It seems that Trump has accepted that, although he was cheated, he will leave office peacefully on January 20. My question is: What do we do next? The states, courts, and congress has validated the wild inconsistencies in the voting totals so no one can bring a claim in the future. Manchin is the only person standing in the way of eliminating the filibuster and packing the courts (he will fold eventually). Republican governors and lawmakers are too weak to clean up their states.

Is this going to swing back to sanity? Even when Obama was elected, I knew that we would get another chance to turn things around. Not as optimistic this time. If that makes me a Doomer, so be it. I am hearing and reading a number of people that feel the same way and don't have the answers.
