This year and next represent the culmination of 60 years' worth of Republican strategy to undo the New Deal and everything decent that followed from it. Trump is the Anti-Christ, the Anti-Carter, and the Anti-FDR all rolled into one loathsome slithering package of immensely irresponsible power. Watch as the 14th Amendment gets shredded to pieces, along with any caselaw that used it as precedent. We're about to lose most of the progress from the 20th century, some from the 19th, and we'll be lucky if Trump doesn't gift himself a third term. Republican billionaires outright own the mass media, they're working on owning all the social media, they own the means of distribution for cryptocurrency, and tech like AI and quantum computing will reach maturity under their dominance.

If that's political death, then Democrats should try some -- oh wait, it isn't and we already have.

Anyhow, that's the way it seems to me.
