    The ratchet will somehow stop ratcheting to the right?

    So Democrats will do the bare minimum or low hanging fruit decisions without making actual decisions that will potentially stop the next Republican administration from going even more authoritarian?

    Lol, so Donaldo is the cause, not a symptom/result of a 100 year trend. With him, everything bad magically disappears. Lmao.

    the institutions we worked so hard to build for decades haven't been utterly demolished and can just reappear with the stroke of a pen. the institutions we worked so hard to build for decades haven't been utterly demolished and can just reappear with the stroke of a pen.

    A bunch of delusions. It’s going to be incredibly hard to undo what he did, and it will take decades. Decades that could be spent on progress as opposed to rebuilding the basics.

    The ballroom is the scariest thing because it shows clear intent to never leave. He is treating the white house like his personal palace.

    This... There is no "coming back" with a regime change. Generational damage has been done, and won't be reverted. The apple is rotten to the core.

    Trump is the output of a govnerment system run by outside influence. Trump needs to go but the cancer will come back. Nations will find ways to work without the Americans. So many people are ready to take a quality of life hit to protect their sovereignty, something Americans aren’t willing to do at the moment

    Oh yeah, we’ll all just forget all the stuff the yanks just allowed to happen and will again when the coin flip goes the other way.

    I have a feeling, he'll only leave office in a casket. I'm from EU tho. Maybe, from here, it looks more dire than it is, but he's meddling with voting rights, press etc and started a war. That's a way dictators install themselves.

    You know, I hope that's true. And I do think rebuilding is possible. But we need stronger protections to have any hope of actually successfully rebuilding. The far right has seen how effective the Project 2025 playbook has been. We can't guarantee they won't win another election. If we don't build protections, whatever we build they'll knock down again and go further next time. We also need protections from the wealthy buying our elections - CItizens United needs to go.
