I had no idea it would be this bad

[Anonymous]

Geezsus H Christ if you didn’t understand how bad this second Trump administration would be, you are dumb as rocks. Seriously. IT. WAS. ALL. OUT. THERE. TO. READ. AND. LISTEN. TO.

Goddammit how can people be so stupid?

Project 2025 was available online for a long time. The extremist radical right-wing Christo-Fascist MAGA zealots who have taken over the Republican Party made it crystal clear they were using Trump this time and ensuring all the traditionalists from the first administration were weeded out. They sold themselves to Trump as loyalists who would help him get revenge. They said this with every breath.

They are far from done too. They aren’t going to stop until our democratic principles are all disposed of. Only the courts + military can possibly stop this and it’s unlikely. It’s going to get worse, much worse.

People want economic change but they don’t want illegal immigrants pouring across the border or trans swimmers setting women’s swimming records. Dems need to tack left on economics - like AOC and Bernie - but tack right on social issues - like Seth Moulten or Tester - if they want to have a hope of winning a national election.

Democrats don't want illegal immigration. Biden and Obama deported many more and legally, than Trump.
Democrats supported border reform bills that would address the many structural issues that exist. The GOP has tanked the bills every time they were offered, mostly to keep people like you angry. Sadly, their ploy worked.

This. Abortion used to be the issue republicans wanted to keep on the table. They had opportunities over the 50-year run to overturn Roe v Wade, but they didn’t want to lose their single-issue voters. But as public opinion on abortion started to shift, they knew they just needed to get it done and move on to their next boogie man issue.

And, to the original pp, do you realize what a small and rare problem trans athletes are in schools? Why shouldn’t it be handled locally? Why shouldn’t school districts be able to make the decision? There are so many variables, so shouldn’t it be on a case-by-case basis? Why do you guys want every aspect of our lives to be controlled by the federal government?

You need to get that hardly anyone agrees with the agenda that men should be able to self-identify as women. The fact that only thousands, not yet millions, of mentally ill men and boys have taken advantage of your dangerous policies changes nothing. Your policies are vile and you don't belong in power until you stop pushing them.

The thing is, in the pursuit of life, liberty and happiness, no one cares what you think. It isn't harming you. You live your life and let them live theirs.

Nope, sorry, try again. Every society gets to decide what's acceptable and this society is in the process of tearing down all of the madness you have introduced to make it very clear to you that transgenderism is not acceptable. Cry about it.

There was a time when being gay, or being black, or being Asian or being a woman could have fit into the sentence you just wrote. Maybe look in the mirror.

Yeah, blah blah, boo. You guys already tried analogizing between your sexual fetishes and race and nobody bought it.

Uh, maybe look at arrest records for who actually are the deviants and have strange fetishes. They aren't the trans people. More likely some southern or midwestern "pastor" who is also a MAGA.

You're on the right track. They are all overwhelmingly men, like your dear "trans women." Men are a demonstrated danger to women and girls, hence why we segregate certain spaces by sex. Your attempt to override that is a deliberate effort to endanger women and girls in service of your ideology. You are a bad person.

I always thought the “Don’t tread on me,” was in reference to tyranny, but you keep telling us that it’s in reference to trans.

So tyranny is actually fine with you folks.

Not allowing human males to play on the girls soccer team isn’t tyranny.

Let's draw this out. Exactly how many high school "boys" do you think are playing on girls soccer teams? By the way the right would have you believe, there are thousands and thousands, right? Reality, if there are more than 20 nationally I would be surprised.

And for that they are willing to throw away Social Security, Medicare, they are willing to endure massive price hikes and recession due to stupid tariffs, they are willing to throw away civil liberties and protections, they are willing to throw away food safety inspections, and so much more. Because the incorrectly believe there's some massive epidemic of boys playing girls soccer.

Are you suggesting that the only way we can have all the things you list is if we let Democrats put boys in girls sports? You really can't envisage a country in which we have all these things and we also don't have con artists pushing gender ideology?

I can’t believe you are willing to die on that hill. Just let the country go bc of 10 trans girls.

Again, are you suggesting that the only way we can have all the things you list is if we let Democrats put boys in girls sports?

You are, then.

A typically nonsensical response from the reality deniers give when pinned down. The fact is we can have civil liberties, food safety, and all the nice things in the world WITHOUT mentally ill male interlopers being ushered into women's spaces. You don't like that fact, but it's still a fact. The idea that we have to let alleged "trans women" force their nonexistent "womanhood" down our throats in order for America to be America again is simply a manipulative lie.

Nope. We cannot under MAGA. You could have voted in Harris and then forced her hand on this issue. But, you threw out the baby with the bath water. The fantasy you invented doesn’t exist. Sorry!

Oh. lol. Harris WAS the cause of all this. She was a bad pick through-and-through. Poor resume, pushed divisive rhetoric. She even decided it was a great idea to hold her "victory" speech at Howard U. She didn't split significantly from Biden on the border and police issues, even though she was supposedly a former prosecutor??? If she really wanted to unify the country, she would've picked a mainstream white republican to run with. The election was hers to lose, and she made bad choices and did lose.

I wouldn't say Harris was the cause. Biden, picked her, but he was already in the third demension. But yeah her CV was pretty weak. Then she was handed the nomination with such a short fuse. Though, so was Trump's in 2016. However, Kamala had been in politics and Trump had not. Otherwise, I agree she didn't execute very well, divisive rhetoric and all. I just think her function was more of the fall girl the Democrats could blame their loss on rather than to accept responsibility for their platform collapsing or try to change their course.

The Democrats need to keep in mind that they've been pretty successful winning the Presidency the last 30 or so years not because of their platform, but because two generational level talents came along in Clinton and Obama. Harris just was not on that level at all.

Trump's popularity has already fallen into the 30s and will continue to collapse. His support has always been thin. By historical measures, Trump will go down as the most unpopular president in history.

The bigger story though is why do Democrats keep losing to this guy? Just how repellent does a party have to be to lose to Donald Trump - twice? It starts with the colossal arrogance of the Biden administration, the DNC, and donors for inflicting a rapidly declining 83 year old geriatric on the country as the only anti-Trump choice. That was the original sin that doomed Democrats. Biden was manifestly incapable of being president for another four years and yet Democrats insisted that Biden was the only viable candidate. This was an institutional failure by the Democratic Party and it demonstrated to everyone that the party cannot be trusted.

And then replacing Biden at the last minute with an unpopular California wine mom who could not speak coherently on basic policy issues sealed the collapse. Harris had no base of support. When she ran for president the first time, she couldn't even make it through the Iowa caucuses. Neither Biden nor Harris were ever popular, movement leaders - like Obama, like Bill Clinton. It was like the leadership of the Democratic Party had been hijacked by idiots and they were determined to inflict their out of touch stupidity on the rest of the world. So here we are.

The problem now is that Democrats have settled on being passive. They're going to kick back and watch Trump self destruct. And in the meantime, there is no reflection at all on all the unpopular positions that progressives have inflicted on their communities - from illegal migrants to crime to out of control schools to racial preferences in hiring to yes, even the trans thing, which many women take as an attack for simply being a woman. Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries are both dolts. Until there is a new generation of Democrats that prioritize the economic and kitchen table issues that most Americans care about, I fear Democrats are going to continue to lose in the years ahead. Bad candidates, bad policies, and a leadership that hates voters do not win elections. Trump will be gone soon enough. But even after all this chaos, if Republicans nominate even a semi-sane nominee, they are still going to win. Democrats need a revolution from within. And that's not happening. It's still the party of corporate DNC morons and blue-haired masked loons. I'm not optimistic.

don't forget the 15,000,000 illegal aliens that flooded the southern border as Biden said there was nothing he could do. until he did something.

And yet was vastly, objectively, and verifiably, more qualified than the clown that is “president” now. Trump beating both Harris and Clinton shows that qualifications are irrelevant to the job of POTUS.

Biden had to do the same kinds of TEMPORARY workarounds that Trump did in his first term. Workarounds that eventually got shot down by the courts because they weren't legally sound.

Thats the stuff that you idiots don't understand. TEMPORARY is TEMPORARY. Immigration reform LEGISLATION is in fact needed, as Joe stated. There is only so much the President can do within the framework.

And Harris was a fine candidate. It’s disgusting to see such blatant misogyny with all these posts blaming Harris. The blame lies with ignorant and sexist voters who foolishly chose Trump over her. Because no thinking, informed, educated, non-sexist, non-racist person would choose such an obviously dangerous and stupid criminal and conman over her. If MAGA has regrets, they only have themselves to blame. Personal responsibility. Own it.

This should be a pinned post. The MAgAs bleat on about this incessantly without understand that Biden didn't have the same tools that Trump did, and then tried to get legislation to fix it and Trump and the GOP killed that too.

My head explodes every time the Dems get blamed for Trump’s win. YOU COULD HAVE NOMINATED NIKKI HALEY! No one forced you to vote for him in the primaries and general.

I wouldn’t enjoy her as president but she’d be a million times better than Trump.
