Perhaps if Trump resigns and Pence takes over, it would be the high watermark of the Polarization of politics in America and we could start to "heal." And by that I mean begin to have trust in one another again at some point. However, I know I will not be able to trust a republican on their word for a long time, if ever. So to me the previous statement is wishful thinking. What I think is most likely to happen in the incredibly unlikely scenario where Trump leaves office sooner than 2020 is the Republicans will continue to pull the overton window as hard to the right as they can and Democrats will start to do the same. The last shreds of democracy, at least as we know it 20th/Early 21st century, will burn. Something else will take it's place. Spoiler alert, it's going to be 1 power party authoritarianism; a minority party will always exist to keep the illusion going. E: But! Removing Trump means his appointees might go, but Bannon will almost certainly go. So if removing Trump means getting rid of every appointee as well as his WH staff, then that would be the best path. But this is a total hypothetical because the republicans will never vote him out. Some might, but most will view anything like that to be too damaging to the party.
