I think we need to ask ourselves what we are going to do if we cannot bounce back? If the next election is not going to restore what’s been lost?

Trying to hold onto the belief that recovery from this nightmare is possible, but JFC, what a gargantuan task it will be.

ELECTION?

You think he's gonna take a chance on losing control of BOTH Houses of Congress? 😆

TBH, I think you need to set the that expectation now, otherwise the next Dem admin will be viewed as a failure, no matter what they do. It is easy to destroy, much harder to build. It'll be years of work to rebuild what's been destroyed in the last month.

There will be no going back. We have to find a new way forward in a very different world.

There is never any going back. It's an illusionary proposition; a comforting placebo.

Only a world of hurt to Mod GOP and Wall Street will make this happen. MAGAts are too far into the cult at this point. Pain will be friendly masochism

I’m not sure how you can restore it if gets too much further along … I hope there are people smarter than I who have a plan …

Not to be hyperbolic, but how is there a fair election when they have moved to control the FEC not to mention the manipulation at the state and local level? In short, we won’t bounce back.

Not sure there will be another real election. Aren't they already trying to damage election security? https://www.wired.com/story/cisa-election-security-freeze-memo/

Here in Cali, CalExit is my answer. Or at least having Canada annex the West Coast. And yes, I’m well aware there are scores of Dem voters in red states who can’t or don’t want to leave. But wouldn’t it still be better if only SOME of us had live under fascism rather than ALL of us?
