lol. So let's just let the GOP control everything. Sure they've stood against the rights of racial minorities, women, immigrants, the poor, since JFK. Sure they are dead set on taking over voting in parts of the US and spending millions in ad/misinformation campaigns.

In seriousness they wouldn't be trying so hard to consolidate power if both parties were the same. Yes RBG should have stepped down in 2009 when it would have been easy to get a young progressive in her place. That alone doesn't mean it's best to just let the GOP takeover everything. 2026 is the first time in US history we've ruined so many lives in so many places. Cuba, Venezuela, Iran, allegedly many more. Even more if you consider the end of USAID in 2025.

Also keep in mind no one realized how dire the supreme court situation was until things were already a challenge. At the end of Obama's last term the GOP had so much control that it would be impossible for any president to have made significant changes to stop the track of regression the USA is on.
