‘Complete unraveling’ of Trump and Republican project reflects attitude of not caring at all about governance He was always one step ahead. Donald Trump won the US presidency as a wildly unlikely outsider in 2016 and staged an astonishing comeback to win it again in 2024. Even his foes grudgingly called him a political savant with an intuition for exploiting grievances that left so-called experts floundering. But now they are asking if the dark genius has lost his touch. Trump is trapped in the quagmire of …

    No, we called him a psychopath with a dangerously large cult following. Experts only “floundered” because you can’t reason with madness.

    He’s not a fucking “dark genius,” just a malignant narcissist in a country that systemically rewards malignant narcissism.

    This is NOT True! HIGH prices and DEAD soldiers are a SMALL Price to Pay for FREEDOM!

      I still find it wild that the conservatives are still trying to pitch their ideology under this administration as one of “common sense”.

      Of course, all they want to talk about is “men in women’s sports”.

      I suspect they are hammering on that for a reason. It’s probably the only thing in which they are polling above water.

        Which will never not be weird to me. If it really matters then it should be done by weight class not assigned birth genitalia. I am 194cm tall and I have met several women who play for the WNBA who are taller than me. I am genuinely convinced the only reason we don’t have coed sports is because million dollar athlete men couldn’t handle being dunked on by a woman.

          Watch some Olympic events next time it’s on. Men have a clear advantage, scoring significantly higher. It’s necessary to separate men and women into different categories or women wouldn’t bother participating.

          Of course you get the odd man that wants to identify as a women so they can win something they wouldn’t otherwise be able to, modern problems require modern solutions

    He will stay in power and he will be president in '28. There’s no law enforcement for the super rich, there’s no consequences, why should they stop ?

    This assumes it won’t be rigged or some sort of national emergency cancels the midterms

      I’ll bet you think that’s an edgy comment, but it’s just dumb, with a B. There will be a Midterm election, and MAGA will try to derail it afterwards, but it’s going to be such a bloodbath, that they won’t be able to do anything about it.

    Maybe in a typical election in, say, the early 90s, before massive amounts of right-wing propaganda being shoved down “legacy” media pipelines and now for the past 20 years the “social media” pipelines…not to mention all the election fuckery being done by the conservatives.

    I mean, sure, I hope the Republicans are decimated in this coming election. But I also know we are surrounded by gullible and hateful people that have next to no critical thinking or media literacy skills.
