There are obvious flaws in the plan to sit back, hand the GOP lots of rope, and wait for normal politics to reassert itself 22 months from now. But let's say it all works like they're hoping it does. Then what? What comes next under the bold leadership of Speaker Jeffries and Chuck Schumer? - ThreadSky

The loud bark of laughter I gave at the thought of Schumer and Jeffries as the leaders of ANYTHING doesn’t speak well of their character. They make Pelosi and Feinstein look like Eugene Debs and Mother Jones.

What? You aren't excited for some tax cuts and non-refundable rebates toward a down payment on a house while your boss stomps your entire life into little tiny pieces?

I guess let's all just try not to think about what kind of flaming wreckage the country is going to be if we just kick back, hit that Donate button, and let these guys go at it for two years!

Feels like every hour these guys spend in charge is going to take a month to undo even under the best circumstances, and I can't really believe that the current Democrats are within the same time zone as the "best circumstances"

been pondering what team 'look forward not back' will do about these freaks assuming some kind of political realignment and I'm pretty sure the answer is "fuck all"

Shumer is fine with the fascism as long as it’s not uncouth.
