1. We could have a Gerald Ford substitution first. Unlikely but we are living through unlikely.
2. Dems are 3 votes away from majority in house — after the midterms, a Vance scandal of some sort followed by Trump impeachment, resignation (‘for health’), or death could change the whole picture. Also unlikely but these are extraordinary times. Massive anti-trust actions or threats of investigation are two tools a Democratic congress could use to drive change or reign in abuses.

The country needs to rebuild a common worldview not crafted by a sociopathic oligarchy.
