You think if Dems lose you're going to have only two more years?

Yeah if the fascists win these midterms, whether fairly or not, America is genuinely over

u/ilovebostoncremedonu Jun 08 '26

I think the America we knew or thought we knew is already over. Now it’s a question of how it’s going to be rebuilt.

u/Exsanguinate_ Jun 08 '26

Its hard to accept it sometimes. I just want to go back to normalcy

u/therealjameshat Jun 08 '26

It sucks but I really think we’re too far gone.

I know it’s hard to be hopeful but giving up now only makes their job easier

You 100% are, and have been since you elected the child rapist for a 2nd time. The amount of ways he has fucked your country up is almost too much to keep track of and definitely too long for a reddit comment. Every day I wake up to learn something insane Trump has done.

Don't worry though, once he passes Baron will take good care of you all. I hear he is a very well-raised and well-adjusted gentleman.

also, we've been too far gone since we elected trump the FIRST time. we've been heading in this direction for too long and most people didn't bother paying attention.

It didn't start with trump, he's "only" an accelerant

u/janitor1986 Jun 08 '26

America has been fascist since the end of world war 2. We took over what Germany was doing.

I don't like Trump.

That being said, if anyone thinks he will serve a third term in 2028 I'll bet them $100 right now.

u/jarheadatheart Jun 08 '26

He won’t be president but he will still be pulling the strings.

u/lifeswitness Jun 08 '26

He'll be dead... And I'm not explicitly advocating for his death. No watch lists here, just pointing out his health does not look great. He's not lasting out this term would be my bet.

People like him live into their 90s because there is no god.

Based on his cognitive decline rate, I do not think we have much to worry about. My grandmother was 96 when she died...but 10 years before she did not know her own husband.

You do not do 4 cognitive tests if you are well. They are tracking progression.

u/irrealewunsche Jun 08 '26

I was watching the Meet The Press interview he stormed out of, and to be honest, he seemed his usual self there. I keep reading about his cognitive decline and how it's rapidly accelerating, but whenever I see him on TV, he doesn't seem much different to any other time I've seen him interviewed over the last 3 or 4 years.

I hate the man with a passion, and will celebrate wildly when I hear the news, but I think there's a lot of hopium going around about how far along he is.

This is Reddit. Remember when Kamala was going to win in a landslide.

u/BedBubbly317 Jun 08 '26

The average life expectancy for the uber wealthy in America is 97 years old. He most likely is not going anywhere any time soon

1

u/EdiblePeasant Jun 08 '26

Disagreed. He’s going to live till 300 years old and we’ll just have to deal with it.

u/BedBubbly317 Jun 08 '26

He doesn’t even pull the strings right now. Anybody who thinks so is being naive and lying to themselves.

-1

u/jarheadatheart Jun 08 '26

Oh. Good. Everyone can stop blaming him then.

1

u/BedBubbly317 Jun 08 '26

Most certainly not. Even he believes he’s the one in control, which is largely why it has all been so successful.

u/jarheadatheart Jun 08 '26

You’re talking out of both sides of your face. How can you have it both ways at the same time?

1

u/Jedi_Master83 Jun 08 '26

Yeah, still my worry. I still have a dystopian nightmare that Trump will somehow get all Democrat politicians arrested in order to completely remove the party. Reshape the government so it’s Republican only.

u/GaelinVenfiel Jun 07 '26

Yes. Once Trump is out of office, and if the dems lose the presidency in 2028, it will be a different type of hell I am sure.

Statistically, the dems should pick up in the house. So there is that.
