[–] AlecSadler@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 4 weeks ago (1 child) thinking that Dems will regain control is sophomoric. reversing much of what has happened will take decades upon decades - at best there may never be an armed revolt, but it's likely the only thing that would reverse the current trajectory. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] foodandart@lemmy.zip 1 point 4 weeks ago Oh that's a bit defeatist. Are we forgetting the sheer breadth and nature of the precedent that Trump is setting with his Executive Orders? The next President can use the SAME power to claw back a lot of the taxpayer dollars that has been grifted from the public. It should be a question asked of every Presidential candidate: Will you use the now expanded power - thanks to Trump - of the Office to reclaim taxpayer funds illegally taken by the prior administration? Any candidate that waffles even a bit on the answer, is out. permalink fedilink source parent
