Yeah but in the same vein he can go scorched earth on everything to his own benefit because this is it. And that’s dangerous too.
I’m still not convinced we’ll see a 2028 election but I’d be happy to be proven wrong.
Comment on Trump sides with Musk in right-wing row over worker visas

Called it, trump will side with billionaires, because he wants more money and doesn’t need votes anymore.
MAGA will revolt, and Bannon is going to try and steer them, he might try to run himself, but more likely he finds an empty suit.
They’ll lose big in the midterms, likely House and Senate, and lose even more in 2028.
This is the perfect time for progressives to seize political power, when the old guard neoliberals acted like it’s the end of the world if trump won, it’s just the likely end of their control. Kamala winning would have kept them in control of Dem primaries till 2032, and since when a Dem wins they seat the DNC chair (basically) we’d be deal with them running the only other option for way too long.
I’m more excited about the chair race than anything, it just sucks it’s basically not being covered.

Indeed.
“Why are these candidates terrible!?” everyone cries, after basically ignoring primaries and other party races.

To be fair there’s an insane amount of work put into making voters only show up on general election to vote for their team and then completely ignore politics.
That’s what both parties want, blind loyal voters with zero standards.
Unfortunately that’s easier to get on one side than the other.
