What makes you think the Democrats are going to do anything? They had multiple slam-dunk cases against Trump during the previous administration and they either did nothing at all, or slow-rolled the investigations and then gave them up when election season rolled around again.

Nothing's going to change with the Democrats in. The authoritarianism will be done but behind the scenes much more.

Remember the whole system is filled with institutionalists who believe following in the program, no matter who sets the standards.

We need to focus on systemic change rather than populism.
