      And when the Democrats don’t fix it fast enough, Republicans will get elected all over again.

        Love your optimism. Might not be another election, at least a fair one. I look for elections like Russia, where Putin gets 99 percent of the vote

          I was going off disguy’s comment about consecutive terms of democratic control already assuming there was anything besides smoking ruins left.

      We still haven’t recovered from Reagan. This is going to take a looooong time to fix.

      it’ll take many consecutive terms with full control of Congress to fix the damage, assuming it can be fixed at all

      Assuming non-revolutionary means are used. If the Constitution is thrown out the window during this period of darkness, we are not going to be in a situation where incremental reform is called for. It’s going to be a phase shift.

        Who are your allies in this “revolution?” Do you honestly think one half of the nation can take on the other half and the US government all at once?

        We are divided, the wealthy are conquering.

      Pretty sure those environmental regulations were all things Obama had to do through executive orders because the GOP controlled the legislature.

      It’s much harder to undue things that have passed both houses and been signed into law.

        True, for the time being. The fully Republican controlled Congress we have coming should have a much easier time than the split we have now.

      Don’t forget the judges like Cannon they plan on installing now that they have full control of the Senate. Those people never go away. Any future government will have any attempt to make change shot down by rubber stamp judges.

      The billionaire class won.

        Removal of compromised officials is a typical move following a revolution. It would be entirely reasonable as well as necessary to remove every single official appointed by Trump or his successors, and to bar them from public office for life.

        The billionaire class won.

        They haven’t won until we’ve all surrendered or are all dead. Are you taking orders, or are you taking over? Those will be our only choices.
