I think we will, yes. Depending on the midterms and just how much he’s allowed to get away with destroying in the next two years, we will very likely emerge as a very different country than we are today. We’ll survive, but there’s gonna be a lot of rebuilding.
While I hope you are correct, I fear you are not. At the rate things are happening now by the time there are midterms (which is iffy) there will not be a country left to save.
What exactly have you seen in the past 8 weeks that leads you to believe we are going to have free and fair elections in 2 years??? Autocrats don't allow themselves to voted out of power.
You think there will be midterms?
I'm not so confident. 💔😢
'we will very likely emerge as a very different country...' I hope so. An informed, intelligent, astute, non-clueless, etc. country. That is the whole problem, we are not that! Americans don't pay attention.
We need to get rid of the EC. That'll more than likely destroy the gop forever. If you can't win the popular vote, you don't deserve to be president.
@angrystaffer.bsky.social, I truly respect you, but like many other institutionalists, you are wrong. Read my words, GOP doesn't have two years. I think you are not reading "the room" correctly. When MAGA is yelling "Tax the rich", GOP lifespan is not years but months!
After all this in only two months, do you really think we can survive two years?
It took many years of tearing itself apart from within for the Roman republic to become an empire under Julius Ceasar. It lasted several hundred years under its new form under various emperor.
You really believe that they intend to hold elections? The vibe sure seems they have no fear of future elections
I think they’ll hold something that looks like elections, but with the GOP off the chain they can probably rig the outcome with voter suppression alone. And any other ratfuckery will go completely uninvestigated
I think he’ll declare war to stop elections. Musk already bought the presidency, why would midterms be any different?
Won't declare war. I can imagine weeks leading up to midterms Musk & Miller will convince Donald they need to institute martial law. The GOP & MAGA will go along with idea and the Democrats will allow it to happen.
At what cost? How many will suffer and die.
Too much and too many.
I hope you’re right. I’m not nearly as optimistic as you are. I’ve never had much faith in this country. Honestly the last 29 years have only validated my belief that we were always just a heartbeat away from fascism. All we ever needed was someone to tell half the country it was okay to be a Nazi.

AOC is right
AOC is wise beyond her years.
You should come to Europe while u still can, I'm afraid. The A25 criminals know very well what they are doing. Trust me, we've been through that a couple of times here in Central Europe. Closed borders is in their playbook, soon to be implemented, I am afraid.
I cannot believe in 2025, this still needs to be said.
Have you met the ppl who voted djt?
Yes, I have. I know the question is rhetorical. Couldn’t help myself.
I can't believe that members of my immediate and extended family voted for him in 2016 AND 2024! I haven't spoken to them in over 4 months. Ugh!
Don't feel bad my Mom did twice and now she's dead...I tried convincing her but to no avail...she was brainwashed by Fux news...thank God she didn't live to see him steal the election!
It’s amazing how protective of our parents we become. My father passed away in 2021 at the age of 93. He said that he wanted to live long enough to see Trump voted out of office. So glad he wasn’t around to see the 🍊🍕💩2nd term.
My mom’s name for him in her late 90s was unprintable
Well at least he saw him voted out in 2021...I could not bear my Mom's glee in seeing him back in office...It's truly heartbreaking to have someone go down the cult rabbit hole...you are lucky!!!
I can’t believe in 2025 I, a 68 year old Boomer had to get an MMR measles booster! 😡
It’s staggering how unbelievably stupid, not to mention incredibly selfish, people have become.
Too bad she’s never done anything in office
youtu.be/9uegwd_rBek?...
I think she will be president one day, I thought that from her first election. We need fresh voices like hers to renew and fuel our party.
♥️♥️♥️
He's the symptom. Not the cause.
I still cannot believe the amount of men who discount the intelligence of this woman!! More likely they are jealous of her intelligence, courage and integrity!
To the GOP in Congress, just do the right thing. You won't have to worry about being primaried if you do. Because your constituents will vote you back into office. It seems like a no-brainer. Or am I missing something?
Mid terms 🫤 if we don’t uncover the cheating, they will cheat again
A LOT of rebuilding. Rebuilding within our own Country is one long gruesome but achievable process. A Country only exists in a global context and rebuiliding international alliances, trust and friendships may take several generations. We haven't realized the depth of the damage inflicted by Trump.
And constitutional amendments to plug all the holes that trump has exploited.
A generation of rebuilding, but we will come back better. I hope I live to see it.
I hope you do too. I know I won't, and a lot of my older friends probably won't either and it's depressing as fuck.
Same here. I'm 73 and I DO want to live long enoughto vote for Sec'y Pete for POTUS
I don't think I will either, but I'll go down fighting.
Agreed! And I'll take a few Nazis out with me.
Agree!
I won’t live to see it but I hope this happens for my grandkids.
I hope you live to see it and me too!
I will not. I'm already 73.
I think the rebuilding will take more than one generation.
When we rebuild, I'm going to make it a point to get our government to put up safeguards to keep this from happening again!
Power to you. I kind of thought Democrats would have worked harder on safeguards after the last Trump presidency.
Nobody thought he'd have a prayer of winning in 2024. Now we know: Either Musk rigged it for him, or there's a hell of a lot of racists /misogynists out there who didn't like Trump, but would not vote for Harris, and complacently thought that Wall St., etc., would not "let" Trump win.
Musk cheated for him and trump.
We were told safeguards were put into place before Asshat#1 took over. They failed.
Yes. I remember that! Now, there's nothing anybody can do! Mom always used to say: Ya want something done right, ya gotta do it yourself! She sure had a good point!
The wrong person was in the AG position for that to happen.
It is Congress who drafts and proposes legislation, no?
Thank you! I totally thought the same thing! Even after the first impeachment failed, I thought alternate plans were being developed! But, all this time & despite knowing all about project 2025, & nothing yet!
different for the better hopefully.
$300M+ buys you a lot of power in the Oval. If we ever get out of this, one of our first priorities must be repeal of Citizens United or we'll just get back here again.
Agree 100%
It's astonishing to think anyone opposing the domestic terrorism you are experiencing should wait until the midterm elections to bring about change. You don't have that much time as the time is NOW. I"m so surprised that many Americans don't understand that.
I understand. I'm 73 and doing all I can do.
I'm not convinced we'll have midterms.
We may rebuild, but in a late Roman republic sort of way. We have hit the proverbial slippery slope conservatives used to worry about, and now they’re the ones pushing us down the slope.
Thank you 🙏
Fascists don’t give up power once they get it. It has to be taken through force. The amount of force depends on how entrenched they are. We are basically in civil war territory.
Many of us won’t be around to see it but will fight to make sure that future generations do.
