I don't think they need to worry, the dems like losing a lot more.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

So they get power and do a bunch of shitty things. Then no one wants them in power anymore. Seems the country was doing quite well without them at the helm. Now....not so much.
So, there is a silver lining?!
Notice how he worries about HIS job... he couldn't care less about the harm to the country or the people
Don't threaten us with a good time...
I used to be a swing voter before Trump, after this admin, I will never vote for a Republican again. Especially since most support him.
I will go to my grave before I support a Republican for anything. I wouldn't vote for a Republican for street sweeper.
Really? I don't think your idiot voters will remember for longer than 5 years. And with an opposition like the Dems it'll be easy for you to get back into power. Don't overestimate the Americans. We all made that mistake once.
Inshallah
It would be too soon, if we got rid of them and these Corpo Dems. We could remove citizens United and few other worthless pieces of legislation. That and stop this fucking election tampering in the name "stopping fraud" fucking clowns making voting a single day during the work week and these Red hatted goons cheer for this shit like the mouth breathing inbred ghouls they are because they hate everyone else is beyond annoying.
Citizens United wasn't legislation, it was a Supreme Court decision. The only way to fix it following the current rules is to ask the court again or to change the Constitution. Of course, if you are willing to just ignore laws then you have many options (see current Presidential administration for examples).
No. Congress absolutely has the authority to enact legislation that overturns a court decision, even the Supreme Court.
However, the disgusting piles of human shaped filth currently making up the Supreme Court would find some illogical excuse for why said law is unconstitutional. But only once one of there lackeys manages to appeal the issue all the way up the chain. But this process IS utterly corrupt and subverts the Constitution...not like they care. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
But courts are given authority only to interpret existing legislation; their decisions do not restrict the legislature's authority to enact new laws. Thus the convoluted shit they come up with to abuse the appeals process, as mentioned.
Not sure why you were downvoted for stating facts, guess they hurt someone’s feelings as a certain annoying little gremlin loved to say
Hawaii was recently successful in enacting state laws to limit campaign contributions. I'd hope that other states willing to tackle the fight could do the same. The biggest chance would be if it could be done in battleground states.
Republicans should be wiped out. Fools, monsters, and traitors. They've done incalculable damage to the world and all those who live here.
Every Republican that dies should be cause for celebration.
Maybe when the MAGA dorks try to convince us this is short term for long term gain; what they don't realize is ousting the republican stranglehold on the country is the long term gain.

Good, and we should wipe out the Schumers Pelosis and Jeffries too. Maybe get rid of these goofy ass mega corps
Of course that’s all he cares about. Fuck him, I hope he loses everything he holds dear.
"During this two-to-five-year period, asserted Bezmenov, what matters is the targeting of essential structural elements of a nation: economy, foreign relations, and defense systems. Basically, the subverter (Russia) would look to destabilize every one of those areas in the United States, considerably weakening it."
We are here: attacking Canada, Greenland, Mexico (damaging our economy & theirs, and clearly our foreign relations) Trump also offered to cut defense spending if Russia does. It's all very obvious if you're not in the cult.
The Republican party deserves to die for allowing Donald Trump to rise to power. The Democrat party deserves to die for being useless to stop them. America needs a whole new fresh start with new parties
or better yet, no parties at all and force some of our morons to actually learn their candidates beyond just party lines.
Idk, I'd totally be in favor of ranked voting; with several parties that correspond to music genres where people could identify the party's values based on vibes. Ex: Acid Polka Party, Nu Delta Blues Party, Hyper Uplifting Metal Party, etc.
See, they thought they could control him, like they did Reagan, and Bush Jr. Bush Sr. went along willingly.
But Trump is an overgrown 5 year old, and needs to feel he's in charge. Like any typical narcissist.

I was wondering when he would pop his Rational Self-Interest head up. He's been uncharacteristically silent for a while, not performing his usual contrarian stunts for attention. He was smart enough to keep his head down for this insanity.
But when something threatens his money, he'll be there.
Hopefully the republicans can go the way of the whigs, the democratic party can become the conservative party they so desperately want to be, and we can create an actual party on the left.
I've wanted this for ages. And it's represented so well in Republicans having only one platform: "Oppose Democrats. If it makes a Democrat angry, do it."
Cleanse - and I mean CLEANSE - the opposition party. No one here can claim the Democrats never have good ideas. And yet, we can definitely do better than them. A better party means having better ideas - not just "Stop them libruls". Bernie just toured the States with a message of exactly what that would look like.
