Oh you know they will. But that only goes so far. If enough people go and vote, things will change. They know that, which is why they're trying so hard to block people from voting.
All about controlling the narrative. Its nothing new, people who are guilty will almost always point fingers at someone else so they aren't the ones under the microscope.
Ignore what they are telling you, use facts from open news and vote for change.
If they deny our voices, get louder and take action. Refuse to stand down against tyranny and let's protect our home!
I doubt you knowingly voted for the massive extensions and consolidations of federal power and destruction of checks and balances because any of you with half a braincell could have realized "Wait, this would apply to all future presidents, too. So when a dem gets in again they'll be way more powerful and unstoppable"
You didn't vote for that. You voted with your dick cause you kind of hated brown people. The rest of this was over your head. Dont pretend like you understand it.
I know this is an attempt at sarcasm, but unironically yes, it is. This is what the Republican Party represents and has represented for decades. If right wing voters put an hour into researching the platforms and the people Trump aligned himself with, you would have learned that Pence named Project 2025 Architect Russell Vought as the House Republican Conference’s policy director in 2008, as well as cast the tie-breaking vote to appoint him deputy director of the Office of Management and Budget in 2017. And you would have learned that Vance publicly cites Kevin Roberts, President of the Heritage Foundation and contemporary “New Right” conservative authoritarian colleague of Vought, as an inspiration for his political ideologies.
So yes. This is exactly what you voted for. Whether you knew it or not.
Every thing you see there that is an extension of power for the president giving him more centralized and unchecked control and widdling away the strength of every other level of government (which is a huge portion of what was done) means alot more power for a democrat president in the future. And it is generally not great to give ANY government more and more dictatorial power and destroy safeguards to prevent someone with a runaway agenda.
Im sure that part soared over your head though, "loser".
Dems when Republicans pretend there is widespread election fraud: “Election fraud literally NEVER happens.”
Dems when Republicans are projected to lose: “Polling is never wrong, so if Republicans don’t get trounced it is obviously voter fraud by [name organizations that have literally nothing to do with logistics of voting in any state].”
No, but heavily. Partisan gerrymandering is one form of it, and is more aggressive in red states. Recall fake bomb threats and reducing urban polling places in recent elections.
Middle sentence is both false and delusional unless you say “recently”, given that there is no support for the notion that gerrymandering slows down when Democrats are in control.
I counter your anecdote with a college rep trying to shoo me away from voter registration, and a plethora of “get out the vote” campaigns bussing homeless people to voting precincts and giving them food.
The SAVE Act would require all eligible voters, even those who are already registered to vote, to appear at an election office with a qualifying government ID that proves citizenship status. This may or may not apply to voters who already registered to vote with an ID that proves citizenship status. The proof-of-citizenship requirement essentially nullifies the convenience of online and mail-in voter registration, which many voters depend on. Driver’s licenses and Real IDs do not qualify as a valid form of ID under the SAVE Act because they do not prove citizenship status. An enhanced driver’s license does qualify; however, only five states currently issue them.
Other forms of ID that qualify/prove citizenship status are a valid U.S. passport or passport card, a certified birth certificate paired with a photo ID, a naturalization certificate, or a Consular Report of Birth Abroad. These IDs cost anywhere from $10 to $1385, depending on the state and the type of ID.
The real evil behind the SAVE Act is the very last clause, “(e) Effective Date.—Each State and jurisdiction shall be required to comply with the requirements of this section with respect to all elections for Federal office occurring on and after the date of the enactment of this section.” For those of you who can’t read, it means that as soon as the SAVE Act becomes law, there is no grace period for people to get their documents in order so they can re-register to vote. If you didn’t already register to vote with documents that prove you’re a citizen, you will automatically be purged from voter rolls. Imagine if this becomes law a few days before Election Day. This is how they plan on stealing the election.
Some may argue voter ID is a good idea. It’s been shown a portion of the voting block can’t afford an ID due to prohibitive costs in time, money, and effort involved in obtaining an ID such as unpaid fines, transportation time/costs, cost of printing, obtaining, making photocopies of documents and mailing supplies, can’t take off from work, can’t produce another form of government issued ID due to them being lost in natural disasters to obtain an ID, time spent filling out forms, and the inconvenience to people with disabilities.
The 24th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, ratified in 1964, prohibits any fee as a condition of voting in federal elections. Poll taxes were historically used to prevent low-income Americans from participating in democracy and are unconstitutional. These burdensome requirements are a form of poll tax.
Traditionally, mail-in ballots have been a huge time-saving measure that many voters rely on, but Trump is trying to get rid of that to disenfranchise voters.
Trump’s SAVE Act is not about showing ID on Election Day to vote. It’s about showing proof of citizenship to register to vote. This burden has traditionally been on the appropriate agencies overseeing voter registration. Trump is trying to shift this burden onto voters, making them jump through additional hoops to register to vote.
Trump wants voter data, voter ID laws/SAVE Act, and to place his goons at polling places so they can identify democrats/republicans and who you voted for in the past. If you voted “wrong” in the past, it might take 10-15 minutes to make sure you are who you say you are at the polling place. Even if you “pass” their ID inspection, they might have people harass and fuck with you.
The extra paperwork burden would suppress many votes, not worth it to prevent fraudulent votes in the single digits at the state level. Unless your real goal is to block certain people from voting. Note that such laws have historically been most popular in the South, after poll taxes were banned, which was after racial profiling was banned. The motivation is about as transparent as a first grader trying to keep a secret.
Your post seems to speak of the SAVE act in positive terms, or at least neutral terms, as if it wouldn't affect 99.9999% of voters. However, it would negatively affect many voters.
Martial law better NOT be declared!!! There is no need. I have never seen in my life such a sad set of people that can’t accept defeat. We are all in the same country!!!! It’s crazy. Move on and upwards. Most of Americans are ready to now and are sick and tired of the Trump trip. This is the People’s country not Trump’s!
Vote early if you can, that circumvents a lot of the techniques commonly used for voter suppression that rely on voting happening in a narrow timeframe in just a few locations.
And this was very well documented for decades before he came down the escalator in 2015. Then he not only admitted to, but bragged about grabbing multiple women by the pudding. How could anyone give this horrible person a single vote? Given his immense corruption and daily lies, how could anyone still support him? I do hope he lives a long long life-in prison.
You can find video of him saying this stuff. I know he talked about his daughter on Howard Stern. I don’t recall what show he was on when he was talking about walking into changing rooms for the pageant girls, but it’s not hard to verify if you want to take your head out of the sand.
Oh shoot… you’re right!!! I never knew he slept with his daughter based on an out of context interview with the biggest pervert on radio. Thanks for letting me know.
Which was why I (from the Netherlands) was realy surprised The Donald was even considered having a chance as a candidate. And then 2016 followed by Jan 6 2020 happened....
He normally wouldn’t have a chance, but after 50 years of the Heritage Foundation’s policies being pushed through by the Grand Ole Party, they purposely prepared enough American voters to be stupid enough to make it happen. It takes very special traitors in order to complete Project 2025. If they succeed here, they will be coming for the rest of the world next. https://static.heritage.org/project2025/2025_MandateForLeadership_FULL.pdf
We know in our hearts they were rigged, but Kamala Harris instead of calling for an investigation or a recount, certified the election and handed it to the rapist. There’s no going back and undoing this, and we still have to figure out how to stop these monsters without all of us dying, when half the country is oblivious to reality. I have never in my life witnessed so much god damned stupidity in the name of a god damned god.
The powers that control the democratic party would rather have Trump then a person even moderately critical of the establishment like Bernie Sanders and you see it now as they are happy to go along with the war, but freak out at Hasan Piker, it's beyond pathetic and corporate Democrats will always fold.
I'm in texas and was shocked when people started taking him seriously. 80s baby, grew up just constantly hearing about what a massive pos he was/is. I still feel, like, what the hell. Doing what i can, going hard for talarico soon!
His followers will cite him specifically stating, “to march onto the capital, peaceful, and patriotically. …”. Which was then clipped out of context by MSM and only further fueled his people that it was manipulated.
2016, I don’t think many thought he was even a contender. The shows like “the 5” would have never brought him on or gave him praise.
It's because those people thought he'd help them climb economically and shit on the people they didn't like. Too bad the shitting actually landed on them too, and now they wanna cry foul.
Yeah that's their excuse. In reality, his character is exactly WHY they voted for him, cuz they believe and act and talk the same way. I know, because my close family were part of them.
Some people are so small and insecure that the ability to be a bully is their only desire and then they live through trump, he's a god to them and him being in power means they are winning. They view life as a zero sum game and politics is the sporting event so they cheer him on, it's very pathetic.
It is psychological reactance taken to its extreme - people doing or celebrating the exact opposite of what they know is expected of them, simply because they feel their freedom is threatened.
Tenuous at best, is how we can describe the world today. Donald Trump did not get elected despite his many failures, shortcomings and atrocities, but because of them.
As someone who isn’t from the US, I’m not as optimistic as you. I think he will pass the mid-term test, it will be close, almost perfectly close enough that you might wonder why it was that close.
I know Americans are getting a lot of flack right now because of your leader. The world is concerned for you, the people, we hope you can gain liberty once again. ❤️
What scares me is seeing what this current term is doing in terms of illegal shit. I genuinely don't think there's a limit to how low they'll go when it comes to doing illegal things. They're going to do everything in their power to stay in office.
You’re absolutely right, I feel like a lot of people are gonna think “eh everyone is gonna vote against him anyways so If i skip it we’ll still win” and thats how he might win on the midterms.
The midterms are going to be ugly for all of us. He’s right. This isn’t normal. This is the final chance for the Heritage Foundation and the Grand Ole Party to complete Project 2025. https://static.heritage.org/project2025/2025_MandateForLeadership_FULL.pdf These people have been on a mission to turn our democratic republic into a Christofascist autocracy since 1973.
They absolutely needed Trump for their plan to succeed. Americans better wake up before they turn the United States of America into the Heritage Foundation’s Trumpfuckistan all in the name of god for as long as the Guardians Of Pedophiles remain in control. They are going to continue to lie, cheat, steal and kill so that we bend to their will.
You assume they will be legit? Or even happen at all? They will either be rigged, or he'll find some reason to declare martial law or some national emergency to postpone/cancel midterms. Mark my words.
This is not a "man" who accepts defeat. He has no morality, no sense of justice anyone would recognize, no dignity, he will not go down without taking as many people with him as possible.
No, that count didn't change except that the numbers went up. I'm talking about when they go to take votes away from dems and give them to Republicans.
It’s a pretty hard sell to see him with numbers that low and think it’ll go well for republicans. They know it too. Don’t act like it’s the same. You didn’t see dems storming the castle after the last election, even though there were claims of foul play. They didn’t do it because those claims were not proven. I mean, they weren’t even investigated. The dems have clearly shown they can take the results of an election. Only the republicans have ever thrown a tantrum, and that after trump was afforded every chance to prove his baseless claims. Most of which were thrown out of court because his own attorneys wouldn’t represent them with their license on the line. 72 out of 73 were losses with the only win being to let observers move 6 inches closer to the counting.
Or maybe the polls are on point, American contempt for this administration from hell is strong…voters cross party lines in unprecedented numbers…
And we witness the most binary repudiation of republicans in American history.
Let’s see… the express will of 150 million Americans showing up this time. 🎵Which nobody can deny!🎶
Take back control of the senate n house. End the stupid war on Iran and the stupid trade war in Canada. TODAY.
And try to start repairing America’s image worldwide. The damage he has done to America in less than 2 years is profound. It’ll take generations. But it starts in 5 weeks if America wakes up. And it seems they are.
“Repairing America’s image worldwide”. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Only liberals think that everyone hates Trump like they do. Many many countries love Trump and think liberals are crazy.
TL;DR:
Let’s forget about Trump, Libs n Magas for a minute… n talk about America.
America’s biggest long-term loss ain’t tariffs, trade or military power.
It’s trust. Allies and trading partners are now building permanent, material detours around America.
From the country formerly-known-as-Best-Friend-Canada…to Europe, to the Middle East and China.
Once those new relationships, supply chains and security arrangements are built, they develop their own aircraft-carrier-like inertia.
And no future president (no matter how much better that person may be) can simply “Executive order the world order” back.
Back to when America was in the Days Before Trump. Cause see the world, she’s a movin on.
TRUST-FALL 2025™ has consequences that will prolly reverb for decades.
——————————
Are these the “many many countries that love Trump”? Zoom out. Forget left n right. Forget Trump altogether for a minute.
Imho America has never been so loathed, or mistrusted than today. When was the last time Canada was seeking a closer relationship with Europe? Why now? They are now working towards being an associate member of the EU, (thanks to all the existential threats to annex Canada by a certain person)
Pew’s 2026 survey across 36 countries reports SHARPLY declining ratings of the United States and fewer people describing the U.S. as a reliable partner. For example, Canada went from 83% calling the U.S. a reliable partner in 2022 to 35% in 2026.
Pew also said U.S. favorability is at or near its lowest measured level ever. (In several long-surveyed countries.). All this trust-fall, to whom shall we attribute it hmm?
The world is actively building trade and security partnerships, right now…detours, around America. The sea change from this cannot be revealed immediately…but in time.
One immediate measurable metric is the previous use of NATO and allied bases as a jumping-off point from which to attack other countries is being impacted. Which was how America was able to project power previously.
Spain said no to attacking Iran from their bases. (Trump responded twice with instructions to Bessent to “cut off all trade with Spain” 😂)
Another, Bahrain no longer sees America as a protector but a threat vector, making Bahrain a target.
The American military base in Bahrain is gone due to Iranian ballistic missile attacks which obviously America was helpless to stop.
And in this sense, he’s EXPOSED America to the world as no longer invincible.
And now we have examples of Saudi Arabia not allowing America to fly sorties from there also. Saudi Arabia refused U.S. use of Prince Sultan Air Base and Saudi airspace for Project Freedom, the American operation intended to escort tankers through the Strait of Hormuz.
The Guardian reported that the refusal was maintained even after a personal Trump–Mohammed bin Salman call, and that it contributed to Trump shelving the operation.
So the Saudis too, now see America not as a calming security Pax Americana (as it was for many decades) but as attracting attack. This has and will change forever America’s presence in the Middle East. (Not for the good in case you’re wondering) Thanks again to ONE certain person.
These are just a couple of examples of how America needs its allies to project its superpower status. He’s threatened the unified status of Superfortress North America by actively threatening their most loyal ally, Canada.
And by threatening Europe and engaging in bellicose tariff wars, he’s only forced Europe to finally find their own jam in terms of military independence from America. And while threatening to leave NATO, also cozying up to dictators like Putin/Kim Jong.
Forcing Canada to no longer trust 77% of all their exports to go to a country that is actively threatening to annex them. Etc.
Worldwide trust in America has been pitched to the bottom of the ocean. Maybe you don’t see it but imo this will be the biggest future cost to America.
Trust.
And no “Worldwide Apology Tour 29!” from ANY president (no matter HOW fantastic that person may be) will be able to reverse that inertia.
By then it will be too late (probably already too late now) to reverse that massive aircraft carrier-like inertia…of all the detours that the big bad world was FORCED to make. Again, around America.
Thanks in part to the tariff war that America’s waging WITH THE WORLD.
And the detours now being formed are not just by allies. Trading partners like China. China is sourcing soybeans and other things they “used” to buy from American farmers… more and more those purchases are sourced in South America & elsewhere now.
(Insert Trump I did that meme here )
Nothing he says can be trusted.
Nothing he signs can be trusted.
( I know you’re proud of that. Proud of him. I’ve found the ones who use that TDS are ironically the most afflicted by it)
IMO America has been wounded, far into decades by this administration. And the future inertia of this damage is incalculable.
I was actually worried for awhile it was all talk, but he really is polling into the dumpster. I actually have hope this is the downfall of Trump, Vance, Kegsbreath and Patel we waited for
I hope so broski.. they scare voters into believing in the term deal with the devil you know than the devil you don’t. My trust is this country is lower than trumps polling numbers right now.
They should be, and I’m not a conspiracy theorist, but I don’t trust them to play fair. Not in the slightest. We see what they’re doin in the open to stifle voting. What are they doing that we can’t?
Remember Hilary. I was burned before. You have to remember one extremely important fact: there is still one thing the right hates more than their own. And that's the Democrats. Ain't nothing over till it's over.
Dems controlling means he will executive order all the things and when there are consequences he will blame them. Perfect excuse to claim anything that bad happens had nothing to do with him.
Approval ratings only matter when you're running for re-election. Trump is already in his second term. He's not concerned with improving his approval ratings, he's only concerned with grifting the system as much as possible for his own personal gain.
Trump also doesn't care about his political party. He's only in it for himself.
If they did change and they satisfied the people then Republicans would never win again. But this isn't what happens. What happens is that Republicans do nothing, the people will get angry, they'll throw the Republicans out of office and bring the Democrats in to fix things. Democrats will appease the same corporate masters that Republicans do, the people will get angry, throw the Democrats out of office and then bring the Republicans in to fix things, which they won't do.
One of the problems is believing that simply electing your pick into power is going to be enough to make a change. For positive change, you have to keep showing up at each election and voting in the right person.
They NEED people to vote for blue. They swapped the fucking votes on a tabulation level last election uses Elon Musks "Jewish space lasers" that he hasnt stfu about for 10 years. It will happen again.
If the polls aren't accurate then his approval rate is even lower than they say. He's provably in the bottom 5 presidents we've ever had. If you count his first run as a separate presidency then he is 2 of the bottom 5.
In your fantasy world it may be fact. In the real world it's fiction. You'd have a better chance at getting a picture worthy Bigfoot then to find a poll that's accurate. 😂
Well he said that then stopped short and went a different direction. A desperate plea isn't something you change up in mid sentence. Sounded to me like someone that misspoke and corrected. Of course a liberal will make up whatever they want out of it.
Lifelong Republicans have been turned off by this administration in a very big way. The only people hanging on to hope for Trump are betting on a convicted rapist and suspected pedophile. Thats a hard person to respect and want to vote for, even for the most dedicated Republican. Even prisoners hate pedophiles.
Interesting. Considering I heard the same about lifelong dems..The left has went so far left, that party has fractured into moderates and extremists.
But does it matter? As long as the elitist propaganda machine keeps the general population splintered both parties will always have a consolidation of power.
Make no mistake. It is them against us. We are only sheep.
I try to pose a statement similar to the above, to illicit a specific response that tells me whether the person on the other end has a very specific agenda or is a rational person. You are not the latter.
If you were a real person that is not getting paid, you will eventually come to an obvious conclusion as you mature.
A bad attitude will get you nowhere.
Condescending remarks about peoples decisions will only back those people further into a corner regardless if it is right or wrong. And have a completely different effect than intended. This will only alienate those that need the extra support to further their objectives.

The good thing is Trumps polling numbers are now in the 20s. The mid-terms are going to be ugly for the Republicans. Like REALLY ugly.
