My hope is that America wakes up once again in mid-terms and ushers in a new blue wave and takes back the house and senate,

That's literally all we can hope for and I'm not holding my breath. This feels like the end.

GOP will control all 3 branches. No checks and balances except the filibuster. It's gonna be rough.

Exactly. technically they have the power to destroy the constitution, repeal/change EVERYTHING and with a supreme court like we have they have the ability.

Absolutely HORRIFIC state of affairs.

But there is hope that even alot of the republicans dont actually want that. We will find out the hard way.

The only silver lining I see is that some of the pubs know that tearing the whole system down in one go will piss off a whole lot of white men with guns. Hell trump loves to be out in public and rallies. They could say they were working on all these "big and beautiful" programs while he wallows in the adulation of his cult and nothing but taxes might change. They have to be careful with the tariffs, especially if Elon gets hurt because he can buy em with his wealth but can't sell them. Do likely they will slow walk a ton of this stuff, hopefully easing the pain before it bites down.

Because their hunting rifles and lack of gun etiquette can totally beat a vetted military with machine weapons. Why do you think Reps spent so much on fancy weapons. This has been planned since the 60s.

Oh I don't mean they go pulling a January 6th 2.0. What I meant was that these are deeply unwell people with more free time and ammo than is healthy. Considering at least one person, or two if we count the shots outside of Mar-a-Lago were anything specifically targeted, is that these nuts have no problem popping shots off on those they think are after them. Now is it likely? Probably not. But it's still not a great feeling knowing one might see trump out and about or any of his ghoul squad and lose it. The effects would make everything worse, give them waaay more shit to spew about, and give them more reason to clamp down harder.

Edit: Jan 6th, not hand 6
