  Shenanigans. This is fear mongering and will just lead to people not bothering to vote.

  You know I’ve had this feeling for a long time. But I really have it now.

  Look at everything going on, everything he’s doing. If AOC (arbitrary example, but he’ll call any Democrat a “radical marxist” through the entire campaign no matter who it is) is elected in 2028, he and his handlers will go “well, at least it will take them a long time to unfuck things.” No, there’s no way that happens.

  Maybe we’ll get an honest election and maybe we’ll learn the results of it. I don’t think he leaves in Jan 2029 without a fight no matter who wins, unless it’s Vance, and maybe not even then.

  And to be clear, there’s no way the Dems will run AOC. We’ll probably get someone even further right than Kamala or Biden since it seems to be Republican votes they actually want now.

  I only have hope for 2028 actually resulting in Trump no longer being president if the cheeseburgers take him before then, or the 2026 midterms are not only a blue wave, but also entirely above board and free of shenanigans.

    The reality is there will be no blue wave in the mid terms. Image and think on that and how fucked we might be…

    FYI, the progressives won the last DNC election. The old guard no longer calls the shots, which is why they are getting more & more desperate to try to appear that they are still calling the shots.

    We’re getting my family ready to leave if the ‘26 elections aren’t fair and a blue wave. If my fellow morons haven’t figured it out by next year there’s not going to me anything left to fight with besides our quite fragile lives.

      Unless we win the lottery or my long lost cousin from somewhereelseistan calls to let me know they’ve got a spot for us, we’re sheltering in place unfortunately.
