If Trump gets to appoint two more Christofascists, not till 22nd Century.

Unless....

Democrats take action next year and then: end filibuster, make DC (and perhaps Puerto Rico) a state, expand Supreme Court to 13 - 15, impeach and remove sitting Justices who perjured themselves in their confirmation hearings, AND take the necessary steps to overturn Citizens United and try to return sanity to campaign financing.

But unlikely to happen, so see above.
