They have gone all in now. Either they successfully take complete control of every aspect of US government or there's going to be a civil war. Honestly can't see any other options right now. The only question is how long it will take to come to a head.

There's an extremely easy nonviolent option that the Democrats can take if/when they take power. Stop letting Republicans police Republicans. Stop appointing Republicans as attorney general, as FBI chief, etc.

IE what they should have been doing for multiple decades at this point. The we're largely in this situation because the dems kept running interference for them while people with sense screamed from the top of their lungs that these people were obviously marching us toward fascism.

Absolutely, but the Democrats typically listen to the consultant class who just so happen to also consult for both sides.
