Russ Vought's not going anywhere; neither are his friends occupying the WH. Nor do they care what Americans think of them.
There's no contempt of Congress forthcoming for either Bondi, Trump, or anyone else currently breaking the laws that Congress has passed.
And as for the clear minded youth you describe (which I'm more than happy to believe) there could very well be no democratic election for their voices. No recourse. What keeps me up nights is that there will be no recourse ahead for voting Americans. No recourse in general.

I hope you're right about the current political reality. The way I see the year ahead is that we should prepare for the worst. What happens this year, imo, will shed light on how much darkness we'll be coping with until 2028.
