From the prospective of many millions of Americans, and me to some extent (actions that align with my interests and ideology are good regardless of political leadership) the country is going in the right direction.

If you throw the Senate out you'd just further embolden those in power today.

The current senate would rubber-stamp maga dropping a nuclear bomb on Seattle.

There does not seem to be any red line for them when it comes to support of the unterfuhrer.

Ok now switch the team colors and then drop the bomb on Miami or something.

Besides, this is temporary, and even now Republican senators have publicly pushed back on various things. A recent example is the $1.8 bn slush fund.
