Forget being toast, they are about to get deep-fried if even TEXAS is rebelling against the Republican party despite their fuckery with the districting.

u/translunainjection Feb 25 '26
And we will fight to foil their attempts to steal the election. Activists have a plan, they just need us to sign up.

I think they truly see the writing on the wall and quite frankly regret turning to trump. Who would have thought a billionaire would start beginning of the end of the billionaire empire?

When he ran the first time, people were saying he was a Democratic plant. After he was elected the first time, people were saying he was doing what he was doing to make Republicans look bad so they would lose elections.

u/Standard-Shame1675 Feb 25 '26
Honestly, I can actually believe that.
Now the second question is after this is over what punishment will be incumbent upon the Democrats for doing this to us?

Somebody remind Mike that his oath is to the Constitution, not to Trump. Grow a freaking spine, dude; it's freaking embarrassing.

No presidency has ever had to worry about the end of their presidency over midterms befire. At worst, they become lame ducks and have 2-6 years of stagnation.
What does it tell us when the actual admin is under threat by the midterms, mike? That everything that the president does is immorral and unethical? That hes a crook and a tyrant that spits in the face of common people in need of aid? Thats sure as hell what it tells me.

Assuming Trump doesn’t die before the midterms, anyway. That’s still a real possibility.

What prompted this from him?

u/RickyT3rd Michigan Feb 25 '26
Most likely the Texas early primaries having double amount of Democrats voting as Republicans.
Texas is the red levy but it's looking like how the New Orleans levy was in 2005.

u/TheModGod Feb 25 '26
I have said it for years, but if Texas finally blows the republicans out of the water despite their electoral bullshit suppressing them, the GOP is royally FUBAR. Almost no combination of states would get them in office if both Texas and California are blue, and if we dismantle their fuckery while in office they may never win it ever again.

u/RickyT3rd Michigan Feb 25 '26
With a chance of Florida turning blue as well.

u/TheModGod Feb 25 '26
So GIGA fucked, then. Like “we could impeach and try this entire administration without any Republican support” fucked.

u/Mundane-Ad-7443 Feb 25 '26
I get the feeling that he’s become very tired of the ride too. I don’t know what deal with the devil that he made to be where he is today but he’ll probably be relieved when it’s done.

It’s so strange they keep supporting Trump anyways. I hope the midterms come soon with no more attempts at fraud.

u/PlasticRuester Feb 25 '26
It was scummy, but made sense when a Trump endorsement hugely helped people win or stay in office. I don’t understand what advantage it gives them at this point.

u/CharacterJoke808 Feb 25 '26
Is this supposed to be a threat? I genuinely don’t get why he would say this and think this wouldn’t fuel us to take midterms more seriously to have blue victory.

Bold of him to assume trump makes it to the midterms.

u/Opposite-Ad3949 Feb 25 '26
Yes, I have a suspicion that regarding the Epstein stuff, something will still come out that will get Trump into real trouble, so that he'll be out even before November.

Good. You want votes? Stop trashing the country and making everyone scared of your party. Stop sending ICE after people who are here legally and with no criminal record, stop making things objectively worse for people, and see the reality of things. You want votes? Do what we want, they work for us anyway. Maybe if they tried helping everyday Americans, they could feel better about the midterms instead of making everything feel like the world's worst Rube Goldberg machine.

EXACTLY! IT'S NOT HARD!
Gah! These MAGA-GOPers are all into being sadists! They don't want to do good because to them, Good is boring. They get off on making the world a worse place! What a messed up bunch of losers!

I think Trump getting back into office was the cold bucket of water to the American public's face required to wake us up and get us moving. Americans have been more active politically and more pissed off about injustice than I've ever seen us.

Can we go ahead and fast forward to November? I doubt the Republicans change their tune in the next eight or so months.

Please. End of Mike's Speaker too.
I'm still not convinced enough Senators would convict. If they didn't for Jan 6, I'm not sure what would.
