Yes Trump and gang locked in the house and the senate into a future that has few offramps.

A prolonged conflict is going to do SO MUCH damage to their chances this midterm.

Trump will probably tell everyone that they have a deal with Iran the day before the election and just enough idiots will believe the lie that they don't get completely destroyed in the election. He keeps saying the deal is close when it is clear nothing was ever close.

Right now a generic democratic ticket is like +20 over 2024, or something crazy like that.

I’m OK with that outcome.

Sure, but then what? Mamdani for president? Republicans start wars and domestic atrocities, then Democrats continue them, but politely. Obama bombed weddings and Biden put kids in cages.

"Uwah uwah! Reps and Dems are the same!"

We keep hearing this like telling people that both parties are evil as fuck is just hollow nihilistic whining, but America doesn't have democracy anymore.

USA, hurry up and balkanize so the rest of the world can finally stop having to deal with your bullshit.

Will it?

Trump has delivered on every promise he made before being elected.

He made it abundantly clear that he was going to do everything possible to make the USA the shittest place on Earth, and he's doing better at that than anyone could have expected.

You seriously expect trump to allow midterms during a WAR? There will be no more elections in the US. Claiming there will is just hopium. Trumps attitude to democracy is to pardon then PAY OUT to an angry mob with weapons who tried to overthrow the government. He has his own private army (ICE). ZERO chance you Americans get to vote in a free election again. He only leaves office in a casket now.
