I was almost killed by a drunk driver when I was 22. The ACA literally saved my life because it allowed me to get adequate pain treatment. Now that Trump can carry out his desire to eliminate us disabled Americans, we all know he will...

Jackson killed thousands of Native Americans, and removed tens of thousands from their land.

RFK says trump is putting him in charge of all health related things. people will die because of this.

There was monumental human suffering here in the states under Trumps 1st term.

I agree with your first sentiment, what he says he’s going to do is different than what he actually does. He’s unpredictable. However, the Republican party isn’t as divided as they were before.  MAGA is the republican party now. IMO the safety rails are coming off this term and that concerns me.

The difference between his first term and his second is that he will not have staffers who will push back on his crazy ideas. He has a pre-made list of staffers from the Heritage Foundation to enact all the insanity in Project 2025.

Thing is, I’ll be fine no matter what. I’m a wealthy straight white man. I don’t have any real problems. I didn’t (and never have) voted for Democrats for myself. I do it for other people, because I believe that everyone should have the same rights and privileges as myself.

Yes

The first Trumpster administration was a mess. People were still adjusting to the the orange loon, there was a lot of chaos and staff turnover, and there were still a bunch of Republicans who acted like adults and told him “no” when he had some crazy idea like nuking hurricanes.

8 years ago the Bernie Bros sat out the election and let him win the first time

Because people aren’t voting for the real Donald Trump. They’re voting for the character of Donald Trump; the meme of him. They have no interest in the real politics around his candidacy and consider any real information about it a sneaky liberal trick. And most of his supporters will be dead of old age before the…

He is not a lame duck. He has said there will be no need to vote after 2024. He is not planning on leaving the White House.

Trump is not leaving the White House in 2028 unless he is deceased.  I think SCOTUS will rule a 3rd term is Constitutional since he did not server consecutive terms.

Empathy, I’m losing mine, and I hate it, it’s not who I am or have ever been. I live in PA, maybe the swingiest of swing states, and my vision is now that 1 of 2 of every person I see, I feel borderline hatred, and I hate that too. I donated blood last night, as I do regularly, and I normally love it. I had to…

I think you’re ignoring a lot of the other very impactful changes he made, and the ones he could make this time. He put in some really, really shit Supreme Court justices, for one. They reversed Roe v Wade, which is having a disastrous effect. He puts loyal lobbyists in charge of federal agencies, not qualified…

Will the maga hypocrites be shouting for drug testing after Elmo is given a U.S. government position?

He did that last time he was pres. Didn’t stop people like Stephen Miller running roughshod over every marginalized group out there.

This. I’ve lost my last reserves of empathy for the dipshits who voted for this. I don’t want innocent people hurt, but it’s going to happen. I will feel no sympathy for the red-hats whose daughters die from back-alley abortions. No sympathy for parents who lose children to easily-preventable childhood illnesses. No…

At this point, I immediately assume any statement by McConnell will be reversed the moment it becomes convenient.

Well, the thing is, all his dipshit acolytes are now going to run Congress, with no real checks on their power. I report data to the FDA so that it can make serious, life-or-death decisions about patient safety, and that organization is very likely going to be run by a man who does not believe in the fundamental…
