The one silver lining of this is that it could actually unite voters of both parties to dismantle the Electoral College once and for all.

Republicans have won their last two presidencies because of the Electoral College. I highly doubt the Republican Party establishment will want to abolish it. Our best bet to abolish the Electoral College is the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact, and that's a long shot in and of itself.

Not gonna happen. Too many smaller states have too much power to ever let that go down. You kill the EC and nobody running for President will care about 20 or so of the US states ever again.
