the American political system.
The counterfactual doesn't make sense. Which country would stop or grind to a halt after electing a corrupt president? I think almost all countries would keep running at a basically normal capacity until failure, yet that doesn't prove those countries have great systems.
This will need a lot more time and hindsight to make general statements in terms of the wider picture.
Forget the IRS. America can balance its budget going after and fining these illegal trades and traders. MAGA!
(edit: /s but not about making the government some money off this corruption)

Eventually though, the built in resiliency will be destroyed. Public services got gutted by DOGE and a bunch more called it quits.
And in the end, that is the game they are playing. Starve the beast (aka, the US government) until not much more than the military remains.
