Yeah, if you put them back the way they were, they'll revert to the way they are: that's how you got here.

Cleaning up after fascism is a generational project. You'll have to get people to tear up things that seem like the bedrock of how the country works, what it is.

At minimum, amendments on the supreme court, the role and election of presidents, human rights, representation of states, voting rights.

It's going to be a lot. Fuck it up and you're back here all too soon.

It's a rich, vibrant reflecting pool, in full (algae) bloom.

Frankly, you put that much bullshit in the air, water, and land of DC, this is unavoidable.
