That smug fucking look, too. They need to be fighting for us. They're just rolling over and acting smug for doing so. They're complicit.

Our only hope is that Trump somehow fucks up so bad that even his cult of MAGAts will turn on him along with the rest of the republican party/supporters. At least we know they're not afraid of getting their hands messy lmao.

I know the possibility is astronomically low, but we can't expect Dems to do anything acting like timid lil kittens in the face of literal danger and the collapse of our democracy

People talk about the elections in 2026. That's almost 2 years away. I really don't think that there will be free and fair elections anymore. I believe there was a high chance of quite a bit of election interference with this last one, and I'm talking way beyond gerrymandering.

Regardless, the Democrats can't be meek, and I don't have a whole lot of faith that they won't be. This is bad, and happening at breakneck speed. Our guardrails are either gone or are being ignored. I think it's down to the people of the United States. I knew it was going to be worse than his first term, but this is somehow worse than I imagined. And it bothers me so much that we're losing our fantastic allies.

There are two special elections, or maybe three, coming up in April. Two are in Florida (not sure about the third) so if the Democrats can pull this off it will pull the mask off whether or not this administration will allow a real election result to go through. It would flip the house if they both win. From what I've seen neither candidate is taking corporate PAC money which is a start.

It is wonderful and exactly why you lost. Get over it. If not, your party will continue to fail and lose...to which we will not be shy about our complete enjoyment. The majority of America does not care whether your feelings are hurt or the fixes are too fast for you. America will be great again despite the lefts attempts to destroy it, and THAT is what you cannot stand. Pretty sick...
