Going off history as a guide, I’d expect the following:

Said leftist government would control Washington and the US for at least two decades. That’s what happened in the wake of FDR and the New Deal. In fact, term limits for the presidency didn’t exist until FDR.

Corporate business leaders would try assassinate as many of these leftist politicians as they could.

As for the how, Diaper Donald is showing you and us now. Norms, rules, laws, none of it matters, and frankly, none of it should as the country has so many hardships facing it. It’s shameful that Democrats have allowed the Manchins and parliamentarians and all these goddamn excuses serve as a means to allow the poor and middle class’s wealth to be pilfered by criminal capitalists who don’t even need the money.

Leftists fight back by making it personal. When a Manchin says no, you threaten to have the Justice Department investigate his daughter for running a company that price gouges for insulin. When a Sinema says she won’t vote your way, you pull all of her committee assignments so her value to lobbyists goes to zero and the extra checks stop coming. Every politician has a weakness. You find it and pour salt on it, just like Donald is doing to every person that stands in his way.

In short. You stop saying you fight, get dirty, and do it. After this presidency, no one should ever humor the Democratic excuse that they lack power to create change.

Sometimes I enjoy just basking in the dark morass of my own thoughts.

I’m not generally one to blame the voters because Donald lied to them about everything except immigration, but he spent his entire first administration trying to cut their health care, so it is a little dumb that they voted for a second helping.

I hope they enjoyed the articles about his kickass Halloween party.

Proud that my only pwned password is three decades old.

Nice to see that, at least somewhere on this rock, wannabe tyrants are held accountable.

GOOD

It’s not perfect, but it would be a good start.

There’s far, far too much evidence of negative impacts to children and young adults from social media, particularly in terms of mental health.

Every military, in every country, in every empire, in all of human history has used rape as a weapon of imperialism.

It’s a feature of our species. (A shitty one, let’s not be unclear, but a feature.)

I didn’t see nothing.

Neither did you.

Oof, yeah. Having to make group decisions with money is tough.

Partly why I love being single and childless.

May the odds be ever in your favor.

that is the time to buy in more, not the time to sell.

1000000%

That’s the other side of my strategy, having my portfolio in cash means I can reinvest at the new fire sale prices.

I was able to pay off my student loans by buying oil stock at a 90% discount in March 2020 and then waiting a few years for the rebound. You don’t even need to be rich to do it, just patient.

Yeah, this economy has given me the heebie-jeebies for the last quarter now.

Unless you’re a billionaire or on a signal chat in Washington, I don’t know how you can feel good about what’s happening.

My plan is to stay invested until dividends hit in December, and then I’m going to evaluate moving my investments into a money market or bonds. Amazon’s numbers show that consumers are still buying, and my assumption is that consumer spending will hold off the pop for now.

I 100% expect a massive crash, and when it’s just seven companies propping up an entire economy, the pop is going to be very bad. I’d rather lose a little value in the short term than have my portfolio drop to a calamitous degree and have to wait 5-10 years for it to recover.

*not a FA, just my personal plan

This just tells me that Israel has pedo videos of the decision makers at Google.

I’m speaking for common sense.

In 2016 and 2024, Dems needed those votes. It’s objectively stupid to mock people’s starvation when you need their support.

It’s 100% factual.

Unless you haven’t had to buy groceries yourself for the last six years.

A lot of them didn’t vote for people to suffer.

They voted for change because Democrats prioritized genocide over helping American families’ ability to put food on the table.

they wanted to hurt others.

That’s not inherently true. They watched their various costs of living double at least under Biden. Did you honestly expect people to continue to vote Dem when Dems, through their political activity, prioritized things like Israeli genocide over Americans struggling to put food on the table?

“If you’re the wrong jersey color we don’t care if you starve.”

Helluva campaign slogan, Dems. You totally don’t need those votes in 2026 and beyond.
