No.  We've recovered from and corrected many (but not all) misdeeds of 
prior administrations.  I've been around since the Truman 
administration, though certainly not old enough to have had a first-hand 
recollection of it.  But my memory of administrations of the last 50 
years and history in general is good enough to see the damage that this 
one has inflicted and to know how long it might take for correction. 
Several generations might be sufficient.

That is hard for me to imagine.  I think that, at least over the short 
term, Americans can learn.
