They did it. They won.
Future court packing, the results of which means there isn’t a conservative majority for maybe 30-50 years.

Complete obliteration of the Republican Party as it currently exists, because the voters overwhelmingly support Democratic candidates. Republicans lose control of the Senate and State houses for years, perhaps decades, as a result of their disregard for the American people now.

A Democratic controlled Congress and Presidency push through a raft of programs and laws that make it difficult for any future party to overturn due to their popularity.

A Democratic controlled Senate changes the “house rules” that effectively result in the Republican Party to never be able to push through legislation again.

Democratic controlled State houses use Census results to redraw districts to essentially write out Republican voting districts.

And so on.
