OK, placing down a series of markers:
1) 2026 is going to be a blue wave midterm
2) for the same reason, the 2028 presidential election is going to be a closely contested nail-biter that tests whether JD Vance can inherit trump's cult

Without that, Trump will be unopposed for 4 damn years.
*I know this is illegal, but so is half the next two years so...
Sorry but nope.
They are going to dismantle the whole government.
Dictatorship/King.
Yes they will destroy the Constitution by then. They will have the votes to do so.
I mean, that'd be a nice twist: "OMG. You're right, Mr. Trump. Sorry. You won. 3 times! 🤷♂️"
Very poor physical health.
Extremely poor mental health.

GA state case runs at him - and he is toast.
Loses all his NY appeals with EJ Carroll and finance/election crime.
Musk, Thiel, Vivek, etc. push him out.
2) is bypassing the part where we find out whether Trump is even psychologically capable of naming an inheritor, let alone actively facilitating that inheritance.
And for someone who called him America's Hitler [derogatory]!
It's hard to see anyone inheriting that, and easier to see massive infighting and fragmentation
but who knows anymore in this IRL Upside Down
Because they won this election on the back of "casuals" - voters who don't pay close attention to politics.
To those who voted purely on racism, the needle won't move. They're locked in a death cult.
Unless they succeed in ending our democracy first, Dem trifecta in 2029 seems likely.
That blue wave will reassure democrats that they can win in 2028 by doing whatever they did in 2026. Which will be wrong because of that difference in the electorate
Towards that end, Dems need to actively try to reach "casuals" in the off-season.
Senate can go either way, and the '28 presidential election will rest a lot on candidate quality.
All that attitude does is encourage the same kind of neoliberal knob-twiddling that lost them 2016 and 2024
With Latin and GenZ voters being unexpectedly more R, Ds can't take anything for granted
They need to try harder
(Maybe I'm just wishcasting, tho)
The 22nd Am says he can't be elected POTUS again, but says nothing about running for V.P. And then being elevated if the POTUS resigns.
