That the right wing won't do everything in their power to take whatever they can.

I see 2/3rd, 3/4ths and 3/5ths depending on who knows what. The Republicans have taken control of state legislatures in blue states with some really nasty outcomes. Look at Wisconsin and Michigan for example.

The 2017 state legislative sessions began with six Democratic trifectas, 25 Republican trifectas, and 19 states under divided government.

Not a problem?
