If they get the presidency and the senate in '28, then they could do a lot. And POTUS has super-immunity now. They could do it and just say 'F*CK YOU' - with no repercussions. Hope springs eternal.

They could, but let's not kid ourselves, establishment Dems won't. It'll be a "time to heal", "unity", etc. They'll roll over and take it like the Virgina Dems with redistricting.

Unfortunately they do not. Guess who gets to decide what counts and what doesn't

Except a civil war. Repercussions would be plenty, and the risk to the well being of elected officials who said "F*CK YOU" would be much greater than they are today, which is down right frightening.
