“It won’t be long before Democrats are back in the driver’s seat again,” Padilla added. “When that happens, all bets will be off.

Yeah I’ll believe it when I see it, I have zero faith in Democrats taking advantage of this expansion of power to do any good
i don’t recall democrats ever ‘fighting fire with fire’. they ‘play nice’ as to not offend the ones that weren’t ever gonna vote for them in the first place–then they lose next time around… and then the republicants dig an even deeper hole from which democrats have to try to climb us all out of when it’s ‘their turn’ again. thus is the downward spiral of the two party fptp system.
They reserve the clever loop holes and actual fighting for when they want to stop progressives from having power in the party.

Etc etc
After adopting the southern strategy, the only states rights that republicans care about are states rights to make their elections more rigged, persecute non-whites, and bully anyone that doesn’t fit in.
