Nothing that Trump is actually going to do is going to help the people who voted for him. I'm actually feeling pretty confident for 2028. If there is an election at all, we will win it handily.

This was a "throw the bums out" election result from low information voters pissed off about inflation. The next one will be rough on the incumbent party as well.

It's easy to run on a platform of "government is bad, let's burn it all down". It's a lot harder to govern from that platform.

There's going to be another pandemic or severe weather event or another financial meltdown or a war Trump can't avoid us getting sucked into and it will expose their incompetence over and over again. He's going to die or become so undeniably demented that the 25th Amendment will be invoked.

Their positions are toxic, and not supported by the majority of Americans. JD Vance does not have what it takes to sell them any more than Ron DeSantis did.

They can pack the courts and we can unpack them when its our turn.
