‘Complete unraveling’ of Trump and Republican project reflects attitude of not caring at all about governance He was always one step ahead. Donald Trump won the US presidency as a wildly unlikely outsider in 2016 and staged an astonishing comeback to win it again in 2024. Even his foes grudgingly called him a political savant with an intuition for exploiting grievances that left so-called experts floundering. But now they are asking if the dark genius has lost his touch. Trump is trapped in the quagmire of …
Complete unravelling will mean they hopefully lose one house of Congress but probably won’t lose the other? This is stupid fucking hyperbole.
It’d be nice if it was true, but it’s not.
It’s not impossible for Dems to claim both chambers, but the Senate is less likely. Especially now that Platner’s out of the race.
Either way, the Senate won’t have the numbers to convict in the event the House successfully impeaches, so really the best we can hope for is to stall the republican agenda until 2028. And with Schumer and Jeffries at the lead, even that’s no guarantee…
But we what we can do is grow the progressive caucus, demonstrating the DSA’s electability, and get a progressive chairperson in the DNC. Then in 2028, primary all the establishment Dems and run candidates people can get excited about.
It’s not ideal, but nothing realistic ever is. It’s either incremental progress or no progress at all, and people who claim otherwise are either childishly ignorant or attempting to derail.
Zacly. Article is hyperbole on fascists “falling apart”. heh.
And yes, zacly again, no way we could get impeachment - or rather, the removal part that we actually want, and probably not another impeachment at this point.
And zacly again, we need to grow DSA / progressives.
In some ways, it’ll be worse in 2028 if we did manage to win both houses - “bUt DeMoCrAtS cOnTroLleD ConGrESs” propaganda would be off the scale. I mean, fascist propagand is off the scale in general, but they’d certainly have a field day with that especially. heh.
It’s bad enough that we have to worry about Dems (much less Progressives) gaining control enough to get anything done (filibuster… meh…), but if we DO gain control, two or four years later back to Republicans Save The Nation From Democrats Who Can’t Do Shit and they sit on their ass and do shit (except they DO give more money to the wealthy again)… :sigh:
