Exactly. Your archaic anti-democratic system concentrates too much power to very few people whose elections get cosmic-level significance. Your political culture reveres the supposed wisdom of your founding daddies as if political thought peaked in the late 1700s. This structurally produces chaotic outcomes and an inability to adapt. Mind you it's not a matter of codifying the conventions Trump broke. It's about rethinking what you mean by democracy. Hardening the conventions does not solve the problem. Since American political thought loves comparisons to ancient Rome: hardening the conventions is what Sulla did. It did not save the Republic, it just ossified its inability to reform and defined the rules of the antirepublican game that people like Pompey and Caesar had to play in the road to Empire.
