Trump is that kid who bullied people on the playground so he could sell their lunch to others.

Rubio was basically saying all of the western hemisphere belongs to America.

The amount of chaos this is going to sow is unreal. My employers deals with many of the families who are on TANF. I'm sure it'll get struck down at some point as that's been happening, but the amount of families it will affect is going to YUGE

Rural republicans *living in a blue state*

They're already gonna blame Democrats for the state Democrats are running. And the policy specifically doesn't target red states.

That Congress even remains complicit is both maddening and damning.

[Lucavi]

"But the teachings!"

I have no idea how Congress and the Courts will function in 2028 if the Blues take back the White House. You allow all of... this to happen to your country over 4 years and then what? You start talking about the rule of law or something?

This is akin to a parent allowing kids to smear feces all over the walls and floors for a week, then attempting to explain how the rules of the house will be re-established going forward. Everyone has seen what you've allowed for 4 years. How in the hell can you even attempt to speak like you actually have standards or won't allow improper conduct or policy?

Its legitimately going to be something to see. Its almost fascinating in its absurdity. The nation has never gone this far into insanity/stupidity on a macro and micro level before. Propaganda has always ruled the day, but it has never allowed for this much absolute lunacy before. This will be interesting... if nothing else. Like trying to watch a bunch of coked-out stock market employees attempt assume a professional demeanor after a televised, hour's-long cocaine bender.

[Sirious]

I mean. it's literally what will happen. If by some miracle there's a 2028 election and a bigger miracle that it's not Newsom so there's an actual chance and if by the largest miracle, Dems win. It's instantly back to status quo. collective amnesia over the last 20 years right back to the way it's always been.

That's more miracles than you should realistically count on occurring though.

Oooo, central valley gonna get fucked hard with this.
