Pessimistic prediction:
Trump's fascist ICE raids, his trashing of government agencies, and his Neanderthal bullying foreign-policy initiatives will prove quite popular. He will "make deals" on his tariff threats and pass another big tax cut, so the economy will begin to rebound and in the mid-term elections Republicans will hold the Senate for sure and possibly keep their majority in the House, too, because the Democrats are hapless.
@ericmacknight Well we keep electing hapless people to Congress, so this is what we get.
Honestly, the story of this moment is one of the people that we have elected and reelected to Congress. Trump is doing things that were authorized by Congress or tolerated by Congress, and that's our fault for electing these idiots.
And the worst part is that they were idiotic, and we looked at their track records and decided, yes, we should re-elect these people.
Trump is just a symptom of our deciding to reelect idiots to Congress, and that story is not appreciated enough.
