The damage begins, as expected. What will be the first thing jammed down our throats? How long before the 1st socialist act goes through? And will they be able to increase statehood and/or pack the courts?
I think if they were to start packing courts and increasing beyond 9, simply because they lost and also lost due to timing, it would be disastrous in many ways. But will they follow through with threats?
And what about the first strike against gun rights? First 100 days?
And how long before the economy takes a downturn due to policies?
And how long and how many times will Trump be blamed for their own proven failures? It's part of their DNA to blame and never accept responsibility.

Former Hillary Clinton Spox: ‘Make DC a State,’; ‘Eliminate the Filibuster,’; Pack the Courts
Brian Fallon, a former spokesman for Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign, celebrated Democrats’ victories in the Georgia runoffs for U.S. Senate on Tuesday by urging his party to “eliminate the filibuster,” make D.C. a state, and pack the courts.
Fallon’s organization, Demand Justice, has been pushing for the expansion of the federal judiciary for months. The idea is to increase the number of federal judges and then fill the vacancies with liberal appointees, as President Jimmy Carter did.
The filibuster is a procedural rule that requires the Senate to obtain 60 votes (out of 100) to close debate and proceed to a vote. Democrats eliminated the filibuster for most judges and executive appointees. After Democrats filibustered Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch in 2017, Republicans ended the filibuster for nominees for the nation’s highest court. Many Democrats now want to eliminate the filibuster for ordinary legislation — which includes bills structuring the courts.
Fallon also referred to a proposal to grant statehood to much of what is currently the District of Columbia. Adding a 51st state in the staunchly left-wing city would also add two Democratic members to the U.S. Senate, making it much more difficult for Republicans to oppose Democratic legislation, or to win the majority back again in future Senate elections.
The Democrat-controlled House approved D.C. statehood last year; the Republican Senate declined to take up the issue.
