Between rising prices and gilded ballrooms, Trump has practically giftwrapped oppo ads for Democrats.
And Democrats will find a way to lose again.
But ramming some annointed leader down our throats.
They aren’t worried about elections because they believe the fix is in. Free and fair elections are over. Disenfranchisement, intimidation, backdoor access to vote tabulators, and straight up claiming fraud and refusing to swear in Dems that win are all part of the plan.
This is true, at least in the minds of the far reight. (spelled that way purposefully, not a typo)
Trump doing more for dems than what dems are currently doing for themselves lol.
I already can’t wait for this community to flood my inbox about Newsom in 2028, and then cry when he inevitably loses to a revived zombie hitler in 2030.
No, he’s trying to end the midterms.
You can’t lose the midterm elections if the world ends before they start.
Sometimes I think his goal is to figure out what in the hell he has to do to finally get someone to stop him
I shall ascend my funeral pile triumphantly and exult in the agony of the torturing flames.
Or maybe he is actually Ozymandias all along, giving the world a villian to rally around.
Putin’s Orange Sock Puppet giftwrapped the USA to Russia and China. The Democrats that continue to fail to help the lower class, improve income distributions and ignore socialized medicine will continue to fuck the USA in a nicer way.
Trump has practically giftwrapped oppo ads
When you’ve gerrymandered all the districts and you’re threatening to federalize state elections? When Silicon Valley owns all the venues those oppo ads would run? When your response to every defeat is to deny it is happening and double down on the military?
I just don’t think Scary Voice Ads during the Late Show With Not Steven Colbert Cause He’s Fired are going to make a huge difference.
Like, I’m not a doomer. I don’t think “Democracy is Over!” Because, if Trump had the means to make Democracy Go Away, he’d have done it during the 2025 gubernatorial races in New Jersey and Virginia. But it’s crazy to think Ad Buys are going to be what decide the next election cycle.
Maybe he knows the fix is in.
This is what I worry is the case. Either he is drinking his own kool-aid and doesn’t realize how unpopular these policies are, or he knows there will be no real election. Either scenario is very bad
We can assume there will be, at a minimum, highly visible armed ICE agents “guarding” the polling stations. This is why trump is trying to ban mail-in voting, so that only the “right voters” will make it inside.
We can also assume that will be supplemented with lawsuits, intimidation, reduced numbers (or none) of polling stations in risky areas, and extreme levels of gerrymandering.
Trump will declare himself the winner before the results are counted, and the paperwork to check that will all mysteriously disappear.
And the media will call it a “Miracle Red Wave.”
Well, I’d say he is behaving exactly like someone whose goal is to ruin his country
And the dems will still lose because they’re hopeless
If US were unlucky enough to be in a war that is going so badly that Marshall law is needed…
Weird things going on with Iran threats. Maybe after 4 hour stone age bombing campaign, mission accomplished?
More likely, oil price will keep rising as SoH closed, and regional infrastructure closed. Ground troops could be a quagmire. The weird threat is that the US will put tolls on oil (too) from the region as an act of war against the world, and retaliation from world.
Protests in US lead to Marshall law. Just doing terrible in foreign policy/war can lead to Marshall law budgeting and preventative reactions to crazy budgeting.
Er…did you mean to say Martial law ?

sorry, yes.
Donald Trump thinks he can shoot someone in the middle of 5th Avenue, and still not lose the midterms.
Which means he’s going to cheat.
Do your part. Sign up to be a poll worker.
Might not even call it. One way or another, I get the impression he doesn’t give a shit.
They are betting on there being no midterms, or provoking a 9/11 type attack and rallying support before then.
For any attack against the US, the Donvict is at the top of my list of suspects responsible at this point. It’s the new meaning of ‘America First.’
Many people are underestimating how much red and purple states are going to suppress blue votes. This is without the SAVE act suppressing an unprecedented net amount of democratic votes.
Previously we were looking at a base 3 point advantage for republicans…people got used to that. It’s estimated Trumpism expanded that to about 5% the last election…going forward it could be 8 or above. The Democrats will never will again if the save act passes. It’s just numbers.
The SAVE act is too much of a wild card variable to accurately predict, too wide reaching with too much general fuckery. Most Republican fuckery requires precision so as to prevent back firing, slow well tested and generally easy to control. This is the equivalent of calling an arty bombardment on yourself, sure you may just kill your enemies or you just blow yourself up.
Wouldn’t factor too much of it before it passes, which I suspect it never will simply because the Republicans with brain cells probably want it to stay in limbo. It’s basically a no lose situation for them if it stays just a bill they support openly even if backrooms deals have effectively killed it.
I’ve heard a lot of people talking about how the SAVE Act may actually hurt more Republican voters, as they’re significantly less likely to have a passport vs Democratic voters
This absolutely does not make it ok
