I hope they are too, but they’re definitely not. They’re gonna nationally ban abortion, amongst many other things. If anyone thinks otherwise, they’re kidding themselves.
They will probably at least slow themselves down at minimum, though and that will matter. Their majority is already narrow and there are good odds of cutting into that majority further or potentially even flipping the house if we're very lucky. They had house speakership fights for a while in 2022 with a narrow majority
They are already having some signs of potential infighting in the senate where some Republicans are trying to claim McConnell is holding a "coup" against trump by having earlier senate leader elections (McConnel is not running for senate majority leader so it's a bit more competitive)
democrats need to figure out a way to stoke the divisions.
Separate from the Dems, but The Lincoln Project did run some ads aimed literally just at Trump to make him angry at his campaign staff. Here's one example that ran on Fox News during the hours that Trump was most likely to watch it. The Trump campaign ended up sending a cease and desist over it
