It’s a serious question because the president is elected so it’s not just “hey you need to step down”.
- Definitely Musk shouldn’t be a part of things.
- Definitely the courts should be listened to (but what that means as a demand I don’t really understand)
- Definitely reign in the presidential orders, reduce their scope or number or SOMETHING
I mean, I’m not the guy to do this. But what exactly kind of things could be done to control this crazy ass situation?
EDIT: I’m taking about how we can restore and reform the United States, not visions for a new entity.
Demolish the senate as undemocratic, and empty the Supreme Court. Somehow end gerrymandering in the house. Federally fund elections and re-establish bribery as one of the worst felonies in our government. Put election of all positions directly in the hands of the popular vote. Allow any person in any position to be replaced at any time with referendum. Appoint a special department beyond any judicial, federal, or state authority with the sole purpose of investigating and prosecuting active representatives for unconstitutional activities. Arrest representatives for the very appearance of misconduct, frequently and constantly.
And I guess end advertising and corporate ownership in journalism so we can get actual news again.
Rank choice voting to end party dominance.
Sorry the USA basically needs to be replaced for anything to get better

CGP grey has some great videos on gerrymandering, and according to him there are 3 options to combat gerrymandering:
- Politically independent commission of appointed experts or judges to draw the boundaries (not ideal)
- Mathematically: shortest split-line method of drawing boundaries (can occasionally skew results, probability based)
- Intentional gerrymandering (benevolent) to try to make the representation as proportional as possible (odd)
I’m sure there are other options but to me the best is probably #2 paired with a single-transferable vote.
You shouldn’t change the gerrymandering, you should be changing the voting system that makes gerrymandering possible in the first place.
You can just not choose representatives based on districts.
