In reply to the discussion: What do you expect to change if Democrats win back the Congress and the White House in 2028? [View all]flvegan
(65,704 posts)17. The net worth of many of those congresspeople. That will change for the better (for them).
I would absolutely love to go on and on about how the new Dem majority will go scorched earth on the thieves, pedos, liars, cheats and chuds on the other side. But lets be real. They won't. It'll be all reflect and repair as always. Hours and hours of meaningless speeches doing nothing. Move forward to heal the nation without any sort of retribution. No fucking consequences.
And the rich assholes will walk. Punishment isn't in the party nature, unfortunately. For a number of reasons I suspect.
I'll leave it there. TOS and community standards and all.
For the record, I want so badly to be wrong. I want the entirety of DU to tell me how much of a moron I am, to have not had faith, not believed. How dare I. I want to be wrong.

Democrats will talk about restoring what Trump destroyed, urging bipartisanship and comity as they always do.

I expect them to move quickly on criminal investigations that were stymied by the Republicans.

I expect very little to change. ("Expect" as in "anticipate," not as in "would like to see.")
