Gibt es realistisch gesehen irgendwelche Methoden, mit denen die USA zu einer Art alten „Normalität“ zurückkehren können? Wenn ja, was kann passieren, um einen demokratischeren Staat wiederherzustellen?

The other branches of the government need to step up and use their checks in meaningful ways. That’s the only way we’re going to claw back any sense of normality.
Like what exactly?
I would argue that a lot of media has contributed to the state of the US and there are a lot of opinion pieces being presented as news; that would have to be stopped. You can reign in checks and balances for each branch of government, but if the populace is radicalized, you’ll still get radical candidates
Almost all relationships around the world are ruined, and everybody saw it happen. You can put Mr Democrat himself as a new president, nobody is going to fully trust ever again. Let’s see in about 80 years.
The Roosevelt corollary is over a century old…
The executive rejected the constitutionality of the war powers resolution under Nixon…
Welcome to the party guys, we were wondering when yall would finally get it
Domestically? Maybe but I’m doubtful. Internationally? Not a chance. The very fabric of America’s political system means every couple of years you have absolutely no idea what direction that country is going to go and it makes it incredibly unlikely that you want to make long-term deals and strategic alliances with a system like that.
Although we had a lot of ups and downs with different political ideologies in the country we have for the most part been pretty stable up until today and that tea pot is very much broken.
The US is still a democracy. The federal election wasn’t rigged in 2020 or 2025, and there’s no real indication that midterms or the 2028 election will be.
Democracy doesn’t inherently produce good or bad outcomes (although over the long run I’d still say it produces better outcomes than any alternative).
In my social circle (and I’m guessing OP’s), pre-Trump America is looked back on as a “normalcy” worth returning to. That’s not the case for most of Trump’s base. It’s obviously a lot more complex than this, but in simple terms – if you lived in a city, you most likely saw regrowth in the period between 2008 and 2016.
If you lived in a rural area, you most likely saw your town die slowly over that period. The jobs dried up, the factories closed down, your neighbors got poorer or left, etc.
Things will definitely change again, the question is just in which direction.
