    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.

      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.

          Elonia

          Please don’t do this. Insulting a man by calling him a woman is just more misogyny and doesn’t help anyone.

            Calling him a woman does nothing to insult women. Stop pearl clutching. It’s an insult to the mans ego because of HIS beliefs, not ours. Buncha professional victims you lot are.

            I read it more as a lovers thing, like melonia, without the m. And trump and Elon as lovers seems about right, but it’s one of those scary trailer relationships. Like, who’s addiction will make who kill the other first? It would truly be some of the sickest dark fiction on HBO. Sadly it’s on bbc, ap, NYT, WSJ, etc. etc.

          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.

        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, 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.
