    I know it’s not a very hip position right now but I think the incoming administration will turn out to be mostly hype. They’ll get bogged down trying to get the blue states to comply with some insane piece of legislation on something with no federal jurisdiction, and blame their failure to do anything on that.

      I mean they have the presidency, the house, the Senate, and the supreme court, gonna be difficult to lay the blame.

        They had the same situation the first two years of Trump’s first presidency. The blame did no good.

        Mostly what saved us before was the incompetence, and that’s already rearing its head again. Stupid thing to rely upon, though.

      I’m sorry, but that sounds like copium to me. Why would this fascist authoritarian regime be less successful than all of the other big fascist authoritarian regimes in history? They don’t care about the law.

        They already had to drop Gaetz as a nominee. Likely because too many R senators said nah.

        While I’m not going to say this will happen with all the other crazy proposals. If some Copium helps us get through the next 2 years minimum, and we can stay in the fight, maybe we can hold on to this place.

        Even fentanyl works on pain for a while, let’s just hope the country isn’t in hospice yet.

      I’m thinking similarly and that the Democrats will use the Senate filibuster to block as many things as they can. Of course, conservatives may end up changing the filibuster and ram through all their terrible policies, then they’d only have until the midterms to pass all the crazy stuff they want to pass. Unless they figure out an illegitimate way to stay in power and go full fascist authoritarian on us. No matter what, the next few years are gonna be terrible.
