They have their shit together. This is how they operate. Next election will be more of exactly the same.

A technical note: they need to sort their communication out earlier, by the midterm congressional election. Apparently, their communication didn't reach the voters, and voters were in a mood for hearing sweet lies from a criminal oligarch. They need to think of how to change that...

US society needs to somehow withstand 2 years of Trump running loose.

One can also hope that some senators or representatives are old enough to retire (or courageous enough to defect), changing the composition of the Congress before that. That might prevent or slow Trump from steamrolling new laws into force, until something has been figured out.

Yeah, Trump is stupid, but he's also self-centered. He's gonna care about making himself a dictator eventually, but he's got a lot of vengeance to start with. I don't think it's unreasonable to hope that we'll still have elections by 2026, and that there'll be a moment to throw a stick in the spoke.
