There won't be anything left to "turn around" because Trumpism and Muskism will be permanently baked-in for all of Washington. Trumpism is already going to control the Supreme Court for the rest of our natural lives, when does it end...?

People refuse to fucking realize that their chance to change the course of history was last Tuesday 😞
