Pelosi could you just keep your mouth shut for a bit. Dems are on a roll for once and we don’t need you ruining it. Go back to puppeting Feinstein or something. Please just stay out of the news until we actually win the election.
I’ve been saying this for years. The US isn’t special, and Trump was foretold the first time after seeing the rise in populism, particularly self-defeating, across Europe.
Populism has essentially wiped out standard Conservativism in politics, and while many ride the wave due to party affiliation, many also feel that the party they’ve supported for decades has been hijacked by grifters.
Thankfully, it usually ends one way, with semi-credible opposition in victory, and the now-populist party in tatters after the rats leave the ship. Trump will likely make a lot of noise, but ultimately he won’t fight the popular vote because self-preservation will kick in and he’ll look to find himself somewhere to avoid lawsuits and charges for his actions. The best part is that populists never look towards succession. When Trump leaves he won’t back anyone to succeed him - if anything, anyone that tries will either be compared poorly to him, or Trump will criticise them for even trying to compete.
The best thing the GOP can do is operate away from MAGA and build itself up around a solid non-MAGA candidate. In theory, if a Harris presidency were to be successful and Walz were to decide to run, that could be 16 years without competition.
The Trump cult will not end by Democrats winning once. It is a symptom of an abandoned society.
Trump is not even the final form. We’re already seeing sequels popping up in the likes of JD Vance.
Nonsense. For whatever reason, people follow trump with a fervor. Vance doesn’t have that.
If Trump loses his career is over. He turned sycophant in order to get the VP pick; turning on every single thing he said about Trump before that.
No one likes a sycophant. And if he then tries to return to his old positions, he’ll be ripped apart by both people who see right through it and by whatever remains of MAGA.
This is a one-shot for Vance. If they lose, he’s going down with Trump.
This inside trader should sit down.
Nancy, that’s true. And many Democrats openly want you to lose, because you’re dirty.
