I look forward to never having to hear the Trump name again.
And having boring politics again! Remember the times when it wasn't terrifying to look at the news?
I politically matured during the Bush II years. I don't ever remember being relaxed about politics.
I was relaxed about politics through the '90s because we had a Democrat president, a budget that was not just balanced but had an actual fucking surplus (there were actual debates about what to spend the surplus on), and a vice president that looked like a sure shot to continue control of the white house and who actually understood technology and was concerned about the environment. And then I woke up the morning after the 2000 election and realized what a complete shit show our country had become.
tbf I used to think i didn't care about politics until this trump guy came along...
Who?
What if tries to run again in 2028 and 2032? If he even lives that long
Really hoping for a heart attack the day after poll results show he has lost abysmally.
tbh if trump loses twice in a row it must become clear for the republicans that they should look for a less extreme candidate... right?
or a more extreme one
don’t underestimate them ;)
but how would that help them
You're so naïve
in thinking the republicans want to be able to win an election again?
No, they've decided they can't survive without his base, so they're stuck with him for the rest of his life, whether he's in office or not.
I’m afraid this won’t happen anytime soon. The media will flock to him over and over again like flies on a pile of shit. The only way for this to stop…well, let’s say we missed our chance by two inches.
He seemed mostly out of the news cycle the past four years, no? Apart from the occasional update from one of his trials.
Yes, it was so nice those few years that the media didn't pretend that what he said mattered.
