Summary
Democrats should shift from attempts to remove Trump to turning the White House into a prison.
Trump has historically faltered under the presidency’s pressures, as seen during the Covid-19 pandemic, due to bad ideas and a lack of interest in public service.
By forcing Trump to address real issues—like economic crises, public health threats, and policy failures—Democrats can counter his “I alone can fix it” rhetoric.
This approach includes aggressive media campaigns and blocking GOP initiatives without significant concessions.
I think this presidency will be different. People are fucking tired. Both sides want shit to cost less and the news just perpetuates anger and distrust. We are too busy working to focus on it anymore.
Last time, especially during covid, I glued myself to reddit and news. I was was fucked up. Terrified. I thought I was going to die. There’s cause for concern, but there not much can do on a national level. This time, I’m focusing on my family, my well being, and what matters most. I will probably delete Lemmy and other news apps tomorrow except for my local newspaper.
I’m ok. My kids will be ok. My wife will be ok. My family, friends, and dogs will be ok. If not? I’ll worry about it then. We were all mortal before Trump and we’re still mortal. I’ll focus my energy on those I love and not that piece of shit and the billionaire news moguls want me to. Eat the rich.
Edit: Sorry my optimism didn’t fit in with the circlejerk. What I meant to say was we are all going to die and there’s no hope for any of us. That should get more upvotes here. My bad.
You (the People) will be scammed/cheated/pillaged/repressed/etcetera even harder this time.
Go ahead and downvote me for trying to make it through a hard time with positivity. Enjoy your negatively bias.
It’s not positivity. It’s “I’ve got mine, so fuck you.”
No. It’s not.
No down votes from me: all power to you bro! That’s probably the only healthy option.
Good luck to you and your loved ones, friend.
“I’m ok. My kids will be ok. My wife will be ok. My family, friends, and dogs will be ok. If not? I’ll worry about it then.”
I tried to tell myself that, and then Fascist deepthroaters started getting really excited about “acquiring” my country after it was economically eviscerated.
What country? Sorry for being optimistic. I should have been more sensitive to your situation. Next time I go outside of the sadness circlejerk I’ll check with your country first to see if it’s ok to have my own opinion.
