History will not be kind to the orange taco Hitler, Noem, Homan and Miller who will end up being prosecuted

2. Reality Check - History will weigh in too late for it to make any difference.

History takes a long time for reassessment to occur when it is not immediate. Trump will be dead within 10 years based on US life expectancies. The others will remain in power and/or ride off into a rich post-government life long before history chimes in on them. The time gap is so long that it has no impact on current behavior and even then, people don’t care.

We have no options for immediate action. There are far too many people on the right who are jubilant about this bill and they will never participate in a nationwide protest or general strike.

Our next best option is Dems reclaiming control of at least one house of Congress during the 2026 elections so we can start investigating things, provided the elections occur. I fully expect Trump will demand people not to testify and will issue pre-emptive pardons to those who defy Contempt of Congress charges.

After that come the elections in 2028. We will need a trifecta to accomplish anything and that depends on us not having people like Manchin throwing monkey wrenches into things. Barring that, we need a Dem president to stop things like the ICE spending much like Trump has done with other spending and then hope the courts side with us.

These are all low probability scenarios in the short term and not of these will matter in the long term when history weighs in because the damage will have already been done.
