The problem with this, and so many other problems in America right now - is that they'll only ever be fixed by Democrats swinging the other direction.
The majority of whom will only go as far as they believe their corporate sponsors will allow. Preventing real progress.
This is the mechanism and economic base structure of "democracy" in the west which prevents real progress and real change from happening to the structures and systems we have.
The result? An ever increasing risk of populist fascism, which may become increasingly systemic in its use of deadly force and violent repression (yes, things can go further unless the structure itself is forced in the other direction - in a revolutionary manner).
To clarify: Only leftwing revolution can fix and prevent this happening again. Hence why Biden and establishment "leftists" were unable to prevent the current era - because it requires a revolutionary movement much further left to do these adjustments to democracy, rights, and the state of western politics.
