Eh it’ll be two years before he loses control of congress, and he’s also very, very stupid to the point where he will have a hard time accomplishing his worst ideas. Of course there will be lots of bad decisions and people dying of those bad decisions, but that’s just what we call America.
I’m still in camp “what if there’s not another presidential election that isn’t an obvious sham.”
The democratic leadership is having a helluva battle right now between the old guard and some of the younger members. The Old guard maintains Harris ran a perfect campaign and voters let them down. The most visible indicator to the general public of who won will be how the committee minority leader seats shake out. Here’s hoping they manage to win and get some change. There’s no president anchoring them down so this is usually when it happens. But if the old guard wins expect another campaign of nothing more than “Not Trump”.
They’ve been having that battle for 30 years with nothing to show for it, I don’t see what will change now.
I would have done that eight years ago.
