The USA will take measures to prevent thighs like that to happen again like new laws, a reform of DC politics or something, removing the need for the congress endorsing votes (or something), invade some arab country completely unrelated to the events like Iraq (except Saudi Arabia). Or something.
Even Republicans will now be immunized against letting a billionaire running for president by their party. And the country will be even more resilient to this kind of thing.

(And everyone but blinkered centrists and other "both-siders" is able to see the difference between protesting police violence on the one hand and invading parliament while the legislature is in session in order to prevent the certification of a lawfully-conducted election whose results you refuse to accept because your guy lost on the other.)
