As the 2026 midterm elections fast approach, and with assessments suggesting a potentially strong performance from Democrats, a number of top Trump administration officials may resign in an effort to avoid being “slapped with subpoenas” from a Democrat-controlled Congress, political analyst and jour...
They have no path to win midterms, and they will run first. Funny thing is that they literally have nowhere to run. 🤣
Remember even in his first term the GOP lost the midterms.
His first term was bad, but not nearly as bad. We didn’t have military occupation of our own cities. We didn’t have masked men abducting people off the streets into unmarked vans. We didn’t have a trade war with practically every other country. We didn’t have massive inflation after a prior year of massive inflation. We didn’t have suspension of food security. We didn’t have farmers being undermined by all this while a huge bailout is done to a foreign country. We weren’t mobilizing our military for an apparent invasion.
So the Democrats might have a chance. Removal from office may not be on the table, but at least some check on executive power might be exercised. We may be stuck with a PJ2025 executive branch for at least the next couple of years after that, but at least maybe there can be some mitigation. It’s at least worth a try.
Depressingly I wouldn’t characterize the last decade of elections as being as much a Republican or Democratic loss as much as pretty much every single election being a loss for whomever the perceived incumbent of the time.
I’m in Maine and the democrats picked the worst challenger they could find to upset Susan Collins. Once again they have failed to cultivate a decent group of candidates to win over an important senate seat. They’re going to throw in someone loyal to the party that they can control, and it will cost them an election.
Notably, what you have said is the democrats are so bad that it literally takes a 100% undeniable fascist takeover to let the neoliberals rule. We gotta tear it down, man. Holy fuck. Where’s option 3? Did McCarthy truly kill it?
