I sure do hope these Republicans understand that every norm undone by Trump’s Supreme Court will soon be used by us next gen Democrats Repubs destroyed this country, and we will use EVERY tool they’ve created for us to fix it So conservatives, be careful what you wish for!
Only if the dems stop playing nice for once
Hell yea… Because we won’t expect anything less… No more bullshitn with ANY arsonists.
It's bold of you to assume we'll ever be allowed to have another legitimate election.
Every single democrat should be shouting from the rooftops watching our country go down the toilet, instead of being scared! An insurrectionist should never have been allowed to run, let alone become POTUS. And there's plenty of evidence the election was rigged! Look up Election Truth Alliance!
I'm demoralized today after all the SCOTUS rulings. Our judges cannot continue with nationwide injections, birthright citizenship is under attack as is LGBTQ+ curriculum. Time to consider moving.
I wanna see some bitch slappin’ before this decade is over, that’s all I’m saying
I have to assume they’re fairly confident that they will win every election going forward; that is if there are any…
They don't plan on there being another election. You realize that, right? They don't plan on giving anyone else that chance. Open your eyes.
Exactly.
I waited for months for President Biden to leverage his immunity. If they’re capable, they best start stepping up.
Isaiah: Republicans are trying to stop elections! They don’t intend on losing control!
YES
No they won’t, centrist democrats are too feckless to do what is needed.
What is needed?
Pack the courts, term limits, impeachments……
They need power to do that. They have no power rn. They can do nothing. It’s up to us
I know, my point is that the current leadership would not do those things even if they had the numbers.
You’re not wrong. I agree the dinosaurs need to go.
holy fucking shit how do people watch republicans obstruct with a minority and then when the Dems have the minority, they assume Dems have to just sit on their hands for two years. democrats are complicit in the republicans' power grab. they are allowing this to happen
Democrats are always too afraid of the backlash their most radical reforms might receive. That's why they never really change anything
They'll turn on a dime and take away everything they gave Trump if there's ever a Democratic president again. They're not playing by any rules except "We always win."
I hope that Democrats will in fact regain control in spite of all Republican attempts to prevent that. And if they do, I hope they have the guts and presence of mind to take advantage of the new norms and restore democracy.
The GOP is giving any other party the right to: Arrest GOP Politicians on Trumped up charges Send masked militia to peoples homes and places of business to round up “illegal” guns. Lie and Spin Everything. Capitalize on the Presidency Send Republicans to CECOT for life. No questions.
I know you will, Next Gen, tomorrow belongs to you. You will not forget, you will rage against the machine with even more force than your mothers and fathers before you.
Chris Murphy gets it.
Unless we never have another election in this nation. It's coming. Trust me.
Out here acting like we’re gonna have a free and fair election again
yep, it will be epic....
They don't plan on letting Democrats EVER take power again.
History has shown us that the current Democrat establishment leadership does nothing with their power. Once we primary the Democrats beholden to Capital and elect working class fighters will we be able to effectively fight back against the fascists.
And I EXPECT a scorched earth approach from Democrats. No more of this milquetoast nonsense about camaraderie!! Things will need to be repaired and replaced and heads have to roll!! Looking at you SCOTUS!!😡
For those who say there won't be another election... it may be an unfair election but they'll hold them so we don't storm the gates.
L‘etat c’est moi. His Majesty (or rather travesty) Donald John Trump
We need the next gen ASAP
We will have to TAKE POWER BACK!
We'd better use all of their tools and come up with some of our own!
Follow worthy post, kind Sir. Thank you for reminding me. #Hope
“Next gen democrats,” girl in what world are we having free and fair elections to get any democrats though
They’re assuming they will never have to worry about a Democratic president.
In all honesty, what is one thing you simply cannot say no to? @leasalorraine.bsky.social
Many people are saying that ultimate power corrupts absolutely, but has it even been tried?
I'd rather use it to destroy Republicans.
I don't believe the leftists had a majority opinion backing. This would have backfired only on the leftists had they gotten their way as a result of their judicial activist tantrums.
They ain't going to do that. They're too busy keeping any "upstart" who wasn't alive during the Garden of Eden from holding office and changing the status quo. Any other time, they just want to go home to their mansions and inside trade in peace.
VOTE MIDTERMS. WE CAN STOP THIS NEXT YEAR!!
Present Trump said it best, "SCOTUS has brought back the Constitution"! Be assured, Republicans would never squeal about SCOTUS righting a wrong. BTW, if Democrats don't change their ways, there won't be a next generation Democrat to ever see the inside of the WH ever again!
Unfortunately the dems wouldn't do any of this. Biden could have used presidential immunity but he didn't.
Smart.
Isn’t that sweet, you still think Dems will ever hold power again? There won’t be free and fair elections again genius. The last one where all you morons yelled about Palestine and trans rights while withholding your fucking vote just sunk the ship. From here on it will be one horror after another.
I wouldn't point fingers at people passionate about social justice (even if it wasn't a great plan), I'd be more angry about the vote suppression tactics used by Republicans to skew the vote. And you gotta admit... the establishment Democrats are just as complicit in all this, this was inevitable.
Yes, the Democrats like Pelosi, Biden, and Clinton screwed us all totally time and time again. They will flee the country with their ill gotten riches to Europe shortly, the writing is on the wall.
Passionate about social justice? That’s a very nice way of saying single issue morons incapable of seeing the grave danger they put everyone in by throwing a temper tantrum for not getting what they wanted immediately? Now they get nothing at all. They will realize they had it pretty good soon.
You're blaming the wrong people, that's my point. Theres no meaningful opposition to the Republican agenda within your gov't. Kamala as president would have delayed these issues at best, or blown up the country into conflict immediately. The real issue is that Trump could run in the first place.
Summed up better: the single issue voters are just as shortsighted as the people who think the Democrats winning would have magically fixed anything.
But honestly, I don’t really care at this point, the left made their bed and they can sleep in it now. Reaping what they sewed.
Yeah, until the masses agree that the whole system needs to be redone from the bottom up (and are willing to fight for it)... the USA is royally fucked.
Hope you like your economy getting destroyed: globalnews.ca/news/1126460...
Just gotta say... it's sad that me pointing out issues with your system of governance (which you agree with) makes you so hostile. Canada and the US have had a mutually beneficial trade relationship basically always. This is tragic for the USA economy as well.
I’m simply pointing out that you are pointing out the boat we are both on has a giant hole, but acting like there is zero chance you won’t get wet. We are both going to swim.
You cheering on Trump's betrayal of allies now? Classy. Anyways, our economy will be fine in the end. We all expected this. Things will be tough for a lot of sectors that are joint between both countries as we shift trade elsewhere.
You aren’t safe from the coming chaos at all, if we are fucked, you are too. Canada is just a stones throw away
Yes, we were all aware that electing Trump a second time was going to be a shitshow for the whole world. That's why our politics are currently dominated by hustling to uncouple from the USA and forge tighter alliances with other allies.
That’s false equivalence in all ways, yes the underlying systemic distinction and polarization would have remained, but none of the current shit would have happened.
We can agree to disagree. The instant Jan 6 happened and there weren't immediate, aggressive, consequences to all involved (especially Trump) should have made clear that the two party system was cooked. Had he lost again, Jan 6 would have paled in comparison to the MAGA uprising.
100%, take it right back at them. Take this perceived position of disadvantage and turn it into one of advantage. In a game of tag, when tagged you're "it", it's now time to turn the tables on them and start chasing instead of running away. Everyone, get in the fight... youtu.be/oLSOzcEQjiE?...
Yeah right. The weak Democratic Party is too scared to upset the status quo that lines their pockets, the only politicians who get elected are the ones who bow down to corps and AIPAC.
If we make it through *this* Republicans won’t hold an office for the next 2 generations These kids are pissed and they will remember
What have the dems done at all, in any situation, that leads you to believe that?
And Fuck the guy that told me to fuck off and then blocked me!
I think the Republicans understand that this SCOTUS will certainly not uphold any voting rights contrary to Republican policy. I am worried we will never have a Democratic president again.
I hope to the deities that you are right but first Dems already IN office need to stop cowering and fight for us. Not just a handful, but every GD one of them.
They wouldn't be doing this if there was going to be another election.
Haha! There won't be any election. Besides, no one on the liberal side has the balls to use what the court gave us if we even are in power.
They’re ruling like there won’t be a “next time”
Decades of experience has taught me that the Republicans break things, then Dems get in power and reach across the isle. The party needs to change to meet the needs of the moment. Maybe it's changing. I'll believe it when I see it. The backlash against he NY primary results is disheartening.
There’s not going to be a swimming pool… there won’t even be a house
IF Dems ever got in poer again
I think Republicans understand that Dems decisively WON'T undo anything that they're implementing now. Their M.O. is constantly "oh golly gosh darn, there's nothing we can do, guess we just gotta deal with the new status quo 🤷♂️, but maybe NEXT TIME we can-" They don't care either.
THEY WILL NEVER ALLOW DEMOCRATS TO HAVE POWER AGAIN! People, I beg you, if you think we’re going to see elections result in MAGA losing federal power, we’ve already lost. They have NO intention of ever ceding power. It has to be TAKEN from them. #Revolution
And I sure hope the Dems grow a spine! They won’t hold elections again at this rate!
Don’t just fix it, make it better. Next gen Dems can’t come soon enough.
They’re assuming they’ll have made it impossible to elect another Democratic president.
Isaiah - he knows that so before November 2026 he will act to remove the entire democratic party along with many others, as he will be the only necessity America (Russia) needs
why we need actual legal scholars not political operatives with legal backgrounds ⚖️
and when the tables turn, they cry victim and suddenly care about the rule of law again
They don't intend to allow us to vote again.
What I fear is that they are using today’s ruling to keep people from voting.
Maybe. Knowing democrats they will still play by the ‘rules’.
I kinda wish they would start *now*
There's very little they can do right now cause they don't have enough seats. There's not even a bill to block. Literally everything harmful is being done in a separate branch, when means only Judges can act and well, people wanted Republicans to pick the judges.
I seem to remember a time not so long ago when I couldn't glean a political affiliation to a judge. It was almost as if the law itself was sacrosanct above partisan politics.
Have you been alive for over a century cause that's just never been true. Republicans have been pushing crooked judges for over 60 years now at minimum, in actuality it goes back even further than that as the judicial has never been separate from those who elected them.
They can’t rock the boat because all the money that lines their pockets from lobbyists will fall out
Well, they want to use those levers to keep Dems from ever regaining power. And they might just succeed
Wont be another Dem President Isaiah. Get.That.Through.Your.Head. There is a reason they are acting like this its because they arent expecting to give up power....
That's the opposite of how Republicans are acting. See no further than the fact Republicans are even debating aspects of the stupid bill which will be going through changes between houses. That's why they want to delay the Medicaid cuts for several years No proof they think this won't end
We will have to take it back in a way we've never had to contemplate, and we need to accept and step up to that awful truth. Isaiah and people like him and like us will need to be part of that.
Bliss: Thanks for determining my answer without waiting for a reply. Very helpful for those dissatisfied with this government to channel energy into attacking those on the same side, too. Like so many, I'm hardly "waiting for someone else." We're seeking ways to make a meaningful impact. Ain't easy.
Thank you- Democrats need to resurrect the Ghost of Sherman and burn MAGA completely down and do t pull their foot of the neck
IF there is any more free elections in the future This is FASCISM people You need to STAND UP NOW IN ANY POSSIBLE WAY or be silenced forever (or until climate change will end all of humanity)
I’m not your generation but I will be fighting for and along side you until my last breath.
Honestly, the only tool you need is proper representation of the people. Gerrymandering only works because it’s meant to not represent the population. So remove privilege and encourage people to vote because it matters.
Confused Brit here. If the President can override the Constitution does it mean that Trump could run for 3rd term? Thanks for your attention on this matter
He didn’t override the constitution. No one can override the constitution. The court upheld the constitution.
Can you explain? I’m genuinely confused as to what the feck is going on.
Ignore Becky Bunchofnumbers, she's a bot. Yes the Nazi oligarch will ignore the Constitution because he has the corrupted Supreme Court in his back pocket and both sides of Congress controlled by fascist oligarch sycophants who will let him maintain power however they can. America is dead.
We’re worried about you guys. It’s kinda tough working out what is going on but it doesn’t look good.
Yes. The constitution is irrelevant, and Trump is a dictator. I doubt he will even bother with the formality of another election.
They assume they will be able to hold onto power indefinitely
They will. It’s over. We’re North Korea now.
❣️❣️❣️
As much as I want you to be right, the current behavior of the regime suggests they will not be willingly relinquishing power or running free elections.
THIS
I love making this same point to my conservative coworkers. Their facial expressions are always priceless.
