(CNN)There is a slow-motion car crash quality to the destruction of democratic norms right now. But we can't afford to simply fixate on our problems. We need to focus on finding solutions. The good news is that there is a growing awareness that we cannot take our democracy for granted. This is a time to straighten our civic backbones and roll up our sleeves. But healing our nation's divisions will require more than the corrective of one election.
