When a liberal says something about "surviving the next 4 years" ask them "what precisely do you think happens in 4 years?" (hexbear.net)

They need to start being honest with themselves that there is a reality where the Democrats never win another US election.

Are you really just going to "wait it out" and watch Trump Jr. or Meatball Ron takes over in '28? Then what?

there is a reality where the Democrats never win another US election.

Unless Trump becomes dictator for life, we're gonna get a democrat after Trump. American independents vote on economic vibes and the vibes will only get worse. That means every four years, the two parties will swap presidents and conditions will continue to get worse.

    I would not count out Trump being dictator for life, or failing that, for the voting process to become so ratfucked that dems cannot win.

    I heard some conspiracy (that's probably technically mostly true but you know shrug-outta-hecks libs ) that apparently some number of probable non-Trump votes were suppressed somehow, which sounds like 2.0 of whatever al gore, so probably we'll get v3 of that in 2028.

    Weird thing to depend on in the fascist US. Your average progressive liberal didn't even like Biden (if they did genuinely like him, that person is not the subject of this post). They are getting the message, but repeating liberal tropes and now is the time to interrupt that cycle of waiting to take leadership from the Democrats that will never arrive.

    I'm not discounting a Trump dictatorship entirely, I'm saying that the average voter has the memory of a gold fish. The era of two-term consecutive presidents died with Obama. From now on "independents" who decide the election will say "hmmm gas got higher under X. Time to vote Y."
