I hope Democrats are taking notes on how all the GOP stonewalling and delay tactics work

Because precedent.

When we inevitably return to power in the WH I will more than happily turn a blind eye when and if democrats return the favor a thousand times over. In fact, I hope we abuse the powers of government so badly that republicans get onboard with making certain that what we're seeing with today's corrupt GOP/WH, they setup a policing force to make it an absolute certainty that if this kind of corrupt practice occurs again, people are swiftly arrested, charged with treason, and punished punitively.

is adding states and reforming the supreme court. If we use the same tactics they are now once we get back the government they will selectively forget they started the whole thing and will be even more corrupt the next time there is a republican president. We have to make it hard for them control the senate which controls the supreme court and to do that we must add states.
