And every time it's been catastrophic.
Look, the scenario we're looking at right now? If we are being optimistic and assuming that it is not abnormal in US history, then the comparable situations are the end of Reconstruction, the Wilson Administration, and the Nixon-Reagan period. All of which had horrifically corrosive effects that took decades to address, and never have been fully resolved.
That which does not kill you, cripples you against future problems. This is not a minor concern that will just blow over, even under an 'ideal' resolution.
