    Three things immediately (aside from investigations, which will take decades):

    1. Start the process to expand the supreme court. Undo citizens united and the Dobbs decision.

    2. Pass voting rights legislation and laws to restrengthen bribery/corruption accountability by public officials. (There are probably recent supreme court decisions to undo here too.)

    3. Defund ICE/dept of homeland security. Release everyone from the concentration camps. Shut all of the camps down.

    These systemic, underlying problems need addressing immediately. Everything else in the very long, generations long process of rebuilding a liberal democracy almost from scratch, will come from these three. The dark money, the weakness of checks on political corruption, the regression of women as second class citizens, the ability to fuck with elections/voters by executive order or gerrymandering - fix these things and maybe you've got a chance for some kinda future, America.

    Even if by some small chance that all of the current administration doesn't get blanket pardons and get impeached or jailed, all the problems still exist. The worst thing in the next 2 years will be noise around investigations led by Democrats that don't change anything, systemically. I fear the media and trainwreck, can't-look-away fervor around investigations is gonna miss the entire point of having democratic levers of power.
