They can't get voted out. Unless a genuinely socialist government was suddenly created out of nowhere in the USA, they're still going to hold enormous power. They'll just select another rabble-rouser to front the fascist policies they want.

To get their power diminished, the funding of politics in the USA needs completely changing - which needs a more egalitarian Supreme Court than the USA has ever seen. That means a minimum of 2 of the 6 out of the SC gone (and they won't resign - that'll have to wait for them to die of natural causes) and the appointment of judges radical enough to persuade the current 3 sensible justices to overturn the Citizens United decision. Plus reinstate the Voting Rights Act rules about not gerrymandering a Republican majority in a purple/light blue state. In fact, a constitutional amendment for fair voting is pretty much needed.

Yes, that's generational.
