Mandate? Trump is now under 50% in the popular vote with his margin ranking 44th out of 51 elections since 1824.
4 Democrats won Senate seats in states Trump carried—compared to zero in 16 and 20.
GOP poised for its smallest House majority since the U.S. had 50 states.

Lee casts Dispel Illusion
Lee: When Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson was up for confirmation or when VP Harris was added to the ticket, they called them DEI hires. They want you to believe that Harvard graduate with over 20 years of experience is not qualified but Fox personality is qualified to run the DOD

Consults orb: "Because conservative white men in power promote and surround themselves with conservative white men, while more liberal institutions promote largely on merit"
Lee: Why do predominantly conservative white men believe that the success of a black person or the opportunity or the access of black person is an existential threat to them?

It was just inflation. It didn't have fuck all to do with "too progressive" or "too centrist" or "too hawkish" or whatever your personal pet project is
We have the exit polls. It was the economy. Like every other incumbent in the entire fucking world

I agree. And many of them saw that he offered a clear rejection of a political and cultural vision—way of speaking, thinking, organizing and signaling—that they absolutely hated. Many found his corruption and authoritarianism *preferable* to the great awokening they’d been subjected to.
Trump voters voted for Trump because they saw what he offers and want it.
They're not kids or mindless automatons. They're adults with agency who made a choice.
Nobody forced them to.
But congrats on the success of your efforts to get people to believe Dem leaders push stuff they didn't campaign on.

It's 2027. We need to check each morning to determine if Tariffs are plusgood or if Import Taxes are ungood so as not to crimethink when you make your mandatory daily hottake on X.
Another way to say "slashing import taxes" is ELIMINATING TARIFFS.

It is absolutely identity politics. He wasn't trying to hide it. He wasn't even subtle.
Calling Kamala Harris trash, stupid, incompetent, insinuating that she's lazy and promiscuous: 100 percent identity politics

How is communicating to them in the language and via the mediums they prefer NOT participating in identity politics? They’re only anti-identity politics unless it’s their own. “The right-leaning media ecosystem scoffs at the left’s focus on identity politics…”.

Maybe it's going to take cutting half the government, a Great Depression, & fascist deportation/camps & then mass demonstrations in the streets. But we're so far past the "Trump can't do __ because the law & Constitution" & it would be better for us to be adults about this & recognize where we are.

This has been the problem for eight years now. The only solution left now is that 10% of Republicans in both houses of Congress, & 6 Republican Wizards In Robes in the Superlegislature with Life Tenure fulfill their damn oaths to country & Constitution. And since that's not going to happen...
Today in life under competitive authoritarianism
All these things are obviously unconstitutional.
But
<all together now>
The institutions are not self-enforcing. They are going to require <Republicans> who swore oaths to country & Constitution to do their damn jobs. They've all failed so far.

The thing about Trump "joking" about running again in 2028 is that 1) he likes to test the water like this and 2) it happens in an environment where SCOTUS has already shown remarkable flexibility — and could only get more Trumpian.
