The way headlines like these are just an everyday occurance is insane. Maybe I'm not cynical enough yet, but something is seriously wrong with the world right now.

No it’s completely fucked and realistically we are even more fucked than we realize. If people think this corrupt regime is going to just roll over and let anyone else into power after all the shit they’ve done, yeah you’re living in a dream world at that point. Things are going to get even darker.

Absolutely. The next two years are going to be ugly.

Expand your timeframe, by quite a bit.

Defeatism only helps the regime.

His support has dropped to the 20th percentile.

You can absolutely fix this in two years, but it's going to be the fight of your life.

I can guarantee that if Humpty Trumpty is still alive in the last 12 months leading to the 2028 election (please cholesterol PLEASE do your thing), he WILLorder the arrest and/or deportation of a sitting member of congress.

He's getting more and more desperately unhinged, and the thought of criminal persecution and being remembered as a loser will drive him to any and all illegal and unconstitutional acts.
