Probably got 1 more good year of people opposing Trump and trying to "stop him", and then after the midterms focus will shift to whoever the likely candidate for Republicans in 2028 is.
The primaries will make or break us. The GOP could either try to reconcile the damage done and go back to an inoffensive neo-con, or double down on an at least semi-competent MAGA but without the legal baggage.
The democrats could either go with a populist progressive that might actually gain mass appeal by addressing the corporatist interests that are affecting the lower and middle classes, or the could go with milquetoast centrist that maintains the status quo and continue to lose ground in the suburbs.
It’ll be real interesting to see where we’re at on both sides by 2028, and what if any lessons either side has learned.
Every election is the most important election, which is why every right-minded adult should take being informed seriously and take time to practice this fundamental right.
Having said this, the system is totally broken and probably has been for a very long time. Voting is also a way of manufacturing consent (Trump can pretend that he has overwhelming support despite barely "winning" - and this is giving him the benefit of not questioning all kinds of fishy things).
We HAVE to vote, but we also have to demand accountability and actual power.
It is possible that neither party really wants to actually serve the people (the politicians and the political insiders very much want to serve themselves first, and the best way to do that is by serving the powerful people that own the corporations and media outlets).
I don't know if there is a way out. A dramatic and revolutionary even is not really possible in America.
For better or worse, this post includes a keyword that may lead some users to break our "Be Civil" rule. So, this is a reminder to be civil, and that, while disagreement can be civil, disinformation is not. See you in the mod queue!
Walls are closing in ... since 2016

Yeah and it will be THE MOST IMPORTANT ELECTION OF YOUR LIFE
2024 already was. The next few are just about undoing the damage.
I thought 2020 was, or 2016, or 2012...

Same nonsense

Can't we just request everything through FOIA?
Whatever you think Trump did, he probably did.
Just one more reason to support democrats in the next election.
