I'm hoping that the Democrats (and sympathetic Republicans) started working on a plan for this a few weeks ago. It needs to be comprehensive, and it needs to deal with both houses being majority single party, and deal with the ability for a president to select appointees to the powerful roles that are now filled with Trump catspaws.

They also need to fix their voting rules and gerrymandering.

I hope.




One thing that might help is if we stop thinking of them as, "they," as if they were some kind of occupying force.


Government is an occupying force. That some people hold sympathies with the regime and even voted for it in hopes that its serves their personal interests doesn't change the nature of the monopoly on violence.
