    I sincerely hope that Democrats do care.

    Like it or not, MAGA can currently take that attitude. They control the SC, both chambers of Congress, and the White House. If they decide to say, “Fsck it. We’ll ignore the Demorcrats,” they’ll still have all the process in place to enact their agenda.

    MAGA doesn’t need to analyze what went wrong during the election. They got everything they wanted.

    For at least the next 2 years, Democrats will be able to do nothing that Republicans don’t approve of. The law says that they get to set the standards.

    If Democrats want any chance of checking that power or reversing it at the next election, we are the ones who need to adapt.

    There’s an “ancient Chinese saying”, “卧 薪 尝 胆”. You don’t do it because it’s fun or because you obliged to, you do it so you can win next time.
