If the Democrats take the House and Senate, it will be soul-crushing if they don’t pursue a strong liberal-restoration agenda and fiercely prosecute the Republicans for engaging in blatant self dealing.
Thanks to the history I’ve lived, I don’t expect them to, especially as the DNC shows signs of capture, but it will be very sad.
Then the Republicans will get back into office, and the US will fall in earnest, possibly attacking Canada and Greenland when the government bankrupts the state, and eventually ending with China and Europe bombing the snot out of DC.
If we’re lucky, by then, chunks of the US will have seceded from the union to form smaller clusters of states, so that the entire nation doesn’t have to be conquered by the Allies.
The DNC will be too busy trying to quash the popular Socialist movement, they won’t have time for little issues like major crimes being committed by the government.
I hate that this is so plausible a scenario. I’d love to be proven wrong, I’d love to see a wave of stronger-left candidates elected in primaries and then to office, and I’d love if the party in general could see what an existential threat the current situation poses, whether one is talking about the level you’re talking about or merely forever losing any credibility with their own base assuming some vaguely normal political situation continues from where we are now.
We’re over the precipice of the collapse of the American experiment in democracy. It’s not impossible to drag us back, but it’ll take something heroic to get it done. The alternative is a long plunge down to some very sharp rocks.
Except they won’t.

I wish the Democrats were even 10% as aggressive as Republicans claim they are.
dinos are conservatives that cant be elected as a conservatives, because they arnt maga enough.
