A formula used by out-of-power parties to regain power:
Seek control of the 3 "c's."
Classrooms
Courtrooms
Culture
The Federalists tried this in the early 19th c.-- and failed to regain power.
It's what we're watching now.
Of course, that doesn't guarantee an outcome now. There's a reason why that approach is both logical & powerful.

It’s why Obama’s Garland nomination being stalled stings so much and the loss by Hillary so devastating.
Trump’s win allowed him to pack courts w/ conservative judges from the lowest of federal courts to the highest in the land.
Of course his win emboldened Christian Nationalists, neo Nazis and the far right as well.
I’m sure I don’t have to tell you all this but it’s been a series of dominoes falling even from before those events that brings us where we are today.
And it sucks.
