Anything they do legislatively can be undone. Oh yes, there will be damage and hardship but maybe that's what we needed to wake up out of our complacency. As many other people have stated, a democratically elected representative form of government is not a spectator sport. We've been sitting on the sidelines expecting other people to take care of our business. Bad move on our part.

On the other hand, my father who was a pretty smart guy, told me this after I had made a bad choice in dealing with a hornets' nest. He said "Billy you've got three choices with those things and only two of the choices have the possibility of a good outcome. Ya either leave them alone and stay away from them or we remove the nest and wipe it out completely. What you don't do is poke it with a stick."

Trump and the cabal are poking us with a stick. Bad move on their part.
