I think a lot of people are waking up to the fact that the old way of things that included very serious deliberation and norms and Institutions was just a gaudy mask for the true nature of power. Trump doesn't care about any of these things and has ripped off the mask to reveal the ugly gears of power grinding away. It is just people in power doing what they can with the power they have.
People tend to get reacquainted with the incredible power the President has each time the president isn't from their party. The post-9/11 presidential powers that W/Obama have amassed (NSA/FBI/FISA, CIA deep state, vast covert action powers/drones) combined with the post WW2 permanent war powers given to the President regarding nuclear weapons leave the opposition rightly being able to charge that we have an imperial presidency.
Hopefully, people begin to question how we can unwind some of this. I'm not overly optimistic about it given the bipartisan consensus on the imperial presidency, but if Trump is going to careen from one crisis to another and people are motivated to resist him, then perhaps some powers can be rolled back, if not now, then based on the memories of Trump's failings.
