    Another quality post on why it's not worth arguing with people here. Beyond out of touch with reality. I hope you are a troll.

    Same country that elected Obama twice.

    And it will be the same case for the others he tries to persecute. You can quote me on this if I'm wrong, but man our system is so filled with red tape that I don't see it happening in Trump's term. Project 2025 or Agenda 47, whatever you want to call it is still going to take time to implement, if they are even able to implement it. So I know many think that Trump loyalists are going to fill up federal jobs over the next few years, but definitely don't see it in Trump's term. Who knows though, if these last few years tell me anything is that the country has shifted further right.

    Using Obama as an excuse for America’s problem with race is hilarious. John Roberts used that same excuse and we see how that turned out. It’s a bad faith argument and pure gaslighting.

    Maybe. But he will appoint people more loyalist than competent this time and that could make the difference. Also, it wastes manpower, money, and resources. It is also authoritarian.

    Polling is now an antiquated technology. Nate Silver is an antique.

    I can assure you the whole world is shifting right.

    The hope is that he will be 80 and he is not getting much done in his last term.

    Who knew the person who flamed out of the Democratic primary before a vote was cast in 2020 and was simply anointed by the DNC would be an insufficiently popular candidate?

    Where do you even live?? The great thing about being an American is I have the ability to tell the truth at least today about the reality of our country. I love my country but I’m not going to lie about our troubled history and likely troubled future.

    Dark times are coming for America. Convicted Felon in the White House. He is going to Pardon himself and then go after his political enemies with no checks and balances. WOW.

    Looking back at his previous term, he realistically did not accomplish a lot. Even with house and Senate majorities, he still couldn't navigate and negotiate very well. As I've stated already before, is the further shift to the right in the courts that worries me and also whatever he chooses to do with foreign policy.

    The Democrats main problem is the DNC keeps trying to pick their candidates and not let their voters pick them.

    Which isn't illegal. It's a primary, they decide the rules on a primary, they could draw straws if they wanted to. But obviously the best way to run a primary is to say ANYONE can run and step the F aside and see what happens. That's how you get Obama. Imagine if the RNC did the same in 2016 and picked Jeb Bush or something?

    How you get Hilary and Biden and Kamala is when you think you can nudge the primary in your favor and the Democrats do that too much. 2016 it should have been Bernie. The fact that it wasn't lost the democrats a lot of voters.

    I said here when Biden stepped down they should have had an open primary, yeah it would have been quick and nasty but I bet Kamala doesn't win that. I bet Shapiro does, who is a lot more charismatic than Kamala.

    So the main issue is those things DO matter, but Kamala didn't present it correctly. She didn't deliver the message the best way she could, just like Biden.

    So if this Trump lead holds I hope the DNC learns their lesson. Run an open primary, let whoever wants to run, run. Then get out of the way and let the people pick, that person will by default be the most charismatic person.

    Refer to the original post. But yes you're out of touch with reality, and hopefully you find knowledge on your journey. Your use of buzzwords once again confirms what I said.

    It will sure be interesting to track like the first time. How the administrative state will change will be interesting...probably mostly acquiescing to state regulation, but who knows.
