The damage has been done, yes, but we can stop further damage. If MAGA finally turns on him for being a prolific pedo, we can roll the clock back on some of this stuff. I'm afraid they're going to have to catch him live with his dick in a minor for his base to believe it, though.
Can we though? We've never seen a sitting US president get thrown out of the job forcibly. Some were under investigation, or indicted, but stepped down voluntarily. The courts didn't kick them out of the job.
I do not believe, for a second, that Trump would ever be sensible enough to voluntarily step down. By the time they dragged him through the legal process of ending his term, his term would have ended anyways.
Even if we started today, the time that he would still be in office, actively harming America and Americans, would not change. We are unable to stop him because there's simply too much red tape involved; not that you could find someone to charge, and/or prosecute him.... Which is a whole other problem.
The damage is actively being done and getting worse. It will continue to get worse. And the only thing that could bring this insanity to a rapid conclusion is a radical and illegal act against the man himself. Honestly, I don't expect anyone to be able to "Luigi" Trump.
You can't roll back the loss of 100 years of progress. Especially in the sciences since we've already lost a lot of the people, can't roll back the loss of prestige, or the devaluation of the dollar, at least not easily.
