75. Well, no.

As the NYT points out:

"But will Mr. Trump suffer repercussions if the Republican Congress plows ahead? ... Democrats currently have little organized presence outside urban areas. Small cities and rural areas are overwhelmingly represented in Congress and state capitols by Republicans, who will do all they can to displace blame.... The party will have to beef up state committees and place a priority on activating volunteer supporters everywhere — getting people to write messages to local newspapers and social media sites, and reach out to hospitals, health care providers and nonprofits to beat the drums about losses the Republicans are inflicting.... they must be actively involved in communities damaged by Mr. Trump’s false campaign promises." Theda Skocpol, NYT, Dec. 21, 2016

In other words, it's not just going to happen while we sit back and spectate. It's going to take grass-roots on-the-ground organizing at the local level on our parts. Something we are not very good at doing.
