A Hard Rain's a-Gonna Fall

I'm tired, boss....
I generally talk about politics and how dumb all the trump things are.
A solid rain is here of the aforementioned hard rain. Darker clouds still coming this way though.

Does the left understand that many of us can see the REAL impact that dems make?
We see people WE KNOW who had no healthcare and were able to get it thanks to obamacare.
We see people who get their benefits cut and suffer greatly when a republican comes into office and shrinks programs. 1/?

It's not that trump ran a good campaign.
It's that the right doesn't care at all if he runs any kind of good or bad campaign.
They just want to win more and know even if trump is horrible, he will still be better than a democrat for their hatred.
And they just want it more.

The left is so fucking weird?
They talk about how trump is going to crush the elections with military force. And then whine about dems?
Dems are not stopping a military takeover from a minority in congress. There is no practical path to that.
Chuck and the senate do not matter if that happens.

It's surreal to see the left just daydreaming about all their perfect ideas (dems should do all I want)... while trump runs roughshod.
A nation that can even elect trump is a long ways off from passing massive leftist policy.

As a direct result of the obscene actions of Russell Vought and Elon Musk in destroying USAID, we can expect “at least 9.4 million additional deaths by 2030, if the current funding trend continues.
About 2.5 million of those deaths are projected to be children under the age of 5.”

Trump's tariffs led to much lower than expected holiday season spending.

I noticed a car the other day with a uniqe paint job. Like a dark red and black cammo pattern.
It looked like a very custom paintjob.
I didn't care much for it, but then looking at all the other boring cars around it... it made me appreciate that they were doing what they wanted to do.

Does the left understand that the 26 midterms could be critical to 28 hopes?
Tons of folks want AOC to run, but if dems lose the house again, she will be in a far weaker postion.
She can lead key dem votes if dems win. If dems lose, she can't do much of anything.
She needs more blue seats.
