In the future when anyone suggests some cockamamie idea, they are going to say "That was another Trump era failure. We already tried it, and it didn't work."
Then some dummy will say "Yeah, but that was Trump. He was an idiot. We'll do it right!" And then we'll waste another few billion.
Exactly.
So Trump will be the Simpsons for fucking stupidity.
Well, the Simpsons already are that for stupidity, so yeah, he'll beat the Simpsons, if for no other reason that his goofs have real-life consequences.
Bold of you to assume there is a future
Bold of MAGA to think the future is theirs. It's not. We will have the future we want.
MAGA can't survive, they are too virtuosically incompetent, and far too stupid to recognize it, so they will eventually collapse under the weight of their own breathtaking ignorance.
It's up to MAGA to decide how far they want to go before they lose, and they'll probably want to go scorched earth, because they're psychotic like that. But we won't let them, and scorched earth will apply to MAGA and their Socioathic Oligarchs.
It's going to take strong Democratic leadership, so that means the MAGA comedy act of Schmuck & Jeffries need to be ejected (and investigated, I'm not positive these losers aren't Manchurian MAGAs), and replaced by people who are aggressive about playing Hard Ball.
Preach
People need to stop saying that they expect that there will be no punishments for the breath-taking corruption we've been subjected to for years. Politicians are inherently lazy and greedy, and if we send the message that we expect them to betray us, and we will accept it, that's exactly what they'll do, and go back to their favorite pastime, insider trading.
They need to hear the message loud and clear, that we expect retribution for the CRIMES of MAGA, and we won't accept ANY excuses. If we weaponize out votes to take back this country AGAIN, and they squander it AGAIN, there won't be a third time.
It will just be the French Revolution, starring The Guillotines, and the Dems will be in line, just as much as the MAGAs.
