You don't know what the future holds.

Perhaps some things will change for the better.

At the very least, Donald doesn't have as much power as before.

    I don't know the future. I can hope that things will actually get better than they currently are, but the past has taught me whenever this happens and there's a majority control of each branch, not a whole lot goes on.

    There are a couple folks actually trying to move things forward, though it seems like the majority are fine with maintaining the status quo, even if that status quo keeps shifting right every time they don't have majority control. I wonder if Bernie's 32 hour work week bill was already shot down or if it's still in play.

    As for the oranges power, the only thing that changed for him is thankfully a significant decrease in making any lasting changes in the law. He's still going to do whatever the hell he wants without any fucks given for the proper forms, laws, or protocols followed. Overreaching executive orders, Supreme Court complicity, and him just eroding nearly every single foreign relationship are still his main methods of operation.

    The foreign relations are already fkd. Other countries aren't sitting on their hands, waiting for Donald to throw another fit. Democrats have to decide if they'll do something about the concerns of the workers.

    Poor, pissed off voters who felt like nothing ever changes were successfully duped by orange. They didn't all gravitate towards the worst aspects of maga. It's easier to write it all off as racism than to listen to their grievances.

    Is the Right going to help move things towards the Left? No. Of course no. The Left isn't doing much other than neoliberal "free-market" crony-capitalism either. Their feet need to be held to fire and reminded they have a lot to lose as well if another Trump is elected again.
