The best we can hope is that enough Repubs get into office so that no more bills can be passed.
Let them spend the next few years bickering and preventing new spending bills.

Reinstating a Republican majority in Congress will result in the loss of our Republic and replacing it with a financially led corporatocracy. The people, except for no more than a thousand of the financial elite, will no longer have any say about their own government.

Beats being a Marxist nanny state where the government controls everything. I don't think you quite understand where we are headed. At this point, even a regime of kindergarten students would be better then the band of clowns we have in power right now.
