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?

    When has there been a revolution without a revolt in all of history?

    When has there been a 180° change without a revolution in all of history?

    In much of the world, Unions were forged in blood of many revolts.

    Nation separation and independence was almost exclusively revolution.

    Even the civil rights (which most people have been whitewashed into thinking was peaceful) had the black panthers. They have been completely villified, but the civil rights movement would not have succeeded without their willingness to use violence.

    History has shown time and time again that violence works and peaceful movements are stamped out 99% of the time.
