Otherwise, the American public would still be subject to a relentless and exhausting rehashing of why President Trump should not have been acquitted by the Senate after the House of Representatives failed to convince the upper chamber on abuse of power charges.
While this has led to important and cerebral conversations about the exact role government should play in what used to be considered the most basic and essential functions of the federal government, Americans are pulling themselves together one community at a time, leaning on their state governments, and weathering the viral storm.
The time for a systemic discussion on whether Washington is capable of working for the people may not be here in the now, but its reckoning seems evermore imminent once we overcome perhaps the greatest societal and public health challenge of our time.
So what are Americans supposed to glean from all the hand wringing, inaction, and elitism?
That sounds really good but when this invisible enemy passes, Americans should not only come away with an incredible sense of unity and accomplishment for coming together to defeat a global health threat but endeavor to revisit and act upon the essential challenge of our time: to systemically refresh our republic.
Why can't Congress learn from the example of their constituents in times of great challenge?
The result: Washington's aloofness allows President Trump to run against the very entity he presides over, meaning he can both cite a long list of accomplishments as well as marshaling the world's best scientists and health experts, not to mention empowering states' governors to stop the spread of the coronavirus.
