People are finally waking up to this nightmare, taking steps to protest and resist it, and poking their moribund legislators to some kind of action. They are, finally, taking to the streets. Those in position to do so are using the courts, filing lawsuits and getting injunctions to stop the worst abuses. Now that everyone as caught their breath, some of the worst abuses are at least being slowed down by the judicial branch. And it's not an impossible leap, at this point, from GOP control of the legislative branch to putting enough pressure on a few members of the House and Senate to prevent a complete collapse into Christian Nationalist oligarchy.
