    You seem more optimistic than I am about any form of short trump term. I’d wager the Teflon don ducks the presidency in disgrace when it’s over, Dems win a single election cycle or two, then we’re right back to the m’biden fancy mustard bullshit and have another Republican within a decade. During this time, the oligarch funded Republican spin machine will be in full drive. They will institute managed democracy at the direction of oligarchs. The yokels in the country eat it up, rinse and repeat.

    I’ve seen it over and over. Not only does shit hole US&A not have the ability to reign in the oligarchs, it holds no power to punish the political class. I’m stoked more progressive candidates are running and polling well, but this cycle is a played out story imo. We’ll end up with centrist aipac approved Dems in federal office.

    They and the repubes will continue to fuck middle poors and everyone in society generally. They’ll “just miss” key votes that enrich the epstien class at the expense of education / social security / anything they can claw back. The supreme court is set for a while - that backstop will ensure no significant leftward shift in US politics.
