President Donald Trump told voters to pretend he was on the ballot in this year’s midterm elections.
They did. And they resoundingly rejected both his policies and his Republican Party.
Democrats have captured full control of Congress, NBC News projects, with voters delivering a forceful repudiation of Trump’s agenda, coupled with a clear-cut message that Congress has not done enough to provide checks on his administration and needs to do more to address affordability and corruption.
I hope Democrats would no longer make excuses of having “slim minority” not to pass popular policies.
May this be the start of the Overton Window shifting so far to the Left that we never have Republicans again
Every single person who has been angry, upset, scared, and frustrated with the past two years needs to be up their representative’s ass TOMORROW to tell them to put these fucking fascists in prison and burn anyone who stood with them. We cannot let the Democrats try to have things go back to the status quo.
The GOP and big business has proven they will fucking grind us to dust if it means they can make more money. Every single sack of shit lining up behind Trump’s fascist regime needs to be held accountable. Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem, Greg Bovino, Markwayne Mullin, and Pete Hegseth need to be in fucking prison. Kash Patel needs to be in front of a committee every fucking day for his bullshit.
Elon Musk’s companies need to be nationalized or stripped of all their govt contracts. That motherfucker needs to be deported. Meta, Google, and Amazon need to be regulated.
Really rough night for the “elections don’t matter” and “we’re not having midterms” crowds. Pour one out for them.
Fuck those pysop motherfuckers! As if voting precludes pushing for more and better.
Its not always a psyop, sometimes they’re just out here trying to justify their lazy self-defeating personality.
Honestly the jump to psyop just comes across someone too out of touch with reality to understand the fuck people are.
Like mother fucker, what do you think is more likely. Lazy, depressed, and self-defeating people being tired and dooming? Or a coordinated psyop across the entire internet that lines up perfectly with the exact same shit people have been saying, doing and dooming about since the 1900s.
Like get out of your house and talk to some normal people, you will realize this isn’t a psyop. People are ACTUALLY just that tired or stupid.
That said there is obviously bots going around trying to influence things. But they are more just pushing people in directions they already lay.
… the psychological operation is to abuse those morons’ dumbass personalities and mental disorders.
Everyone said “trump is not leaving office”
And they said, “the corporate Dems share the same donors as MAGA”
Neither of those has been disproven and we will quickly see how constrained they are and how no one can be held accountable. That is what people have been saying and that is not a psyop. It is 40 years of data
Trump left office before and he’ll leave it again.
Nice try though.
It should frighten you more that they would even think that they can just go on living after all they’ve done. And all of you will accept Democrats working WITH him? Allowing him to taint this country and the office for another two years of more illegal and immoral corruption? Do you think they are going to stop Kushner? The cryptobribes? The secret Russia trips? Elon sabotaging Ukraine? Him selling secrets? Him and all of his cronies destroying the Epstein files? All of the missing oil and money from Venezuela? Assassinating an ICC Investigator that was looking into his WARCRIMES?
And to you, this is winning?
What the fuck are you on about?
If you don’t know what a single one of those crimes are, then you don’t need to type anymore
How about you worry about yourself buddy.
Honestly their arguments aren’t that unreasonable, I don’t think it’s entirely invalid to not be asking questions about a guy who has absolutely murdered and raped literal children
Yep! Can only lead a horse to water. Enjoy your “win”
And it’s Fetterman-proof in the Senate. What a weird and great night.
Every day needs to be hearing after hearing it is time for two years of relentless justice.
Jeffries, Schumer and Trump? Lots of New York power. People might be surprised by what a Democratic Congress can work out with the current administration.
It is a great victory, but I feel it is gonna be a hard two years. I hope dem can end blantant corruption by Trump, which is very doable, but they will have a hard time fixing all the shit show that is going on, from AI bubble to oil prices.
If people don’t see legitimate economical improvements (which is unlikely given the current global situation) the next president election likely will not be as clear cut as this one.
Disclaimer: I am not suggesting other issues are less important than economics, but we have seen time and time again: voters care more about gas price up 50 cents than elementary schools being bombed.
They need to end all funding to any departments that are not in line with the law.
Oh boy, gridlock here we come. Enough votes to send stuff to him, but not enough to override his veto.
It’s much more than this, but even this part is an absolute win. No more rubber stamping whatever Toddler Trump wants. It’s a return of checks and balances. It opens up doors to investigations, shutting down budgets that fund his nonsense, blocking everything he wants to do, blocking appointments, and impeachment (though I still expect it never to pass the Senate unless they can show some smoking guns - even then I’m not sure).
I could see Republicans agreeing to impeach Trump under the backroom deal that the Dark Enlightenment’s own fuccboi JD Vance is left out of it.
I’m not entirely sure that deal is worth taking.
Everyone with an R by their name is complicit.
EV RY ONE.
You have a r in your name. So do i! ARE WE COMPLICIT!!!11!1! DUN DUN DUUUN.
I am very tired this is a stupid joke. No i wont say sorry. But i do need more nyquil.
Fucking good. That way when Dems try to actually pass legislation and make shit happen, Trump can veto it and all the blame can be squarely laid at his feet.
Dems need to actually keep that in the news cycle too. Establishment dems definitely have a “people don’t want us to brag” mentality, but it means that republicans are really good at auto-fellation in comparison. Congress needs to keep putting wildly popular legislation on his desk, and every single time he vetoes it, they need to raise hell.
Every single bill he vetoes should be a branding iron on his flabby pale ass. Forcibly brand him as the president who vetoed universal healthcare, livable minimum wage, guaranteed paid maternity/paternity leave, etc… Don’t let the news cycle (and voters) forget why the gridlock is occurring.
Gridlock is the better option, compared to the last two years.
That’s okay. No more court appointments. And full control of the budget. That will be enough to turn this regime into a lame duck administration.
Well shite. I stood to collect $5000 from the USG if the Rs won. Trump said so. Now what am I supposed to do for beer money and diesel?
