    It depends by how much. If it’s a thin majority, I imagine it will be like it is for Republicans this time around (hamstrung by the loud minorities within your party with an axe to grind). If it’s a solid majority, I think we’d actually see some good changes.

      Sure, and they will once again scapegoat a couple individuals knowing most people don’t pay enough attention to to know it’s like 30 in the House and 8-10 in the Senate who are gladly blocking anything meaningful.

        That’s something that needs to happen in a really obvious way. All those scapegoats need to be on full display - especially if they changed their previously stated views. Then maybe people will start understanding they need to actually show up to their fucking primaries if they want to make any effective progress in the future.

        All these comments about “letting it all burn down” are just long-term reinforcing the idea that status quo centrists are the best candidates to run against fascists. Progress won’t happen until people vote in primaries.
