“are you sure we’re still in the majority???”

Maybe not in terms of actual political affiliation, but I think that there are myriads of one-time liberal/left-leaning voters who, after witnessing the extremism we’ve seen in our streets and cities these past few weeks, are willing to change parties for the next election.

The next election may be it for the republic. We need both houses (in significant majorities) and the White House in order to get the American “house” back in order.

Your last sentence does seem to describe exactly what we need. We have a good Constitution if only we can get those in power to live up to their oaths of office & heed it so the rest of us can live by it. A good start might be by bringing back something that the older generation used to do as school children.....beginning the school day by the pledge of allegiance to our flag. Our present day court system would likely have a problem with that....not one reason why they should, though.
