They need, in particular, a commitment to a constitutional order centered on the power and prerogatives of Congress
which yeah, that makes a lot of sense to me as a European – but as I understand it, congress is not a very popular institution in the US. I’ve been following the aggregators for Trump’s favorability/approval ratings - and while they’re not very high, they are a lot higher than the ones for congress. This is going to be tough to do.
Still possible, but I think it depends on the “good things” you mentioned being very clearly good and noticeable in peoples’ lives.
Also, nice to read a comment from someone who actually read the article

They’ve not been popular because they made themselves impotent by refusing to do anything to fix anything since the '80s.
