Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!"

Honestly one of the most infuriating things (though far from the most damaging thing) that Trump is in the process of doing is making Gavin Newsom into a legitimate 2028 presidential candidate.
Which would end in a Democrat L most likely.
Which is fine for the ruling class
They just get to pass different policies over different terms that's all, they always benefit and the status quo remains.
Honestly, we're in such uncharted waters that I couldn't venture to guess. It may well be that Trump will be so unpopular in 2028, and his anointed replacement so uninspiring, that the MAGA demonic pact breaks. This has precedent; pretty much nobody who tries Trump's tricks in anywhere but the deepest of red areas gets any traction. It seems like it might only work for him.
Then again, it's also entirely possible that he comes out of this whole thing smelling like roses (I can't even venture a shred of a guess as to how, but he's weathered some really unpopular press, so who knows) and so whoever he puts his political weight behind goes the distance. In that case, especially if his replacement is a "moderate" MAGA (the Overton Window is stupid far right at this point), I think Newsom gets absolutely trounced in 28.
All of this assumes that Trump doesn't succumb to his clogging arteries, that he doesn't have Newsom killed, that he doesn't "cancel" the 2028 election altogether because of "something something rigged something something," that he doesn't actually just get himself back on the ticket again, that the Dems don't win a supermajority in 2026 and give him the heave-ho...a whole lot of things can happen between now and then.
Yeah those are all really good insights.
Newsom isn't likely to make it to that election, with Dump's violent rhetoric
Don't forget before this happened Newsom was doing rightwing podcast circuit talking about how conservative he really is.
This is like Elon and trump fighting, two assholes the country would be better off without
And Dems think he should be the nominee lol. I mean if you want to lose sure go with that option.
And Dems think he should be the nominee
What?
The billionaires want him to be the nominee, but even with their money he can't win a fair primary.
That's why there's the propaganda push to make the new DNC seem responsible for the bullshit "moderates" have been pulling with the party since Carter.
Trump is entirely delusional
