Interesting that people believe we’re gonna have elections where Dems are allowed to win.
This country never course corrects after a seizure of executive power, so yes, that could happen.
But, if historical patterns hold true, Trump will lose Congress in the midterms. Clinton, Dubya, Obama, and Trump all went into office with Congress and lost control at the mid-terms, so it’s fairly strong pattern.
Not that it matters much. Dems are conservatives too.
Btw, Turkey is still recognized as a Democracy lolol
By who, trump?
Like… most of the EU
If they weren’t considered a democracy, they’d be suspended from EU membership, but here we are… 👀
Edit: Apparantly I remembered wrong the Turkey isn’t in the EU? 🤔 News be too depressing and I can’t even remember shit anymore.
Sounds like there might be some sort of politics behind all this.
I don’t think so, the European Union is a famously apolitical organization.
I stopped looking at the news for eleven seconds, what fresh hell did I miss?
Just doing the math. Hypothetically speaking, nothing is stopping the next Democrat President from appointing George Soros to the head of DOGE.
All jokes aside
DOGE isn’t a thing except in the diseased brain of Elonia Mush. It’s not a federal entity of any kind.
And George Soros being some kind of secret mastermind is also a right wing fever dream. Democrats wouldn’t have any interest in doing such a thing
I am interested now! I want to see the democrats attempt to get away with this shit. I want to hear, not see, my grandmother raised from the dead to clutch her pearls if she even caught wind of such a thing.
I think you might kill every MAGA in one fell swoop from the collective gasp that depleted enough oxygen in their general vicinity so that they all died of suffocation.
Uh. Okay.
Zima blue? That you? I too long for the endless hours traversing swimming pools with my purpose so defined, and my life full of meaning.
With the Supreme Court giving presidents immunity for “official actions” if you became president nothings really stopping you from just executing people you don’t like. Installing someone like Musky? Sure, why the fuck not.
Well…let me ask you this: how attached are you to your current hairstyle?
Well, not the DOGE part. But yeah, I think that a dem sweep in the midterms is possible. And that a Democrat could win, assuming there is an election. The people who staff the polling places are community members, and you can still run for local office if you want to, and try to make your way up.
Oh, so you just think Dems will get into power, play neo-libs for 4 years and hand back the torch?
Right, mmmhm…
Even if a Bernie-like candidate wins presidency, no progressive policy will be passed.
Unless you somehow find a progressive in 218 congressional districts to win elections, and people to stand election in at least at least 25 states (for their 50 senate seats).
Yea its fucked.
Yeah. I am old so have watched this game a long time.
And you’ve seen a foreign born oligarch tear apart the federal government by his own grubby hands?
