Democrats are seeking to check Trump’s power and are preparing for early fights on government spending. Other challenges include chronic budget deficits, tariffs, artificial intelligence and difficult choices about a Social Security system that could run short of money in as little as six years.
But as long as rising prices keep making middle-class lives less affordable, Democrats and Republicans alike face the risk of angering and alienating voters in the next election cycle.
“Until inflation and interest rates are under control, the likelihood of change elections is going to be high on an ongoing basis,” said Marc Goldwein, senior vice president at the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget.
That is definitely the strongest possibility. Historical trends can’t be ignored, as Donald learned when he tried to resist the virtual certainty that a president always loses Congress in the mid-terms.
But this isn’t his first time round either. I don’t think he’s the mastermind behind any of this, but whoever is must have planned for historical trends.
My guess is martial law type of thing sometime before the new crop takes office. An Iran strike on USA soil would do that… it would take a decade to prove it was just George W. Bush again. ;)
Another Jan 6 type of thing maybe. However, I am not sure if it will be any more effective than Jan 6—outside of optics.
I guess the question is, are the rich people ready for civil war, or do they want to put it off another 2 years?
They did. That’s why they went so hard for gerrymandering and rebooting the Gestapo, and all it did was piss people off in bipartisan fashion. They failed. Heck, my state, ruby red Missouri, voted down the gerrymandered Donald map they tried to force through here.
There isn’t going to be a civil war. (But that won’t stop people from fantasizing about it.)
That suspicion will be confirmed in January. On one hand, I hope nothing happens and it’s just status quo USA politics (nuts). On the other, maybe it’s time the USA had socialized healthcare?
You pick.
We’ll see.
Everyone told me I was insane and downvoted me to hell when I confidently predicted the mid-terms would happen without incident, so I’m confident I’m right.
Well, January 3rd is the day you can say “without incident”
It will be.
Same ole America then. No thanks lmfao.
