    Y’all realize there are three branches of US government right?

    Trump commands only one. And he isn’t an actual monarch or dictator. He won’t be allowed to over step too much.

    Either he’s going to be rained in or section four of the 25th amendment will be instituted.

      The other branches are now controlled by the same far right groups who largely fall in line with what Trump (or his masters) demand. There are no checks and balances now. Congress will propose and pass any legislation he wants and the supreme court will find no fault with the legislation. The public does not have to go along with anything. They have now given full control to the far right who is in lock step with their plan to dismantle the US government and rebuild it to suit their own whims. The guardrails are gone, there is no protection now.

          We already know enough. There were 20 or so seats in the House that Dems could pick up, and they needed 40 for control.

          The Senate is lost for sure.

      yes

      Trump commands only one.

      for now.

      And he isn’t an actual monarch or dictator.

      not yet.

      He won’t be allowed to over step too much.

      like last time?

      Either he’s going to be rained in or section four of the 25th amendment will be instituted.

      by whom? the magat controlled senate? maybe the magat controlled congress? oh no, it would have to be the magat controlled Supreme Court! maybe the magat controlled justice department? shit… well we can always count on Jack Smith… he’s getting fired, you say? out of a cannon, you say?

      well, when shit really hits the fan, I guess we can just ask NATO or the EU for help…

      He controls one. Hand picked asshats on the bench, and his supporters won Congress. It’s really hard to see a world where this doesn’t get drastically worse for liberals.

          Oh yeah. It will be bad for everyone, but I meant for liberal candidates in the future.

          I should have been more specific.

          If the next term doesn’t actively harm people in the public eye, I guarantee they will make it next to impossible to ever win again.

      Republicans have majority in senate. Conservatives control 2/3 branches and are coming for the house
