It was a wake-up call for America. In January, Donald Trump took the oath of office, declared himself “saved by God to make America great again” and issued a barrage of executive orders. In the ensuing months the US president and his allies moved at breakneck speed and seemed indomitable.
But as 2025 draws to a close with Trump struggling to stay awake at meetings, the prevailing image is of a driver asleep at the wheel. Opinion polls suggest that Americans are turning against him. Republicans are heading for the exit ahead of congressional contests next November that look bleak for the president’s party.
“He came into office and, like a blitzkrieg, was violating laws and the constitution,” said Larry Jacobs, director of the Center for the Study of Politics and Governance at the University of Minnesota. “The American political process is slow-moving and so he was able to do things that were extraordinary.
“But this is a guy whose legacy may well be the political collapse of Republicans in this era. Put another way, rather than asking who is going to be the inheritor of the Trump mantle and the so-called Maga movement, we may be talking in a year or so about which candidates can escape the odious distinction of having been connected with Trump.”
If they do the same thing as the Biden administration - literally NOTHING - to deal with the serious national security threat that MAGA represents, then yeah, they will come roaring back even worse.
The American people have it in them to do ONE MORE flip of power to Democratic hands, and this time, the Dems better deal with the MAGA threat decisively, or it will be the end of America once and for all.
They need to charge and prosecute every MAGA for EVERY SINGLE crime they’ve committed. The election fraud of the 2024 election needs to be comprehensively investigated, and Trump’s presidency invalidated, along with every single thing his administration did. All of his pardons are invalid, and all the Jan 6 Traitors go back to prison, along with the Honduran president, and all those crooked financial predators he released. All legislation is undone, and even Supreme Court decisions are invalid. The Supreme Court should also be expanded to 13 seats, AFTER Alito and Thomas are impeached, and Thomas and his bulldog wife are prosecuted for corruption and treason.
Every single business deal that Trump and his family made while he was president is invalid, and his entire fortune should be confiscated by the government. They won’t need it, the entire family will be in jail, with the possible exception Barron and Tiffany. Tiff will be okay, since she’s a gold-digging whore who married a billionaire, but Barron will be just another poor kid from an organized crime family all of whom are serving life sentences.
It should be against the law to name anything in America after Trump, or any other traitor, including Confederate War traitors.
MAGA is a domestic terrorist organization, and should be prohibited from existing.
These are the kinds of things we need the Democrats to do to take our nation back. After that, we can make sure that people get good educations with Critical Thinking Skills, health care, healthy workplaces, decent wages, affordable housing, etc., and are safe from predatory corporations and Sociopathic Oligarchs.
We need Democrats who are WARRIORS, not weakling appeasers.
None of this is going to happen
We have to FORCE them to do it. It starts by directly telling them what we expect from them, and then only voting for candidates who are enthusiastic about going on the offense against MAGA. Any nonsense like the Michelle Obama Doctrine (“When they go low, we go high”), is a sure path to losing elections. We will only vote for candidates who show strength, courage, and righteous indignation toward MAGA treason and corruption.
The people we elect in 2026 and 2028, including the President, need to be outspoken, angry, courageous warriors, that want to crush MAGA, ruthlessly and mercilessly. Nothing less is acceptable. If those are the kinds of candidates we elect, them we will get most, if not all of those things.
We don’t need democrats to do all that, we just need citizens. It really just takes all our little communities to come together with a common goal. We need to elect people to the government who are willing to do what you just stated. The democrats are gonna have to have plenty of their own going where the republicans are. Hopefully we can figure out how to fill up the Congress with people who have (I) next to their name. We don’t need anymore political hacks, we need proper leadership.
Of course it takes Democrats, who else is going to do it? MAGA?
My happy future where nobody can get elected with a (D) or ® next to their name because partisanship has become so toxic it was renounced… is INFINITELY more likely than the democrats saving your ass in November. I’m still gonna vote for them but c’mon man, put this clown make-up on with me.
You’re preaching to the choir, Brother, I’ve been an Unafilliated Independent since I first registered to vote in 1977. So forgive me if after decades of trying other paths (I voted for Ross Perot, twice, although I wouldn’t do that today), I’ve long given up on some sort of a reconfiguration of our election system. At least until we can get total control, and have the will to make bold changes in the direction of this nation, we will have to work within the system and hack it, game it, hijack it, push it, cajole it, market it into getting what this country needs.
The best way to get what we want is to hijack the Democratic Party, the same way MAGA hijacked the Republican Party. In the case of the MAGAs, they just forced the Republicans out of their larval stage, and into their inevitable final form - MAGA.
The Democratic Party is supposed to be the party of the people, and the workers, and it has been tempted to stray from it’s mission by many of the same toxins of The Right. It’s time to force the Dems from their larval stage, and into their final form as a true representative of the vast majority of Americans, and not just a tiny group of extremely mentally ill financial hoarders.
Democrats - ‘Best we can do is a $1500 child tax credit that you can claim once during tax season if you have a child’
And only if you earn under $20k per year.
