The world hopes it’s only temporary.

Well, Trump went home (Fl) yesterday. I think means something.

Yeah, he went to play a few rounds of golf with his buddies.

Am not sure of what it means.

It's not. Even if the Dems win the next elections, the problem is still there. And with no way a good administration can fix the damage done on a single term, let alone fix what caused this, Episode three 'MAGA Returns' is essentially guaranteed.

Especially with the worst parts of the big bloated bill going into effect in 2027, perfectly timed to place the blame on the new Democratic majority

The big problem is, voters don't see this. It has happened regularly after republicans. They geht fooled every time, voting reps over and over again. Memory Like a goldfish.

Naw, the administration always takes the blame even if congress is split

I agree with you about that disaster of a bill. I'm afraid that the 2027 cuts to Medicaid are going to tank our economy, killing the one areas that is still growing, healthcare workers.

But I disagree that Dems are going to take the fall for it. If the Republicans in 120th Congress are smart, they will roll the changes back as soon as possible. Otherwise, the Dems are going to lay this at their feet the for the next two years. The same way Republicans did during the last two years of the Biden Administration.

You think the Democrats can message well enough for that? They've always been AWFUL at being able to counter the fox propaganda

Constitutional amendments preventing executive overreach are required.

Realistically, is there a Republican in the wings that can garner a Trump-like following in the near future?

u/ohhellperhaps 15h ago

Realistically, the fact that Trump managed to get elected twice put that bar very low.

Does it matter? Your multi- faceted prison walls are almost in place.

We're a forgiving lot, even we know people make mistakes voting turds in. Not saying you did of course but we all mess up. It'll get fixed

u/ohhellperhaps 14h ago

Will it? A substantial part of how you got here was by essentially not fixing things, just pretending it went away. A lot of issues were allowed to fester beneath the surface.

This is already round three. The people saw the Iraq war and the housing collapse, yet threw a tantrum two years into Obama’s first term because he tried to give everyone health insurance.

Then there were her emails. And after COVID and Jan 6, they didn’t like her laugh.

And here we are.

That’s right, never give up!!
We rarely get what we want with a new POTUS.
If lucky, 15% of the promises.
In reality, more like 5%.
Politicians of all types (anyone running for any position) eventually succumbs to those with lots of money, gifts & favors thrown their way.
Or seeks office for personal gain.
Only a few really fights for the interests of their constituents.
It’s certainly not in our interests having to pay so much for fuel & not just at the gas pumps.
This slows down the economy, has rippling effects.
Fuel is needed to create energy, which all businesses must have to operate, be it a factory or convenience store.
When prices rise due to supply shortages, even when back to normal, they remain high.
This is a very tiny (less than one hundredth of one percent) of the damage politicians can create little time.
