Will they be for real?

That would be up to all of us.

As Thom Hartmann says, “Democracy is not a spectator sport.”

that you wouldn't need an excuse to crush them in the mid terms. Just the fact that he won in 2024 is enough reason to vote heavily.

Every fucking DISASTER Dotard will inflict on America and the world, will be BLAMED ON DEMOCRATS!!

That is their playbook.

Couple jerrymandering, vote suppression and the takeover of ALL MEDIA in America will forever end actual, fair elections in the US.
We are marching towards one rule, one opinion, one objective, one truth, ONE LEADER.

Americans are so fucking stupid they WANTED THIS.....or at least they THOUGHT they did.

Until they find out what suckers they were. Then it will be too late.

I'm just hoping my SS isn't destroyed while I wait for death. Koresh help my kids and grandkids........

But what amazes me is that so many progressives and especially those who consider themselves "well informed" continued to believe that our system of government will survive and continue to function as before. Unfortunately that all ended on November 5th of this year. It's not some aberration or happenstance outlier, but a well development plan that they developed and patiently executed over decades. We can only hope that enough decent, moral, ethical and civic minded people survive to eventually rebuild our society and nation.

Ya, how did that work out for them.

2026 will not be rock bottom yet. America has to hit rock bottom before any intervention will work.
