Some think that internal conflict among the fascists and MAGA about such things as foreign workers will destroy the movement. They believe that Trump's incompetence will lead to the demise of this movement. I am more pessimistic about what the media will report. Is hope the plan?

Democratic plan for taking power back is to cooperate on issues that don’t conflict with their values. Isn’t that what Dems have been doing for the last 40 years? MAGA love that plan!

It seems strange tome that we are spending so much time pointing out the shortcomings of Trump’s nominees when Trump is the felon and sex offender.
and here's the thing: I have no doubt that desantis and rubio and bondi will be slavishly loyal to trump. but they are also *ambitious* and have an interest in their own careers as well as that of the republican party. this introduces a tension into the administration (that can be exploited)

Biden should have pardoned Trump along with Hunter. Then he could have claimed he was doing it to end the bitterness between parties. Another meaningless Biden gesture.

What Trump did to CDC in 2020 was disastrous and painful to all who respected so many dedicated scientists.

I don’t know how anyone watching this transition process thinks they’ll be midterms.
