Not too much can be done, since a ton of the country sat with their thumbs up their asses instead of voting. Republicans control all three branches of government now.
In two years, after permanent damage has been done to the government, the climate, and the economy, we may have another shot at at least slowing things down via Congress IF people actually vote for sane people.
And in four, potentially a new presidency and Congress. But that could be dicy, since there's going to be little stopping corrupt officials from screwing with democratic safeguards now that the government is teeming with freaks and degenerates under its skin.
Aside from lawsuits from Democrats, I think the federal government is going to be in complete freefall for the next two years, bare minimum. Thanks fascists and nonvoters. You really fucked the entire world this time. Fucking malicious idiots.
Because over half of this country has been convinced that acting against their own interests is in their own interests as long as they "win" some fantasy game. "We showed them!"
I do, some less savory ones but the "correct" ones are to unite and help, via a grassroots movement to mobilize the population. Show solidarity, and help groups organize to defend democracy.
Ever notice how when democrats are in power you never catch republicans being like “well what are we supposed to do?” They do absolutely everything in their power to continue to push their agendas. The Democrats and other liberals should stop being big useless babies and actually DO WHAT THEY WERE ELECTED TO DO IDK
We're in this mess because First Past The Post (FPTP) voting inherently results in a two-party system, which in turn creates polarization and extremism.
To create lasting, meaningful change we need to move away from FPTP to Rank Choice (my preference) or Proportional Representation. Thankfully, the voting process is determined at the local level (state, county, or city depending on your location) which means the goons taking over the federal government will have a much more difficult time resisting this change.
We need people in local governments pushing for this change. Once we're off FPTP a lot of other changes are going to be easier to make.
Saying the emperor has no clothes (or his clothes are made in Moscow) is the first step in doing something about it. If we all keep quiet and just go along with authoritarianism, then the fight will be over before it starts.
The Republicans are total ghouls, no doubt. But they are consistent on the matter of Russia. They support the Israelis as they're doing their atrocities, while supporting Russia. The Democrats are schizo on the matter, supporting the Israelis while they brutalize the occupied Palestinians, while pretending to be anti-colonial when it comes to Russia.
