There is no coming back from this.
The Rubicon has been crossed.
Any last thread of faith in the machine is on fire

But it's Trump who long ago crossed the Rubicon.
And while (if IIRC) many officials of the Roman Republic fled Rome when Caesar crossed the Rubicon, in this case many citizens and officials aren't intimidated by the attempted usurpation.
George Conway says that the FBI “crossed the Rubicon,” but that this, in and of itself, suggests “there's something behind the curtain.” Okay, but what if there’s not? Nobody making the “it is therefore it must be” argument ever seems to say. They must. https://t.co/yDeosZ4Rco

It’s going to get ugly folks, way more ugly than most are imagining.
If you don’t see the rubicon that is being crossed by the FBI conducting a raid on a former and likely future political opponent’s home, I can’t help you.
