Friends on Facebook who have posted for 6-9 months about how the election of Trump v2.0 would mean the end of American democracy are now posting about how they expect to retake the U.S. in 2026 and 2028 via selecting candidates who aren’t as brain dead as Biden-Harris-Walz.
The mind of the typical Democrat seems to be summed up in this tweet from Kerry Kennedy, sibling of the traitor RFK, Jr.:
Yesterday was a bad day for our country, for our democracy, for our economy, for our party, for our family, and for ourselves. I’ve lived through 15 presidential elections, and this is not different because it is amplified or more extreme, but because it is fundamentally different. We are facing an incoming president and administration that have developed multiple, detailed plans for a fascist takeover of every department of the federal government. … But I’ve felt beat down before. And despite all of this, I’m confident we will survive. … We have two years until midterms, when we can make a comeback.
Donald Trump will be a dictator. As commander of the U.S. military, the FBI, etc. he will have practical powers to implement a police state that previous dictators worldwide could never have dreamed of. Yet at the same time, there is no doubt that free and fair elections will be held in 2026 and 2028 during which time Democrats can regain power.
(Separately, Democrats tell us that intelligence, conscientiousness, and criminality aren’t heritable. Thus, there is no reason to expect children of the unsuccessful to be unsuccessful themselves and any lack of success must be attributed to racism, xenophobia, etc. At the same time, political wisdom is heritable, which is why we should listen to advice from children of famous Democrats.)
Speaking of the Democrat mind, let’s check out what their thought leaders have had to say. AOC in 2021 wanted to “end minority rule … end the filibuster, expand the court” to “protect our democracy”:
Here’s one from Ilhan Omar in which she would “save our democracy” by abolishing the filibuster and also making sure that whoever won the popular vote would be the new dictator:
CNN on the popular vote:
Rashida Tlaib agreed that the minority party in the Senate should be stripped of all power and whoever happens to be in the White House should appoint 4,8,12, or however many more additional Supreme Court Justices are necessary for Justice:
Will these wise females, all of whom were wisely reelected by their constituents, spend 2025 working toward expanding the Supreme Court and abolishing the filibuster?
How about the “thought followers”, i.e., my friends in the Northeast and California who do and think whatever the New York Times tells them (e.g., “Biden is not senile”; “be enthusiastic for Kamala now”). One Trump alarmist said that the peasants should now “organize” (how many dictatorships have been overturned by a peasant rebellion?). A Manhattan-based doomsayer:
Which brings us to 2016, the last time I felt the way I feel this morning. Nearly all the polls predicted Hillary Clinton would beat Trump to become the first woman president. … hopefully the Democrats will analyze and learn something from this experience and put forth stronger candidates in the future.
The people who said that 2024 would be the last election in the U.S. if Trump were elected now say that they’ll offer “stronger candidates in the future”. Stronger candidates for what? Student council presidency? HOA board membership? The smartest people in America told us that there wouldn’t be additional elections for the House, Senate, or White House in the event of a Nakba (Trump victory).

What these people don’t seem to realize is that the election WAS the peasant uprising against the “Our Democracy,” which was a fascist dictatorship that on DAY ONE issued an EO enforcing very extreme interpretation of trans ideology into all public schools, used proof of acceptance of novel mRNA-based therapy as a basis to implement the Mark of the Beast[1], persecuted the Amish, and prosecuted its political enemies.
And it was fascist in the truest sense because The Party itself was intertwined with and coordinated with BLM/Antifa shock troops, the legacy media, academia, and corporations.
Those who hope for freedom can only pray that their lack of self-awareness will persist.

@PhiG First Congratulation on electing your/our guy as next President. I am a brown registered Democrat(Fiscally conservative but Social Liberal) from the great state of FL and voted for Trump this time even though I do not agree with him 80% of the time. You have been pointing out for last 4 years on how Democrats saying Trump is a threat to Democracy. How about you start writing on how Democracy will flourish under Trump and how he is going Make America Great Again.
Woke culture has weakened. Many people have realized that the obsession with minorities is actually anti-majority and therefore anti-democracy. Democrats promote tyranny and not the other way around. The other point that Trump will hopefully achieve is to end the UN, at least as it is now.
Republicans haven’t been long for office since 1988. Hard to imagine what a republican congress & executive would change. They can’t shrink the government. They can’t afford a military buildup. The voters are still liberal. In 4 years, they’ll be back to Dilbert & Romney again while democrats have Gavin Newsom & the Calif* dream for all.
@lion for last 20 years whenever a Democrat is in the office when it comes to raising debt ceiling they say they don’t want increase till the spending is cut and borrow less. With trifecta they will show how it is done.
Here’s how dictator Trump plans to end free speech and take control of the media:

It turns out that I agree with Representative Omar about something: SCOTUS should have term limits! Congress should too!
As long as we’re taking politician’s public speech as representative of their true beliefs and goals (hah!), how will Trump/Musk will cut $2T of spending from the $6.8T federal budget?
“Elon Musk claimed he can eliminate at least $2 trillion from the federal budget, laying out his vision for substantial government spending cuts if Donald Trump wins the presidency.”
“Trump has said he would ask Musk, the world’s richest person and a major donor to the Republican nominee’s campaign, to head up an effort to cut government spending, nicknamed the Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, a reference to a cryptocurrency Musk has embraced.”
