Dems should do multiple Motions to Vacate the Speaker in the House, and Filibusters in the Senate.
Like blocking traffic, but more effective.

The rules are set at beginning of each Congress, and they may decide to not put the same clause in their rules about vacating leader.
They won't be as wishy washy as Democrats when it comes to eliminating filibuster.

no matter what McConnell says. Trump will demand it and they will bow down. And likely not pay a price; the Senate map two years from now isn't great for us.
We may win a battle or two here or there going forward, but we lost the war. The damage that is about to be done will last generations.
