It's a sad thing Democratic control of 38 state legislatures is so far out of reach...
...no matter how big a Blue Wave we get.
I think the only thing that could save us from another Trump-like mess in the future (if we survive Trump this time) would be Constitutional amendments that would more strongly protect Congressional oversight, provide independence of the Justice Department, protect and standardize voting rights in all states, nix the Electoral College, and limit the ability of the government officials to "play out the clock" with lengthy court battles when faced with subpoenas and court orders (just to get started).
But 3/4 of states, that's 38 of them, are required to amend the Constitution. It's generally a good idea that it's so hard to pass amendments, but Trump has shown we have some serious vulnerabilities in our system that are probably out of reach of mere ordinary federal law to fix.
Actually, even if Democrats had control of 38 states, I'm still not sure we'd be able to dump the Electoral College, because (unfortunately) I'd bet that even small-state Democrats might fight to keep their out-sized representation.
