If we are able to rebuild out the ashes, the first thing that needs to happen is term limits on ALL elected officials. All of them. From dog catcher to SCOTUS and everything in between. The professional politician has been a disaster in the making for a long, long time. Too many forget that they are supposed to represent the people who pay their fat salaries and benefits.
The problem in the USA goes way deeper. Much like Germany in the late 20s, you have a democracy without (enough) democrats.
