sorry start speculating so early, but I’m really curious

like, who the hell will Republicans run next? Their Trump card is used up (fuck you I won’t apologize for that). I don’t really see anyone else with his broad appeal to take the mantel. Like, maybe some figure in this upcoming administration emerges, but… I don’t really see how. Seems like they’re stuck running just another party apparatchik.

...

The liberals in the walls whisper, they say “Trump is gonna install himself as lifelong dictator! Vance will inherit the throne! It’s the end of US democracy!!!”

i remember when my grandpa said the dems were gonna crown Obama as king.


And in that case… Dems might actually feel like they have to do a real campaign, rather than just bang the “orange fascist” gong a bunch more.

    Am I the only one feeling a tad apathetic? I watched libs totally ignore a genocide, as well as Dems cutting away at the acceptable types of queer. And now Trump is in charge and I find it hard to believe half the stress and panic is that Dems have spent so much time puffing him up. I kind of doubt he’ll be sending out ant-gay mercs on random teens and will instead spend this cycle mucking about.

    I cut out like half of my friends (many of them trans and gay) over the past year when they were riding Kamala and justifying Nazi shit out of the blue.
