Definitely, although the difficult prospect for this is that a period of calm governance doesn't look likely to be able to increase living standards to a meaningful degree. It might just temper the decline in some of the worst parts of our economic lives, which as you say is preferable to this clusterfuck, but not sufficient either.

A saying about not trying to eat the elephant whole comes to mind.

I don't disagree, but if you're locking half of the elephant in a cage along with the keys, you'll only ever eat one part of it

(Edit: eating endangered animals obviously not advised…!)
