Terrifying. Thanks for breaking this down, Seth! What are your thoughts on 5+ Rs joining the Dems in a coalition? Unlikely, I know, but we are uncertain times...are there five more people in the House chamber that truly care more about democracy and the constitution than their political future (and physical safety)?

I added an addendum on this, make sure you check it out. I would put the odds at, I don't know, 25% or so that the Dems could peel off 5 GOP votes. Keep in mind those people would be ending their political careers. effectively. It is a big ask (at least in Washington).
Not only careers; they, their staff, and families would be immediately inundated with sick threats to life and limb.
The near decade of constant stochastic terrorism from MAGA is doing a lot of the heavy lifting of bringing an end to American democracy. Like we heard in the past few weeks, some GOP Senators wanted to vote to impeach tRump, but were too afraid for themselves and their family to do so.
Compound this with good, decent, people fleeing school boards, election workers, libraires, etc, etc... it's putting depraved MAGAts in power in every corner and crook of America from local to federal.
Those house people, who might consider voting against Trump, will see their careers end either way. Trumps main activity will be removing anyone who MIGHT not support him 100%.

They want more crazy and corruption.
Unfortunately that is magical thinking. We’ve witnessed history unfolding in real time and very few have stood up to MAGA. Very few.
