You're welcome. Principled yes, short-sighted no. And the people destroying the country are the people actually destroying the country. I.e. in this case we're talking people who voted for Trump, supported him while he's in office, Trump himself, etc. Doesn't apply to people who have opposed him, regardless of what candidate they chose instead.
I'd also suggest that what we have here is the continuation of a decades-long trend. It didn't start with Trump, and it's not likely to end with him.
Speaking of which, let's say Democrats expand SCOTUS to 15. What do they do if in 2024, or 2034, or whenever Republicans get power again and expand it to 21 or whatever? Is there a plan for where that ends?
