Title pretty much says it.

Can I at least fantasize about Democrats frantically creating procedural bulwarks and safeguards between now and inauguration day that will have some effect and not be immediately swept away by the incoming administration?

To what degree can they have any impact on the next four years, and do we think they are pulling all the levers they can?

    Trump made considerable progress gutting the federal government his first term. Biden did not undo much of that. Courts. USPS. Environmental and scientific agencies. Also state and local level stuff. There are a lot of examples. If literal criminal convictions, treason, the federal court system (which he helped rig), etc…have not been successful until now, why would they suddenly become effective?
