Couldn't be more infuriating than apple's forced 2fa that requires a phone number. Effectively making iOS devices useless unless you have a phone number.

Democrats getting both houses of congress is not implausable, assuming we still have elections in the future.
Packing the supreme court isnt hard, just need the democrats to find their spine. And they could just rebrand it as "Balancing The Court" for PR purposes.
Now finding the states that add up to 270 electoral votes to join the i reinstate conpact, that is the biggest hurdle, but the downballot effect should win enough state legislatures if democrats win congress. Right now we're 77% of the way there. One reason I speculate why they remaing swing states havent joined is becauss they want to wait until theres a friendly congress and supreme court before trying, because there will be legal challenges to it. If congress and supreme court are in control, then I could see swing states quickly joining the interstate compact in rapid succession.
We can kinda get rid of it via National Popular Vote Interstate Compact.
First democrats need a majority in both houses in congress, as well as packing the court with more liberal judges.
Then have enough states with the required electoral vote threshold join the interstate compact.
Then have congress approve of it.
Then get the supreme court (now with liberal majority) uphold the interstate compact and rule that subsequent congressional sessions cannot revoke it. (Its currently implied that congressional approval of interstate compacts cannot be revoked, but has never been court tested)
Voila, you get popular vote. For as long as states dont start leaving the interstate compact. But at least you dont need 3/4th of state legislatures.
Smaller federal government when it comes to red states
Bigger federal government when it comes to blue states.

We're watching a political thriller irl in real time. Grab your popcorns, because you wont be getting anymore popcorn when the tariffs hit.
The other side of the coin is when kids are legitimately getting abused and it gets brushed off as a kid "acting out".
I dont think those protest voters were significant, people just think "food didnt get cheaper" and didnt felt like voting anymore. Thats your average voter mindset.
Oh, is he gonna sent federal agents to break into a state prison to free people? You know the federal government only has power when the states complies, but when shit hits the fan, we would have democratic-led states refusing to recognize the federal government, and they'll have a strong enough GDP to do so.
