Why Stop Trump Now?
This may sound to be too far out to be taken seriously, or maybe I’m just beginning to indulge in my own version of conspiracy theories. But why do I get the impression that the Democrat(ic) Party would be just as happy to let the GOP win the election next year and maintain their majorities in the Senate and the House until 2028?
I have two answers to that question and here they are:
Answer #1 — The only Democrat who seems to be making any noise right now is Bernie Sanders, who’s holding a bunch of ‘tax the rich’ rallies throughout the United States. He appears to be drawing good-sized crowds but he’s just repeating the same spiel he’s been coming out with since he first started appearing at Occupy Wall Street demonstrations in 2011 and he got nowhere then in the same way that he’ll get nowhere now.
Answer #2 — Trump has gotten kicked in his fat ass more times in the last week than anyone can count. Elon Musk’s great DOGE campaign has been declared to be unconstitutional, the deportation of three hundred so-called gang members to El Salvador was halted while the planes carrying those gangsters were already in the air. And now the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court has told Trump to suck it up when he disagrees with a federal judge who won’t do what Trump wants.
