American politics

That's true. Could be the kick in the ass the democrats need; that and the success/relative success in last night's elections. They really need to pull themselves together.

It was good to see that Musk couldn't buy that election, though he tried (almost certainly illegally).

Time is of the essence for the dems if they want American to exist as a functioning, albeit utterly flawed, democracy, but only some in the opposition realise it. Others, like Schumer for example, think they can wait it out and all the bad men will eventually go away. They have learned nothing from the history of such movements. The speed at which the Trump administration is dismantling the institutions of the state is remarkable. There will be nothing left but the king and his army if they don't mobilise quickly to stop it.

How do they mobilize? Genuine question. There is no Party leader to get behind. Another flaw in the US system unfortunately.

There are leaders in the dem party but they are not in leadership positions. The current dem leadership is an anachronism, and frankly they are partially to blame for where the country finds itself now. Maybe they think their wealth will shield them, but it won't.

I have a lot more to say on this but my garden is calling :smirk:
 
I still find the superlatives so weird to watch


“More than, ever before, worst in history, best in our history, fantastic, tremendous, great threat”


He has such a repetitive manner of speaking. It always feels like he his speeches are scripts that will be filled in for any kind of situation.
 
The only thing that may make the cult turn against Trump is when they are severely hit in their pocket. Tarrifs, reduction in available labour because of their immigration policy, isolationism and protectionism.. That's going to hit the American economy and then the American public hard.

It's all Biden's fault, though. And Democrats. And gays, Mexicans, Greta Thunberg, immigrants, Canadians, liberals, etc. There's always a spacegoat other than Trump, and the MAGA cult will believe whatever gibberish coming out of that orange mouth.
