14. Do it. Fight fire with fire. The fate of the Union of the States hangs in the balance.

We simply must control the Executive and both Houses of Congress come Jan 20th, 2029.

The first 2 years of a Dem POTUS (Jan 20, 2029 to Jan 3rd, 2031), plus hopefully the 2nd two years as well if we maintain congressional control in the 2030 midterms, are so vital to not just starting to roll back the insane structural damage of the Trumpian era, but also to find workarounds when the new post-2030 census massive pro-Rethug/Red state reapportionment hits us hard in the 2032 midterms and beyond.

If we fail to run the table (POTUS, House, Senate) in 2028 the nation is well fucked, unless we somehow (after winning the POTUS in 2028) can gain control of both House and Senate in 2030.

If we lose the POTUS in 2028 we are in even worse shape, and if the Rethugs have control of both POTUS and both chambers the nation is in true doomsday territory, even moreso if they have full control until 2032, when the House and Electoral College maps swing, for a decade or longer, massively in their favour.
