Assuming in some distant epoch when the Dems have finally de-self-rectumized their heads and regain the presidency, I'd actually hope most of Trump's evil is inflicted via executive orders. As we've seen, they are easy to neutralize with the stroke of a pen.
Now, having to wait 30, 40 years for the Dems to realize they need to field good candidates running taut campaigns is a drawback, but that drawback isn't being imposed via executive order, it could be lifted tomorrow . . .
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
