The pendulum swing has already started, and judging by the upvotes/downvotes on ol captain dumbasses latest post clusterfrick, the blowback for the country and conservatives is going to be BRUTAL come mid terms.

In his gallant quest to fight "woke" he may end up being the catalyst for the biggest self inflicted catastrophe in modern political history.

It really is like watching a toddler play with a loaded gun.

He doesn't know what he's doing. He never did. And most of the people around him don't either. The thing that sucks the most is he has probably poisoned the well in terms of JD ever being president.

You made a post about Trump, the Trumpkins will now make posts about you.

Which is pretty normal. He's great at unforced errors.

BUT, the democrats are also still very unpopular so he has some margin of error

His biggest margin for error is time because we have the national attention span of a gnat. Things may be very different in the fall and we'll be ok, but if the landscape looks like this and he's still sperging out on social media it could be ugly.

What "conservatives" in DC are there, currently? I haven't seen one in decades.

Also this. If prices are still high from this Iran debacle I can't imagine that works out well for him.

Dude, if you don't think we can't look at virginia and see how radically it's changed in just six months, you're insane.

It will be the end of America fr. Nobody on this board wants that. Maybe VOR and Tboy.

And once again, Im way further right than you. You cant seem to grasp thats why I dislike Trump - its not because I became a liberal, its because he became a neocon

Yep, all he had to do was focus on deportations and the Save Act. Economy would have been booming on Save Act news. Just a complete melt down with everything looking up.

One of the things I pointed out after the election was the internal fractures within the Trump coalition. The downside to the big tent which elected Trump is that so many of the different groups who rallied behind him to defeat the democrats want vastly different things on different issues.

In a campaign, it’s easy to be all things to all people, but governing is a completely different beast.

Congressional Republicans want very different things than voters, and the voters and leaders are all split. The tech bros want very different things than the evangelicals. The anti-woke doesn’t necessarily mean socially conservative, so people with a more “live and let live” attitude don’t like it when republicans legislate morality on social issues any more than when democrats do. Business wants unfettered mass immigration while the citizens want mass deportation. Evangelicals want interventionism abroad while Catholics push for non-intervention or at least a more North America centered focus. The corporatists and the populists want very different things on working conditions.

The reality is that Trump managed to barely band-aid over a civil war in the GOP, and now that governing such a divided coalition has proven difficult, the factions are eating each other again.

They are learning.

I do think one thing the Trump admin has done/been apart of that is pretty impactful was shifting the Overton window back toward the right on a lot of issues. Which I guess you could argue was going to happen regardless, but I'll give them some credit on it.

But Dems are adjusting to it. They have backed down on a few issues on which the public sees them as too crazy, which is good for everyone ultimately.
