Long way to go then

Unless Trump stays in office until he dies in 16 years

 

[Grimoire Lenin]

Would require a series of events on the level of Post-Reconstruction.

 

[Smart Marx]

Already halfway there. The administration after Trump will be the real litmus test to see if they can get re-elected or not.

So... since Elon is basically the #2 in command (I know, he's actually the one running it all already)... odds on him running 2028?

 

[Butters]

a lot of the right wingers are like, "see they stole the election in 2020 and its proof now cuz he won this term"

if they stole it in 2020 wouldn't they just steal it again this time? doesn't it prove they didn't actually steal it?

[Mitch Buchannon]

Why? All I did was post a statement from a Democratic Congressman stating his opinion of why his own party did poorly in this last election. How does that warrant a 'fuck off'? Isn't what the Congressman said pertinent to the discussion at hand? Isn't it a possible explanation as to why democrats lost so many elections? Isn't Congressman Torre's and Senator Sander's statements be considered so the results this cycle are not repeated in 2026? 2028?

I guess you are right. It is much more productive, and easier, to tell me to fuck off. Well done.

Actually I told you to go fuck yourself, learn how to read. But also fuck off.

Aw he was thinking of us, very healthy priorities

I don't get it isn't he Canadian?

Newsom Moves Quickly to Counter Trump in California

Gov. Gavin Newsom called the Legislature back to the Capitol for a special session to bolster civil liberties, reproductive rights and environmental protections.

One day after Donald J. Trump declared victory in the presidential race, Gov. Gavin Newsom resurrected efforts in California to thwart the president-elect by asking state lawmakers to pre-empt potential Republican actions that could impact the Democratic-led state.

California leaders have long seen themselves as a bulwark against right-wing extremism, and Mr. Newsom has positioned himself nationally as one of Mr. Trump’s loudest critics. They could soon be joined in legislative efforts by other Democratic-led states such as Washington, especially given the federal power that Republicans could wield next year if they win the House in addition to the Senate and the White House.

Mr. Newsom called Thursday for a legislative special session to begin in Sacramento on Dec. 2, several weeks before Mr. Trump takes office, “to safeguard California values and fundamental rights in the face of an incoming Trump administration,” according to the governor’s office. It will initially focus on funding state litigation around Trump administration actions that might impact civil liberties, reproductive rights, immigrant protections and climate action in the state.

In some potentially good news to some, Kari Lake lost her election in Arizona.

She’s so terrible she lost a state that voted for Trump in an election that MAGA overwhelmingly won everything else.

 

[Death By Looch]

Well, they didn't call that one yet.

 

[Smart Marx]

Don’t get me started on why Arizona still hasn’t been called yet when the results are pretty clear, at least for Trump, but yeah Kari isn’t winning that she’s down by 3% with 70% reporting.

I’ll be shocked if she makes the comeback.

White evangelical voters show steadfast support for Donald Trump’s presidency
By PETER SMITH

After Donald Trump gave his victory speech early Wednesday at the Palm Beach Convention Center, dozens of his supporters gathered in a lobby to sing “How Great Thou Art,” reciting from memory the words and harmonies of a classic hymn, popular among evangelical Christians.

It was a fitting coda to an election in which Trump once again won the support of about 8 in 10 white evangelical Christian voters, according to AP VoteCast, a sweeping survey of more than 120,000 voters. That margin — among a group that represented about 20% of the total electorate — repeats similarly staggering margins of evangelical support that Trump received in 2020.

Evangelicals said they believed Trump would implement their policy priorities on religious as well as general issues such as immigration and the economy. But critics fear Trump’s administration will implement Christian nationalist policies that will give Christianity a privileged status in public life, rather than maintaining a separation of church and state and treating people of all beliefs equally.

No chance that there will be a separation of church and state anymore.
