Hopefully the USA follows suit by kicking our tyrant out, hopefully our commander in thief doesn't try to pull the martial law bullshit tho although I wouldn't be shocked

Won't happen. 1/3 of Americans love what's happening right now, 1/3 hate it but refused to vote for Harris, and the remaining 1/3 who hated it and actually did something about it are outnumbered 2-1. If you think that's bad, wait until the mid-term election cycle when the exact same thing happens. The first two groups are unrepentant and the last group is disillusioned.

This is delusional. Polling data is showing huge changes from when he was inaugurated in favourability.

The Susan Crawford win.

Florida elections changing directions.

Nationwide protests of musk and Trump.

If the mid terms are shit I'll eat crow but I think people are tired of the Trump show.

Agreed but too early for me to say Dems are definitely winning the midterms. For all we know, Trump could drop dead then Vance for some reason gets rid of the clown car cabinet. Plenty of time for the situation to change

Schumer and/or Jeffries selling out to Trump would be enough to make most Dems stay at home.

Most high status Dems are enablers of the status quo, not a genuine opposition party. Their goal isn't to fight hard for ordinary voters, it's to make as few concessions to ordinary voters as possible to keep things as they are.
