I must believe this can happen in order to maintain hope and my sanity.

If the Democrats take back the Whitehouse, the Senate and keep control of the House; the Democrats in the Senate should immediately eliminate the filibuster. After that is done they should take every progressive idea, progressive bill, progressive law and ram it down the Republicans throats, Fucking traitors.

Moscow Mitch abused and weaponized the filibuster. He has destroyed the integrity of the Senate at every level. This cannot be allowed to happen again. We cannot elect a Democratic president and have the Republicans demand 60 votes to pass anything.

Laws must be passed for all the norms Trump has broken. The Justice Dept, the AG office, our court system, all must be reformed.

We must repeat history. In 1932 the Republicans were removed from power for 20 years. FDR transformed America with the New Deal, for the better. We must do it again.

If this happens we can call it, The New Revolution.
