and Senate to vote with Democrats on draconian legislation, such as nationalizing an abortion ban, birth control restrictions, abortion drugs, etc.?

I sure wouldn’t bet money on it, and if the Senate gets rid of the filibuster, it would be even worse.

Anyone expecting Congressional republicans to somehow save our Democracy I think are only fooling themselves.

The Supreme Court is gone for decades to come, and frankly I see very little hope for the future in this country.

All the battles for Civil rights, women’s rights, worker’s rights, healthcare, social security, Medicare, the environment, etc. will need to be refought from scratch, and that will take at least a generation if at all for some of it.
