As former presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama can tell President Trump today, second terms are difficult even for presidents who seemed stronger, and actually won majorities and claimed mandates, after their reelection.

Oh, the people will be shocked. Then it becomes normal. That is the problem. We should be shocked and not lose sight of the fact that none of this is ok.
Is not a new administration. It is a coup. They're running headlong to dismantle the Federal Government's ability to function, before anyone can react.
They aren't taking over the reins; they're trying to steal the whole carriage.
Respectfully, the people who challenged W and Obama did not have to fear physical harm from those two Presidents’ supporters. This is different. If you’re looking for courage from people who have made their careers feeding at the public trough, you will be left wanting.
I have to disagree. I am shocked - shocked at America's moral collapse in opening the door to this fascist takeover. And I'm pretty damn sure I'm gonna be awed - awed at the monumental damage Trump and his goons will do to the nation's rule of law and democratic norms.
Wow, you are really misreading the reality of the situation. You think he cares about having a mandate? He has power, and that's all he cares about. And as he puts his ppl in place, it will be nearly impossible to overturn his directives through any normal legislative means.
Dems are going to have 48 months to regroup so they'd better start now and DON'T. SHOW. YOUR. HAND! Be cunning and shock the 💩 out of Republicans! Stop being pitiful! Get tough!
The Great Pumpkin 🎃 is getting free money 💰 (and before the Roger’s decision) WAS avoiding prison. He could care less. Cheating at Golf ⛳️ is his 2nd priority after money 💰.
I’m hoping the 2 party system goes away all together. If we had 5 parties instead of 2, we’d have a much better, more representative system than the one we have now.
FFOTUS is a lame duck. Citizens need to be ferocious activists and aggravate their elected representatives everyday about these b.s. moves the felon makes.
If Dems can get their shit together they should collectively pick a winnable candidate and run that person for the next 4yrs. The way DJT campaigned since 2021. Start immediately. Get that person on the podcasts, the MSM, Fox, News Max, et. al. Put progressive policies front & center constantly.
Yuck Endless campaigns,cash transfers from individuals to media empire, perpetuation of the advisor/advertising industry that is now political consultancy. The industry is a vile corruption of electoral politics. Unending rounds of provocation and reaction wears us down. Is that the purpose?
I think the Democratic Party needs a overhaul. They need more young, progressive people that will actually have some balls and fight andgrow a spine because we have to get rid of this parasitic infection that has now infected the White House in the Congress. They have fight fire with fire.
No shock, he’s only been saying he is going to do this for at least a yr. The only awe is that he is dumb enough to think he will get away with this bullshit. His arrogance & vindictiveness coupled with his stupidity will bring him down. Our job is to make sure the prick doesn’t bring America down

In their minds having power now and having power in the future are the same thing.
They aren't taking over the reins; they're trying to steal the whole carriage.
This is NOT a time for more Neville Chamberlains
This IS the time for more Winston Churchills
