I’m not in the US, but it seems to me that the Republicans keep breaking norms and procedures, including politicising impeachment and ignoring illegal, immoral and plain bad conduct.

They also seem to be fine with not applying the same standard across the isle.

On the other hand, either Democrats follow new precedent, with even more devolving, or they keep the old decorum and get their asses kicked by Republican foul play.

What ways out of this spiral are there?

    oh brother, you still think we’re on a spiral, as in active? dude the spiral is complete, and now the monsters have control of all three branches of us government, they’re going to do their damnedest to make sure they change just about everything that could possibly allow the power to be taken from them ever again. should have gotten the young people to vote, but wasn’t important, looking a bit more important now, huh. dumbest thing i’ve ever seen, trump was president, fucked everything up, a million americans died bad from a pandemic due to his ineptitude, then young people stayed home and didn’t vote democrat … can’t make this shit up, the jokes write themselves. and now … unstoppable destruction, and death.
