    After 4 years of tariffs, declining dollar value and Trump being unable to run again, I think that pendulum will swing fairly hard to the left.

    Trump is doing everything from threatening the media for failing to parrot regime propaganda to trying to render citizens to concentration camps after only a few months in power, and you think the US will still have free and fair elections in four years?!

        Quit trying to support fascism by minimizing the damage it’s done. This is not normal.

          I’m doing the opposite. The fascist us has always excluded voters and its vote collecting and counting system is inherently insecure. Hell poll intimidation has been such a huge issue historically there are laws against it that are plainly ignored in red states.

          The US, by no possible definition, does not have free nor fair elections. It has always been the worst implementation of democracy, oligarchy.

      I think Elon Musk and Peter Thiel are going to try and squeeze 2 years out of Trump and then get rid of him. JD Vance can serve 2 years of Trump’s term and still run for two terms of his own. The 2024 election was rigged and the future elections will be as well. JD Vance being unpopular won’t keep him from winning.
