Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

This is the project 2025 people moreso than his senile person. Their end goal, and it's not a secret, is to be able to declare martial law in districts that displease them. Not just in DC but the States as well in violation of the 10th amendment.
So this doesn't end with him.
Yeah but think about it like this - when a center pin of a family dies, like good ole meemaw or peepaw, the family kinda disbands in a way because they were really just centered around that person.
This happens in most families at one point or another. Do the people in the family change their beliefs? No, they typically don't. However the family drifts apart. They don't all get together anymore for holidays or put in as much effort with the family. They don't keep in touch as well as before. That's what we're hoping happens here.
His base isn't really as cohesive anymore as was in the past. Still strong with that sheep-like desire to follow the shepherd and be herded by the dog, but fracturing in some places due to the Epstein files and the war, inflation, etc.
This doesn't end with him, I 100% agree. However, it won't have NEAR as much steam. The new center pin of the family won't have the magnetism that child raping don has, they're truly a cult after all. Cults don't do well when they lose a leader.
Also, all of the shit trump has been hiding comes out when he goes, although that may be a drip or a deluge, no one knows yet.
It's just a reprieve after dear leader passes, the base won't long accept some Vance that can't rally the base.
It's going to make it worse really, as their new guy will be smarter presumably.
But yeah, that interregnum inbetween finding a new supreme leader is the chance to take it from them. Not likely with these democrats running the show though.

Eh, I dunno. Their MO is to work behind the scenes, often with Vance or random GOP congressmembers doing stuff. This feels a lot more like the usual from our Idiot-in-Chief
But I agree that the midterm elections are under serious threat from multiple parties, including the project 2025 assholes.
Trump won't respect the results of an election?
Like he was going to take back NYC?
take back NYC
From whom? New Yorkers? LMAO
what a shitbag

Take it back where, the Stone Age?
That's too far. He wants to go back to the 50's. A time when women were property and the CIA were just straight up running LSD brothels.
Fun history on D.C.... When the mayoral office was created in 1802, the mayor was not elected, they were appointed by the President:
https://dccouncil.gov/dc-home-rule/
The ability to elect a mayor did not actually exist until 1973(!) and the first mayoral election was 1974(!)
Lock him up.
One year, in Australia, a prime minister was elected by the people, who started putting in some socialist type systems and supports. It terrified the powers that be, and they all wrote letters to each other to enact an emergency coup.
Spoiler they did the emergency coup, and whereas usually if a person in prime ministership is removed, the next in power in that same party is then the next to take power, but they extended that they transferred power to the opposing party, nobody had voted in, because they supported the system staying as it is, funnelling all the money up to a select few, and keeping the mass populous scraping by. Some systems had already been implemented, though and after that both political parties continued on to work to slowly undermine and deconstruct as much of it as possible, whilst securing ownership of all the mass media, so they could take away the people's own comforts and basic needs, and simultaneously convince them they want it. They had to take away the things put in to benefit people, slowly, or the game would be up.

I wish the president trying to intimidate voters was surprising.
Wait, social democrat or a actual democratic socialist?
Anything slightly to the left of “fawn over Trump” is now considered “radical leftist terrorist”.
It doesn't matter to Trump.
Let's go D.C.! Call his greasy, orange bluff!
Election interference from within. Is there anything not tainted by a greedy lust for power and control anymore?
Thankfully most DC residents have cast their ballots by now. Mail-in voting is incredibly easy in D.C. and those ballots went out near the end of May. Trump's late to the party. Also most folks in D.C. hate him and many lost their jobs due to this administration.

When covering most of Trump's statements, the press has to quote parts of them directly ("take back"). That's because no one, including Trump, knows what they actually mean.

Of course he will do it, and get away with it.
Got it yet? THIS IS A FASCIST COUNTRY.
