The Democrats have backed themselves into a corner with court packing

National, state, regional, and local politics. Who's doing what to whom, and what you can do about it. How-to-get-action messages are encouraged. "How the government fucked up my life" stories are encouraged. Sharing new methods for cheating on taxes is encouraged. Sample "letters to congresscritters" are encouraged. Apathy and "I can't do anything" posts are discouraged. Left, right, centrist, or any other form of political-economic systems are all up for discussion. Be prepared to defend yourself, or at least have a good line of bullshit ready. Extensive quoting of economists and philosophers is frowned upon. We want to hear what YOU have to say, not what some constipated, impotent, dead guy dreamt up while suffering from the DT's over a hundred years ago thought.

I honestly don't think they'd be dumb enough to do it, but I have been wrong before. Most people don't realize that you can just add justices to the supreme court if you're in power. Meaning that once the Republicans get back in power, they can just add justices as well.

Dems: 9? more like 13 so we can have more and legislate from the bench!
Reps: 13? more like 15 so WE can have our way

And so on and so on ad nauseam. Now you'd think, man that's a super stupid idea to set precedent. What idiot would do that? And you'd be right. But remember these are the same group of people who set the SCOTUS pick to be a simple majority vote which got Trump 3 SCOTUS picks so far. You can thank Harry Reid for that in 2006(?)
