The current majority of the senate mitch McConnell should be replaced by somebody like Mitt Romney if the Gop still has a majority. mitch has done quite enough damage to democracy for a lifetime. Lincoln is probably spinning in his grave.
Democratic leadership (Pelosi, Schumer, etc.) are continuing their catastrophic 'leadership-by-ignoring-the-problem-and-pretending-it-will-disappear-while-failing-to-hold-anyone-accountable' strategy that failed so spectacularly (McConnell packed the courts, Barr destroyed the DOJ, Pompeo trashed the State Department). $10B in weaponry will be sent to the UAE and no one knows why. Is Trump even now selling off any remaining state secrets as the GOP provides cover for a purported authoritarian coup? How is this not a constitutional crisis? The media as usual has no idea what to do, so they are forcing coverage into their safe place. Democracy may not be dead but it's clearly on life support, and only because the people rose up, brilliant activists such as Stacey Abrams and Ben Winkler took the reigns, and Marc Elias's team countered every insane lawsuit. Without new leadership in the House or any coherent messaging, we are on track to see the House majority flip in 2022.
They're just not going to let us have a functional democracy. Their policy priorities are unpopular and non-negotiable, so they're finished with democracy. They will need to be forced into submission or removed from office.
The only thing to say is "GOP Delenda Est"
