First of all, it is very difficult to estimate how well or poorly 2026 will go. Anything beyond that is simply compounded upon with even more factors. Both Obama and Biden during their times as president made big progress with their agenda. Obamacare still being a thorn to the GOP to date. The majority of Trump's fuckery is via executive orders. The next president can come in with all of them preprinted and undo them in an hour without blinking an eye, Coming after Trump himself will be impossible, but not after his stooges. He has sold everyone down river to save his ass, making an example out of them will have to suffice. But the big point is MAGA. MAGA will implode without Trump. MAGA is a cult focused only on him. Their effect only exists if he is running, his endorsements haven't meant a thing. When he can't run anymore, that is it for both MAGA and the GOP. That voting block will go back to being inactive.

If things go on as they are then yes, though the GOP is clearly trying to rig the system as much as possible with intense gerrymanders in multiple states trying to stop it. But a lot of time between now and then. I don't see Trump disastrous policies causing things to get anything but worse, but the Dems have snatched defeat from the jaws of victory before. Let's hope they understand how and why. More on reddit.com
