They could make it happen if they use the Epstein files as a wedge. There was lots of republican support for that, why not leverage that to get him kicked out?
you can never confidently predict they won’t do something stupid
I’d argue you can predict they will do something stupid because that’s basically all they’ve done ever since they took office
I agree, the democrat party in particular does give room to socialist policies on a more local level, just look at Mamdani (and hopefully Al-Sayed in a few weeks). If you elect enough of those and get rid of the “nothing ever happens” democrats like Schumer and Jeffreys, you can make real change happen.
Good luck trying to do that on the Republican side, the most you’ll do is vote for someone who’s slightly less Hitler but still very conservative.
Well you see, history always repeats itself if you wait long enough. I can almost guarantee that there will eventually be another Trump and that people will once again vote for him.
They won’t though, they’re mega cucked to the US (unless that suddenly changed under the new guy but I’d imagine not).
I just wish he’d get on with it. I’ve been hearing about his shitty health for what feels like a year now and somehow he’s still going.
I’ve heard the argument that people were bored with US politics and wanted to shake things up. Well, they sure managed to do that…
Yeah Biden is definitely more of a moderate right wing liberal according to most European countries standards.
I can somewhat imagine that people wanted change and decided to vote for Trump once, just to see what would happen. However, what I do not understand is the people who voted for him 2! times after that. How can you look at the endless list of shit he did in his first term and think “yeah I’ll have more of that please”.
I was visiting my American in-laws a few weeks ago and this type of thing infuriated me. They are basically hardcore Republicans who voted for Trump 3 times but don’t want to openly say it or, in the case of my mother and father in law, they keep acting like they don’t vote because “it doesn’t matter anyway”.
They then proceed to keep complaining about gas prices, grocery prices and general cost of living. My mother in law looked at the gas price and said “jeez, I wonder why gas is so expensive”. They are straight up the most ignorant people I’ve ever seen and they fit every single stereotype I have in my mind about rural voters.
And whenever I try to explain to them what the cause of all this is they just tell me that it has always been bad and that they won’t vote.
It’s one thing if you fuck yourself and your own country over (we have those voters here too in the Netherlands) but when you choose to elect someone (either by voting for them or not voting for the alternative) who has proven to be a disaster for both your country and the world as a whole it’s honestly on you and you deserve everything that comes your way, including the hate you get from people in other countries.
Edit: I forgot to add that they live in Michigan so they are even part of a crucial swing state, to make things more annoying. I tried talking to them about Abdul Al-Sayed and they didn’t even know who I was talking about.
I really love that Bo Burnham song about country songs, ever since I heard that it’s all I can hear when listening to country now. So many of the popular country songs follow that format almost exactly, it’s insane…
I sincerely hope that the dems are willing to play “dirty” at this point and out all of the files that implicate Trump the second they are sworn in. And if Trump can somehow block it, let him dig his own grave. Leak the files. Do what you have to do to sink him even more.
They have a rare opportunity to basically get a free win in the 2028 election after all that Trump’s done. Please let them take it and not fart around like old man Schumer always does.
