Comment on If the next pres. is a Democrat and wants to roll back all of Trumps bullshit. How can they do that quickly and efficiently?

Things the Executive can do alone:

Executive order rescinding all Trumps EOs
Abolish ICE and dissolve DHS. Trump did it with USAID so I don’t want to hear “Congress has to approve it”.
Instruct the DOJ to prosecute ICE agents and investigate anyone on the Epstein Files.
Instruct the DOJ to prosecute all Trump Admin officials. (Put Steven Miller in a pillory on the national mall)
End all govt contracts with Palantir and Elon Musk’s companies.
Hand Pete Hegeseth and Marco Rubio over to the ICC for boat bombings.
Stop the White House ballroom and all other vanity projects.

Things they need Congress to do:

End/Reverse Citizens United
Expand the Supreme Court
Impeach all Trump judicial nominees. Especially Emile Bove and Aileen Cannon.
Expand the House of Representatives.

Truthfully, Trump has done irreparable damage to the US both domestically and internationally. I don’t think most of us will live to see it fully rolled back. The most important thing the next Dem president can do is punish the Trump admin. Show that there are consequences and the rule of law matters.

Bingo.

It"s a tale as old as time. If bad behavior isn’t punished, it continues. The single most important thing the next admin can do is make sure there are HARSH punishments for the criminals and traitors in our midst.

Beyond that there needs to be serious pushes to expand the Supreme Court to address its corruption. And a million other things.

But yeah, you’re right. Most of us won’t live to see a full recovery from this. Everyone should remember that when interfacing with their conservative friends/family. If you still have them. I’ve broken ties because I don’t need that kind of filth in my life.

I would vote so hard for any party/candidate with all these items as their primary objective. But most of these sure as hell aren’t going to be on the Democrats’ plan of action.

  Democrat manifesto:
  
  “We aren’t Trump!”

  Most of these are popular and achievable by someone who has the fucking guts.

    Right, but that last condition excludes almost all the democrats

    I agree, but the Venn diagram of “is a member of the Democratic Party” and “has the fucking guts” is close to two separate circles. Which is why I said what I said.

We’ll be lucky if we get half of that. We don’t have a two party system - we have a bipolar one party system.

  You’re not wrong. I think there’s very achievable goals in that list it’s just whether we get another feckless centrist Dem or someone with some actual balls.
