It was a wake-up call for America. In January, Donald Trump took the oath of office, declared himself “saved by God to make America great again” and issued a barrage of executive orders. In the ensuing months the US president and his allies moved at breakneck speed and seemed indomitable.
But as 2025 draws to a close with Trump struggling to stay awake at meetings, the prevailing image is of a driver asleep at the wheel. Opinion polls suggest that Americans are turning against him. Republicans are heading for the exit ahead of congressional contests next November that look bleak for the president’s party.
“He came into office and, like a blitzkrieg, was violating laws and the constitution,” said Larry Jacobs, director of the Center for the Study of Politics and Governance at the University of Minnesota. “The American political process is slow-moving and so he was able to do things that were extraordinary.
“But this is a guy whose legacy may well be the political collapse of Republicans in this era. Put another way, rather than asking who is going to be the inheritor of the Trump mantle and the so-called Maga movement, we may be talking in a year or so about which candidates can escape the odious distinction of having been connected with Trump.”
Having 2017 deja vu with this one… Dems will get one term reeling from the fallout, then blamed for every horrible trailing effect and it’s back to voting for Eric Trump or whatever other neanderthal GOP craps out.
This.
Can’t wait for the DNC to give us the most mediocre selections possible, for 60% of the country to not vote, and for the fascist to once again have a majority.
(Optimistic, I know)
They already have. Susan Collins VS Janet Mills in Maine. Unpopular governor running in an unpopular district, against a 40 year incumbent. Pretty sure we’re gonna need an independent to steal that seat away, and no good looking candidates with 11 months left to go. Not looking good. Can’t wait for the radio commercials.
The DNC loves having people like Trump in office as it means they have to do even less for the people to get votes and power.
Fuck off with that nonsense
Just because it’s uncomfortable for you to hear doesn’t mean it’s nonsense. Willingly burying your head in the sand isn’t going to solve anything either.
They enabled this president
I mean, it’s still win for them, huge win. A lot of the government is destroyed forever, a lot of the elements that were holding the democracy together are now gone, a lot of suffering was inflicted, many people dead. That’s all what they wanted and they got it in spades. No matter what, there will be more of that for a foreseeable future.
I want them to lose EVERY SINGLE RACE. Repeat, EVERY SINGLE RACE. Followed by an impeachment and removal of a pedo rapist that has broken every law that exists.
Won’t matter what you want, if the idiots don’t go out and vote.
Words lead to actions. Don’t piss on people shouting for change.
What was it, half of the population reads below K6 level? Good luck with that. But yes. I’m on your side.
What did you achieve here? What are we doing with this exchange? Am I and the rest of the crowd just here for you as a sounding board? Go piss into a well instead of fighting against yourself next time.

Remember when the vote was between an old, richbitch, white, fat, senile narcissist preying on girls and women and with no clue about business or government; and a younger, black woman with experience in government and a career built on prosecuting predators? That was a slam dunk, wasn’t it?
And many young democrats didn’t vote for her because she wasn’t saying the right things about Palestinians. That worked out well for them.
To be fair, Trump promised to stop the wars, and he’s never lied before so they had to take him at his word to save Palestine. It was truly noble tbf.
I wouldn’t trust him if he said 2+2=4 at this point.
This is the main reason she lost, besides Teump cheating
Tell us again why she had to support Israel in spite of losing voters?
to keep a coalition in congress? the one thing the dems and republicans agree on is Israel, she wasn’t going to alienate herself politically to appease a few nut jobs who were not going to be convinced otherwise. Try being an appeasable voter base and you may be appeased at some point.
to keep a coalition in congress?
A coalition with whom exactly? I suppose that since Trump also backed the genocide, these people are now in a coalition with him instead if we’re following this logic. That means both the Dems and Republicans are aligned with Trump and you don’t see the issue with this?
she wasn’t going to alienate herself politically to appease a few nut jobs who were not going to be convinced otherwise
And yet thats exactly what she did with this and several other aspects of her campaign.
Try being an appeasable voter base and you may be appeased at some point.
“Be happy with spoiled table scraps or you won’t receive any more spoiled table scraps” is all I hear from this. Since when is it the voter base that needs to appease their leaders in order for those leaders to win elections? That is insanity.
She alienated herself from like 2% of the population that went and voted 3rd party. Low voter participation was the real winner off the election, turns out more people don’t care to vote at all. The non-voters who make up another 30% of the country don’t give a fuck about a terrorist shithole that’s soon to be a glorious trump hotel and a permanent US military base. Once again you are in the radical fringe, you have no voting base for anyone to gain or lose. We’re confident in your Jill Stien Votes in 2028 as im as confident a non-voters not gonna vote. We’re all slaves to Russian sponsored partisanship. Yay
I didn’t say be happy. I just said I can’t understand given a binary outcome you chose the worst and most obvious one. Like it’s a really easy thought process.
Foundation: I really care more about Palestine than any other political issues of our time and I want to Help! Useful info: My country is the most powerful influential country in the world and I get to choose who leads it, this will directly effect the amount of suffering in Palestine. Choices: a fucking rapist. or a prosecutor who has worked in the same office for the last 4 years. Results: voted for a rapist, who then raped my favorite cause. Conclusion: GEONOCIDE JOES FAULT
I love how the ‘alienated’ group is both so large that they’re blamed for her loss even now a year later but also so small that you’re arguing they’re fringe beliefs that weren’t worth appealing to. This is a tactic straight out of the fascist playbook, but I’m not surprised to hear that from someone who refers to Gaza as a “terrorist shithole” as if all those innocent men, women, and children locked in a literal cage deserve to be blown into a red mist just for existing.
These are such radical fringe beliefs that governments around the world have been implementing laws banning support for Gaza. Trump cracked down on universities across the country because they’re so fringe. The UK banned clothing showing support for Palestine because so few people are doing it. The ICC released arrest warrants for Netanyahu because they’re a fringe organization. It all makes so much sense 🙄
Low voter participation was the real winner off the election, turns out more people don’t care to vote at all.
The turnout for the '24 election was the second highest in recorded history, so you’re just talking out of your ass here. Furthermore non-voters wouldn’t have swayed the outcome at all. https://www.npr.org/2025/06/26/nx-s1-5447450/trump-2024-election-non-voters-coalition
I just said I can’t understand given a binary outcome you chose the worst and most obvious one. Like it’s a really easy thought process.
There’s a lot you don’t seem to understand. Perhaps consider that it isn’t really a binary choice and both of the options were the worst ones. Maybe consider that we’re a nation with hundreds of millions of people and that two darlings dictated to us by two private organizations aren’t the extent of possibilities.
We’re confident in your Jill Stien Votes in 2028 as im as confident a non-voters not gonna vote.
Now the strawman argument? Who said anything about Jill Stein?
We’re all slaves to Russian sponsored partisanship. Yay
You say as you spew a bunch of propaganda.
Conclusion: GEONOCIDE JOES FAULT
But I thought these were just fringe beliefs from a tiny minority of people that had no effect on anything?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voter_turnout_in_United_States_presidential_elections#cite_note-:0-8
Here’s a nice little spreadsheet that actually covers the voter participation. It really helps that they made 20 million voters ineligible, and the voting age population grew allowing for that high turnout number. Percentage wise it was slightly above average when it comes to participation of voting age people. Furthermore 100 million non-voters is who you try to attract during elections, not the 2 million crazies that vote 3rd party.
Lmaooo im just skim reading this and second highest in recorded history. Bro gtfoh. is that by voter participation or due to the fact the country’s population and eligible voter base was the highest it’s been in recorded history? Im not gonna read the rest of the shit because I literally credit the non-voters for winning the election. I just pointed fun at the 1.5% of the country that voted 3rd party on some fringe issues that you made up in your imagination. Now go ahead and type more disingenuous bullshit aint no one gonna read. Voter participation vs turn out lol. tough to differentiate these concepts I know.
There should have been a primary, Biden promised that he would be a one time president
YOU WILL VOTE FOR OUR CORPORATE STOOGE AND YOU WILL LIKE IT!
I would have been happy with as little as “not voting for a convicted felon and sex offender”, but here we are. I naively believed the US want that full of shitty hateful people. Boy was I wrong.
I’d have voted for a felon and sex offender - if they were honest, owned up to their shit, did their time, made amends if possible, and made genuine and necessary changes and worked on not being a pos.
I would trust that 100x more than almost any politician.
But that is so far from trump who is just a piece of shit.
Even if many Republican politicians suddenly cannot even remember hearing this name “Trump” and pretend they “didn’t like the tweeting”, they’ll still be for all the worst policies of the Republican party.
Same goes for the Republican voters - even if they are given lifeboats to distance themselves with some new incarnation of the teabagger astroturf campaign, they’ll still all just be as awful and terrible and employing vibes instead of critical thinking.
Now if only the opposition can do their part to sweep up as many voters as possible - even former Taco supporters that you can peel off - without the constant purity tests and so on. Right now, the Democrats should be more popular than they have been in a very long time, but are managing to completely fuck that up anyway.
Republicans are an enemy of democracy and the constitution
This article explains excellent reasons that his followers do not understand nor the people dropping support will make them go vote against him.
Organize, get people back into the fold and participate voting. When we all vote the outcomes are better. Not perfect, just not as shitty, that is better than this clusterfuck we live in today.
Just don’t have elections, then. Or just say the GOP won and contest everywhere, losing GOP reps refuse to leave until the election is ‘fair’. Never admit it’s fair and never leave. Then the takeover is complete as they never have to give up their positions.
I’m not confident at all, that if Trump and the GOP tried to refuse to leave, the mechanisms intended to remove them, will be allowed to function. The GOP controls everything right now, which means all the mechanisms of power, and with it the authority of those positions within the functioning of government. They can just all agree to act as if they won, just like Trump already tried to do by refusing to concede in 2016. He didn’t have enough loyalists in power that time. This time around they control everything and are ensuring loyalists hold those positions so when Trump demands to stay president, all those positions** of government act like he is. That’s when civil disobedience of bureaucrats and military starts happening, or civil war erupts, or America is a completely fascist state.
Yea they don’t even need to try to steal the election this time, it’s already stolen. These people aren’t leaving they are entrenched by the crimes they are committing. They can’t let law and order come back or they risk losing everything.
Dude is a pedo, what a disgrace of a country 😆
DNC is working overtime on how to fumble the opportunity.
There will be a very convenient outbreak of extreme violence. Even though there’s no legal provision to do so, Congress will allow Clownstick to “suspend” the Constitution. No election means Republicans hold power permanently.
Trump surrounded by MAGAt loyalists:
Our electronic voting machines are rigged, so they’re not sweating anything
Don’t do that, don’t give us hope…
