I would like to think: what doesn't kill us makes us stronger. There's an argument to be made that the US system of checks and balances will be stronger after all of this. We just haven't seen it in action, yet...
I believe the pendulum will swing back eventually, but I don't know anyone in my communities who believes minority groups will come out of this doing better than they were in 2020. The Democrat party is giving no indication that they intend to strengthen protection for minority groups, especially transexual people, when they are able to.
