Black Americans Think Protests Will Bring Change
Nothing meaningful will get done with Trump in the White House and McConnell as Senate Majority Leader. Not at the national level. Certain states and municipalities will make some reforms, but the broader national scene won't budge with Republicans in control.
What will happen to the energy of the protests? Under Murc's Law, the Democrats will be blamed for Republican intransigence. What happens if Democrats win the White House and Senate, but can't kill the filibuster. Or they do, but now Joe Manchin is the vote needed to pass any meaningful reform?
I do believe things will get better, but I don't think they will get better enough.
