that is not a bad take tbh...
...but not that practical at stopping democracy backslide. as we've seen via the impeachments there was no one wanting to hear the facts or faithfully execute the oath of office. it was just "us vs them" and "loyalty". in other words if a party is openly committing criminal behaviors there will be no accountability so long as the party is happy about openly committing criminal behaviors.
like part of the reason republicans choose not to impeach is that "this is a matter for the courts" but trump main argument in the courts is "presidents have total immunity and can only be impeached". it's just a big set of circular logic to ensure there is no accountability at all.
