If we win, but by small numbers, we hold back the madness, probably. At least to some extenet.

If the Status Quo is maintained, this will get worse, at about the same rate. So we'll be a mess, but will probably surive

If the MAGAts actually signficantly advance. We're fucked. Democracy is essntially dead. The deck will have been stacked against us too much.

In my feeling, this may be it.

MAYBE a Presidential win in 2028 staunchs the blood for a bit, but if Trump continues his attacks on voting rights, there'a a good chance we'll never have a fair election again.
