Having 2017 deja vu with this one.. Dems will get one term reeling from the fallout, then blamed for every horrible trailing effect and it's back to voting for Eric Trump or whatever other neanderthal GOP craps out.

Dragged down by an unpopular president, Republicans are bracing for a midterm trouncing
(www.theguardian.com)
If they do the same thing as the Biden administration - literally NOTHING - to deal with the serious national security threat that MAGA represents, then yeah, they will come roaring back even worse.
The American people have it in them to do ONE MORE flip of power to Democratic hands, and this time, the Dems better deal with the MAGA threat decisively, or it will be the end of America once and for all.
They need to charge and prosecute every MAGA for EVERY SINGLE crime they've committed. The election fraud of the 2024 election needs to be comprehensively investigated, and Trump's presidency invalidated, along with every single thing his administration did. All of his pardons are invalid, and all the Jan 6 Traitors go back to prison, along with the Honduran president, and all those crooked financial predators he released. All legislation is undone, and even Supreme Court decisions are invalid. The Supreme Court should also be expanded to 13 seats, AFTER Alito and Thomas are impeached, and Thomas and his bulldog wife are prosecuted for corruption and treason.
Every single business deal that Trump and his family made while he was president is invalid, and his entire fortune should be confiscated by the government. They won't need it, the entire family will be in jail, with the possible exception Barron and Tiffany. Tiff will be okay, since she's a gold-digging whore who married a billionaire, but Barron will be just another poor kid from an organized crime family all of whom are serving life sentences.
It should be against the law to name anything in America after Trump, or any other traitor, including Confederate War traitors.
MAGA is a domestic terrorist organization, and should be prohibited from existing.
These are the kinds of things we need the Democrats to do to take our nation back. After that, we can make sure that people get good educations with Critical Thinking Skills, health care, healthy workplaces, decent wages, affordable housing, etc., and are safe from predatory corporations and Sociopathic Oligarchs.
We need Democrats who are WARRIORS, not weakling appeasers.

The Democrats will find a way to completely mess up this opportunity.
I hate to say it but Obama and Obamacare was the last time I actually felt a president was doing a net positive for Americans.
Biden’s IRA was an amazing recovery for the country after trump completely fucked the economy. Way better than the watered-down nothingburger that ACA is. Note that it’s not Obama’s fault that the ACA turned to shit, that’s all McConnell being objectively evil and petty.
Maybe at the start but not in the watered down, Republican created bill they passedwith zero Republican support. It just further cemented the private healthcare model into law and ensured nobody would revisit it for at least a generation.

Can't wait for the DNC to give us the most mediocre selections possible, for 60% of the country to not vote, and for the fascist to once again have a majority.
(Optimistic, I know)
DNC: we can't allow extremists. Also these conservatives make some great points.
DNC: We are sick and tired of MAGA walking over us! We'll only give them half of what they want, and then the other half later.
They already have. Susan Collins VS Janet Mills in Maine. Unpopular governor running in an unpopular district, against a 40 year incumbent. Pretty sure we're gonna need an independent to steal that seat away, and no good looking candidates with 11 months left to go. Not looking good. Can't wait for the radio commercials.

Y'all going to mention the pedophilia and links to multiple murders or nah?
I want them to lose EVERY SINGLE RACE. Repeat, EVERY SINGLE RACE. Followed by an impeachment and removal of a pedo rapist that has broken every law that exists.
Won't matter what you want, if the idiots don't go out and vote.
Words lead to actions. Don't piss on people shouting for change.
What was it, half of the population reads below K6 level? Good luck with that. But yes. I'm on your side.

'Dragged down'? Oh, no. They don't get to wash away their complicity by blaming this on one man. They've been dragging themselves down for decades prior to Trump.
They enabled this president
yup. this all could have been avoided. all it would have taken is a few republicans with a moral backbone. but what the punks been saying since the 70s is true: no republicans have a moral backbone, if they did they wouldn't be republicans and most of the democrats don't have moral backbones either

Even if many Republican politicians suddenly cannot even remember hearing this name "Trump" and pretend they "didn't like the tweeting", they'll still be for all the worst policies of the Republican party.
Same goes for the Republican voters - even if they are given lifeboats to distance themselves with some new incarnation of the teabagger astroturf campaign, they'll still all just be as awful and terrible and employing vibes instead of critical thinking.
Now if only the opposition can do their part to sweep up as many voters as possible - even former Taco supporters that you can peel off - without the constant purity tests and so on. Right now, the Democrats should be more popular than they have been in a very long time, but are managing to completely fuck that up anyway.
Remember when the vote was between an old, richbitch, white, fat, senile narcissist preying on girls and women and with no clue about business or government; and a younger, black woman with experience in government and a career built on prosecuting predators? That was a slam dunk, wasn't it?
And many young democrats didn't vote for her because she wasn't saying the right things about Palestinians. That worked out well for them.
Elections require enthusiasm to win
I have yet to actually see any numbers giving this statement any sort of credibility.
Kamala got more votes than any democratic candidate has ever gotten, how does play into the whole "they didn't vote"? The reality is though, that Trump was much better at getting people to vote, both by number, but also by location. Trump spent 4 years terrifying people into thinking if they didn't vote for him, the democrats would murder babies everywhere and unleash millions of rapists upon the country. Obviously none of that was true, but enough people thought it was to terrify them into voting, because they've spent the past 18-50 years being brainwashed by fascists.
People voted, but fascist propaganda won.

Dragged down? They're fully on board with every single unpopular policy of his, including the child molesting. There's no dragging needed. They're all involved. Theyttall sinking together
Just don't have elections, then. Or just say the GOP won and contest everywhere, losing GOP reps refuse to leave until the election is 'fair'. Never admit it's fair and never leave. Then the takeover is complete as they never have to give up their positions.
I'm not confident at all, that if Trump and the GOP tried to refuse to leave, the mechanisms intended to remove them, will be allowed to function. The GOP controls everything right now, which means all the mechanisms of power, and with it the authority of those positions within the functioning of government. They can just all agree to act as if they won, just like Trump already tried to do by refusing to concede in 2016. He didn't have enough loyalists in power that time. This time around they control everything and are ensuring loyalists hold those positions so when Trump demands to stay president, all those positions** of government act like he is. That's when civil disobedience of bureaucrats and military starts happening, or civil war erupts, or America is a completely fascist state.
Yea they don't even need to try to steal the election this time, it's already stolen. These people aren't leaving they are entrenched by the crimes they are committing. They can't let law and order come back or they risk losing everything.
This article explains excellent reasons that his followers do not understand nor the people dropping support will make them go vote against him.
Organize, get people back into the fold and participate voting. When we all vote the outcomes are better. Not perfect, just not as shitty, that is better than this clusterfuck we live in today.
Personally, I would like MAGATs to be dragged down by gravity. Then swing a long while.
There will be a very convenient outbreak of extreme violence. Even though there's no legal provision to do so, Congress will allow Clownstick to "suspend" the Constitution. No election means Republicans hold power permanently.
unpopular president? how about just generally being nazis makes them all unpopular.
Dude is a pedo, what a disgrace of a country 😆
They fucked around and are going to find out. They alienated the swing voters terribly.
Our electronic voting machines are rigged, so they're not sweating anything
Don’t do that, don’t give us hope…
Brace all you want you piece of shit, you're still gonna burn.
That fucker had been working as hard as he can to get us into a war so that he can cancel the elections. His eyes lit up here: https://www.indy100.com/politics/trump/donald-trump-election-2028-war-zelensky-ukraine
