4 years of Democratic filibustering in the Senate?
I guess so. I've already heard some Republicans want to ban filibustering, though. They probably won't do it, though - too dangerous if the results flip back to Democrats 2-4 years in the future, and they very well might - Trump has an absurd
-23 or so net favorability rating.

Also, as might be expected, there are renewed calls to abolish the electoral college. Should have gone by the popular vote, even though it's pretty close with the popular vote.
They won't remove filibuster, they didn't do it during Bush's presidency and they were in a far better situation than they are now, realistically speaking. Bush was actually popular during his first term, but for many people, Trump was the "anti-establishment" or "anti-Clinton" vote.
Now that he
is establishment, and with no Hillary, the second most unfavorable candidate in USA history, to run against him, he's going to get creamed next election season, unless he pulls out some real meme magic and actually makes America great
again even more.

And those calls are retarded. When Brexit happened, everyone was calling to abolish
referendums. It's the same typical over-reaction of the loser faction.
I feel kinda bad now for laughing at Republicans panicking at Obama (FEMA death-camps, anyone?) and buying guns, organizing militias, emigrating to Russia, etc, now, because quite a lot of Democrats appear to be no better at losing gracefully. Lots of people saying that they'll now buy guns for self-defence (against whom?!), emigrate to Canada (and leave American permanently Republican, presumably), there were even some calls for violent revolution - though not many.
The similarity of responses between two supposedly fundamentally different sides is really uncanny. Is this what they mean by the word "identity politics"?
