5. Maybe some kind of "Truth and Reconciliation"

But people actually have to tell the truth about what they did. I would hope that a few of Musk's code monkeys would tell the truth on pain of a long-term prison sentence.

But the people perpetrating this need to go to prison and we need to take steps that it doesn't happen again. Say, removing some presidential power. Maybe some agencies need to be separated from the Executive Branch (like Justice and Treasury).

But no "healing" without accountability.
