I mean I’m not eager to see any kind of Democrat gains in Congress this fall, but frankly looking around at my own circle, it’s grim. Not as in, people who voted for Trump in 2024 are going to vote Democrat. More like people who voted Trump in 2024 are disillusioned and pissed off and quite a few of them are liable to stay home this time.

It’s not the ballroom, although yeah, optics suck on that. Better to have called it a bunker and added an overt element of “fuck you” to the whole thing but w/e. No, the thing is the war. All the moderates/weirdos/free thinker types who broke from whatever they were before 2016 to turn MAGA when holy shit, we actually had anti-war Republican candidate? They’re off the train. I don’t understand why this board likes to gloss over how much that burns people’s asses.

It’s not full doom and gloom exactly. I’m not seeing anybody pulling a 180 and cheering for the left because of it. But you’re lying to yourself if you think anybody feels cool about paying higher gas prices and continuing to wallow in a stagnating economy while we waste time, cash, and a closing window of opportunity LARPing the GWOT.

Something good needs to happen. Something normal people can see and feel themselves.

We still have months before the midterms, and the average geopolitical attention span is like two weeks. I hereby bet six months in a burger suit that the Iran war will not even be in the top 3 relevant issues for midterms. Feel free to bookmark this post.

If the war can end, gas prices come down, and the 250th is a nice patriotism celebration things might turn around.

There won't be any such thing as a safe Republican seat by November.

Nothing. There's always something to complain about even if the issue's been rectified for a long time and nothing burgers are amplified into issues by the press constantly screeching because orange man bad. It's only a few handful things that are unreasonably priced and Trump is a boomer so the most important thing for people that's not budging, homes, will only get fixed if it crashes on it's own or all the rent seekers become desperate to sell because the 20 something illegal aliens they had stuffed inside to milk them of their rent vouchers are all gone.

For me the problem is that the Trump admin is lacking hard on the Color Revolution setup going on that's just a 1:1 repeat with what happened during his first term except there are really close assassination attempts on his head now.
Everybody's primed for violence by the corporate press. Where Antifa does show up, it's allowed to destroy and attack people and nothing meaningful is done about it.
They're starting with the leftist network with the SPLC but they're just the tip of the iceberg. If they aren't going to round up all the Antifa paramilitary homos then they're going to have to go ham on all the domestic and international funders. Corporate and private funders need to be imprisoned and their assets seized.

Yeah good luck with that. The country's debt just surpassed 100% of GDP with nothing to show for it, social security is headed for an iceberg, the military budget is expanded beyond any sane measure and yet the US is low on stockpiles because of the war in Iran, and even then the cost of the INTEREST on the debt is still larger than the entire military budget and will soon surpass social security. Oh and the country is as divided as it has ever been with no real path for reconciliation, at least not under Trump. And all this on top of a stagnating economy and overall inflation, as mentioned.

We're much more likely to be headed directly for a repeat of the GFC than anything positive.

That's it chuds, when the dems win the midterms and the 28 elections we'll have no choice but to submit to our tranny and brown tradcath overlords as they take us to the extermination camps. it's so fucking over we're all going to die :(

The avg nat'l gas price will increase 10-15 cents per week on average until the election. This cannot be stopped much less reversed. That's with the current status quo. If any other infrastructure is destroyed over there it will be much worse.

Look bro, I like you, but “propaganda” is not the main reason people haven’t been liking Israel for a while now. That is straight cope.

It's why the dummies don't like them though. College protestors aren't worried about sovereignty or freedom of expression. They just imagine a nation of people with Downs syndrome getting slam dunked into trash cans and they start weeping.

There's plenty of reasons to downright hate a Jewish supremacist state that is utterly dependent on the largesse of others to even exist. All those reasons were there long before the paragliders showed up.

Eh, I don't think the current status quo remains in Iran, but I also fully expect Democrats to take the House and then completely grind the government to a halt until 2028, leading to all the above issues I mentioned becoming worse and worse as no good-faith solutions are discussed. Just look at the near 3 month shutdown just to fund DHS without ICE, and that's with the republicans having both the house and the senate, lol. Good luck trying to get any of the campaign goals through in 6 months. Shouldn't have burnt down every goodwill bridge for maximalist retardation

yeah, arguably the biggest reason is them literally bombing innocent women and children and people in general (who dindu nuffin) in gaza everyday and committing a literal genocide!!! it's like the shoah Habibi!

I think journalists are peaking right now actually, everyone loves to dunk on inbred rednecks thinking they can run a country. Just look at how much money the new york times is raking in every month, this retarded admin was the best thing to happen to them

Alot of petty crime could solved if we brought back public punishments like the being pilloried or the stockade. Most of the time, petty shit gets dismissed because its too much of an expense on the taxpayer to jail someone for stealing a bag of skittles. If instead you got stuck in a stockade for 12 hours in front of the court house for stealing a bag of skittles, you would think real hard about not doing that shit again.

More serious stuff like resisting arrest? 12 hours in the atockade and 10 strokes of the cane publicly.

We are a civilized society, which is why we don’t do these things. In fact we have better measures. Shoplifters? Clothesline them when they try to run, then place them in a holding cell without painkillers until trial day comes. 24 hours of throbbing pain, alone in a cell, does a lot more than 12 hours in a stockade.

Resisting arrest? Beat them senseless, arrest them, place them in a cell after a health checkup (again, without painkillers), convict them and sentence them to hard labor.

We don’t tie people down and cane them, that is the way of a coward. We can simply beat them on the spot then put them to work when the swelling has reduced enough to see where to swing the pickaxe.

The trick is to never give out painkillers when someone breaks the law and gets beaten for it.

The only journos doing good are the zoomers going around exposing shitskin fraud. Everybody hates corpo press but there are still retards willing to carry their water and trust the gay retarded shit they say (leafs and euros mostly)
Tyler Oliveira is the funnier zoomer journo because he beats up gypsies and spics in Europe.

He's pretty funny, but my argument remains.
