    I… still kind of can’t believe that all the turbolibs… seem to just think they’re going to win the midterms, and begin fixing things.

    No.

    No.

    Read a goddamned history book.

    The fascists will halt or fake or rig the elections, and then they’ll just kill you, or throw you into jail…

    Like uh, they already said as much, basically, when Kirk got got.

    Here’s Trump from the weekend:

    These all sound nice on the surface but the actual odds of any of this happening feels extremely low. Establishment dems hate their voters more than they hate Trump and that is the issue.

    That’s a good fantasy but, youve shown how easily you can alienate your allies and trust will not be rebuilt immediately.

    You will have to show that as a country youve all collectively grown.

    As a European,

    It will take a lot more than these, along with plenty of time and pain, to regain the trust of the rest if the world.

    Mostly it will require a turn, in behalf of the USA, to a functioning democracy, with checks and balances, a functioning senate and house of representatives, a functioning justice, a functioning administration, a working economy, fair trade and so on.

    I m not very optimistic that the USA will do it in my lifetime if ever.

      Don’t overestimate European leaders. They jump back to depending on US for defense at the first sign of any stabilization in US. There’s still barely any real resistance. They are doing the absolute minimum necessary to preserve sovereignty but not much more. Germany sided with US over its EU allies just couple weeks ago.

      As a other European,

      Being crass, our “leaders” aren’t super-overtly sucking off Trump because right now it’s not good PR. Von der Leyen is barely wiping the orange off her face as it is. Just wait until this simmers down just a little bit and they’ll be deepthroating him again.

      I don’t even believe most of this will happen. Whatever secret underground facility is being built under the WH will be used. Loyalists will cover for loyalists. The SC will remain compromised for ages.

    Trump has already caused decades of harm, some probably permanent. When people warned of irrevocable damage should Temp be elected, this is what they referred to.

    A single example: Iran. If they still exist when Trump leaves office or dies, they’re not going to jump back into the Iran Nuclear Deal. If we don’t want them to have nuclear weapons, Trump shouldn’t have withdrew us from the statement that was working in 2018 just because it was an Obama success! Shit like that is why we’re fucked…

    • The US will bomb another several countries for no reason

    • We will get another Republican in four years who will repeat every mistake they’ve ever made and then some

      Yes, but the bombs will be manufactured by a diverse team of forward-thinkers and dropped by the first-ever gay genocidaire.

      Actually, if Vance 25th amendments his ass after January 20, 2027, he’ll get Trump’s last 2 years, and he’ll still be eligible for two full terms.

      Oh come on, that is so ridiculous and mean.

      • America will bomb the usual, all of the, countries, but it will not be done under a madman. A very beautiful and good, specifically pro semitic, reason that doesn’t change every day will be provided.

      • Israel will have the usual pure admiration and respect for the great American democracy, and as itself is the only democracy in the middle east, America’s best friend will continue to bring genocide to the region without Epstein/Mossad kompromat on the US President. Subservience to Israel will seem completely normal again!

      • Undoing some of Trump’s most direct destructions of America, will lead oligarchy to fund complaints for not obtaining maximal supremacism and other Zionist goals, and so sure, election 4 years after will be rigged against DNC rulership, but on the bright side, DNC poltical donations will reach a new record anyway. Make DNC rich again.

      So, unlike what you said, America will be saved. A new, never before seen, Zionist warmongering, temporary DNC regime that reaches across the aisle for ZIonist harmony in its warmongering will be greated throughout the world with flowers for their liberation bombing.

    And then, after another 75 maybe 100 years of being international pariahs, the rest of the world MIGHT consider taking you people seriously again…
