We need the opposition taking names for investigations in 2029. They're not all getting pardons.
The opposition you're talking of will hold no significant power in 2029. They currently hold a minuscule amount of power and this isn't going to skyrocket within 4 years. A meteor causing an extinction event is more likely and I don't think you're expecting that.
And significant part of those in opposition will jump the ship if they gain power. I think there is little hope for system to change unless there is total collapse and replacement.
They're just as on the take as anyone.
Think about it: you have hundreds of thousands of pages of evidence that the hyper-wealthy may have trafficked minors across state and international borders. Only one person is in prison over it, and her cell gets upgrades.
35 years ago this would have been a slam dunk for the opposition party of any republic. Instead of standing ten toes down on it, opposition leaders are doing... what exactly? Going on with business-as-usual, for the most part. They should be attempting to add language to every single bill that comes across the floor to see more done. They aren't.
I think stock trading shenanigans are far lower on the list of moral outrages, particularly given Congress' predilection for insider trading.
Not just the opposition. In other times this would have been the reason for a revolution.

Indeed, not enough people are asking why the Biden administration sat on the Epstein files for 4 years and did nothing with it.

The guy called 401(k)s a Ponzi scheme. Now, he's coming after them to loot.
He called Social Security a Ponzi scheme, not 401(k)s.
Both are your retirement funds! So…you call one, you call the other one as well.
