No problem. Dumb and his Croonies will just fake the election results.
Maybe in a typical election in, say, the early 90s, before massive amounts of right-wing propaganda being shoved down "legacy" media pipelines and now for the past 20 years the "social media" pipelines...not to mention all the election fuckery being done by the conservatives.
I mean, sure, I hope the Republicans are decimated in this coming election. But I also know we are surrounded by gullible and hateful people that have next to no critical thinking or media literacy skills.
Even his foes grudgingly called him a political savant with an intuition for exploiting grievances that left so-called experts floundering.
No, we called him a psychopath with a dangerously large cult following. Experts only "floundered" because you can't reason with madness.
He's not a fucking "dark genius," just a malignant narcissist in a country that systemically rewards malignant narcissism.
Most conservatives don't care, and when they do care they don't understand.
This assumes it won't be rigged or some sort of national emergency cancels the midterms
Complete unravelling will mean they hopefully lose one house of Congress but probably won't lose the other? This is stupid fucking hyperbole.
It'd be nice if it was true, but it's not.
It's not impossible for Dems to claim both chambers, but the Senate is less likely. Especially now that Platner's out of the race.
Either way, the Senate won't have the numbers to convict in the event the House successfully impeaches, so really the best we can hope for is to stall the republican agenda until 2028. And with Schumer and Jeffries at the lead, even that's no guarantee...
But we what we can do is grow the progressive caucus, demonstrating the DSA's electability, and get a progressive chairperson in the DNC. Then in 2028, primary all the establishment Dems and run candidates people can get excited about.
It's not ideal, but nothing realistic ever is. It's either incremental progress or no progress at all, and people who claim otherwise are either childishly ignorant or attempting to derail.

Zacly. Article is hyperbole on fascists "falling apart". heh.
And yes, zacly again, no way we could get impeachment - or rather, the removal part that we actually want, and probably not another impeachment at this point.
And zacly again, we need to grow DSA / progressives.
In some ways, it'll be worse in 2028 if we did manage to win both houses - "bUt DeMoCrAtS cOnTroLleD ConGrESs" propaganda would be off the scale. I mean, fascist propagand is off the scale in general, but they'd certainly have a field day with that especially. heh.
It's bad enough that we have to worry about Dems (much less Progressives) gaining control enough to get anything done (filibuster...... meh......), but if we DO gain control, two or four years later back to Republicans Save The Nation From Democrats Who Can't Do Shit and they sit on their ass and do shit (except they DO give more money to the wealthy again)...... :sigh:
And this will only manifest if people actually vote…still tons of apathetic voters out there.
The pedophilia was fine for Trump's followers, though. They may have actually started supporting him more after that.
Concentration camps? No big deal.
Honestly, fuck everyone in this shit country.
There aren't going to be midterms.
LOL...y'all still think there will be an election this fall?
I'll bet you think that's an edgy comment, but it's just dumb, with a B. There will be a Midterm election, and MAGA will try to derail it afterwards, but it's going to be such a bloodbath, that they won't be able to do anything about it.
Why does everyone assume midterm elections will be held normally? It's totally obvious that Trump will interfere with them or cancel them altogether.
How do I know that?
Firstly, because he and his henchmen have said so repeatedly - and you should believe them when they say they're gonna do something.
Secondly, Trump trying this hard to be unpopular means he doesn't give a shit about being popular to win votes, because he knows there won't be elections.
