33. They would not only have to win
Tue Jan 20, 2026, 02:55 PM

The presidency, but the simple majority in the house and senate, and to really progress, they would need a Super Majority. Sadly

And, most people don't truly realize that it is the almost exclusively Pro Republican CORPORATIONS, that control the Republican Politicians.......The Republican Politicians are quite literally, the best Politicans that money can buy...(And do)
And, believe me, those Corporations have been having their way for decades, and they will not lose their immense power.
It was hard enough for FDR to introduce all the agencies, rules and regulations........It would be a long drawn out nightmare for the Dems to try to re-install all those regulatory agencies that Reagan, Cheney, and Trump's Republicans have already obliterated.
It will literally take decades of complete power to take the country back to Pre-Trump days. That is the with the stuff we DO know, and I am sure there is much that we DON'T know that has gone on by 2025 etc in the shadows...
