3. Sadly, it won't really work.

First, this Supreme Court isn't going to value consistency over partisanship. They will reverse themselves, most likely finding some tiny difference between whatever Donnie did vs. whatever aoc does.

Second, the right wing will howl, as they always do, only this time they'll actually have a point. The media will run with it and. It would play horribly. The left simply isn't as solid enough a bloc to pull this one off. We won't just ignore the rest of the country the way the right does.

Which is sad. I do think "tit-for-tat with forgiveness" is a pretty good strategy. I'm just not sure how to accomplish that, especially the way the media is, and would still be even after an aoc win.
