Not sure if I would be that optimistic. TFG has exposed America's ugly underbelly like no one before. One could argue in good faith prior to 2016 that the Congress & Senate would have controlled the shenanigans that TFG seemed to be involved in on a daily basis. But that turned out to be not true. Didn't it? Over the last 5-6 years, the formula to gain total control has been inserted into the fabric of the country methodically with the purge of true opponents (like a Cheney), the replacement/silencing/defanging of the judiciary, Inspector Generals, politicization of institutes such as Secret Service, DOJ and the mass brain-washing through right wing propaganda media (Fox, OAN etc.). This rot is likely been sown within the federal workforce and US military as well and they too would be stifled, just like the rest of the institutions. As an example, there were reports that suggested Mike Flynn's brother who oversees the National Guard was instrumental in preventing them from being deployed soon enough to help Capitol Police on Jan6th. It is surprising that hasn't received more press. For too long the American population have been waiting for somebody else to rescue them. That isn't happening, if recent history is any proof.
I'd also not let precedence fool me in thinking the SC will be a balance. They have through their recent rulings shown that they will respect precedence sometimes (when convenient) and not others. They have show a clear disposition towards pushing right leaning causes and nobody should be surprised that they would look the other way in the future.
