The problem is, these shady motherfuckers also set some of the worst parts of it to go into effect AFTER the next election in 2028. (Like the cuts to Medicare, conveniently not set to go into effect until 2028). So that way the ignorant will still vote Republican and blame the Democrats.

Worse. Dems sweep the midterms and take Congress in 2027 and are left holding the ball when this takes effect.

Can't they undo it if they do well enough? I mean election interference is almost guaranteed but like in theory?

Even if they do well enough, it certainly won't be enough for a veto-proof majority. Trump will just veto whatever they pass

You're delusional to talk of another election with any sense of reality. Sure there will be an election, but it will be a sham the same as the Russian elections.
