Democrats play the long game and are great at enacting policies that take time to slowly erode the fabric of America.
Take the 1965 Immigration and Nationality Act. How did it make life worse in 1967? It didn’t. 1970? Hardly. 2025? We have 3rd world brother frickers writing legislation.

I don’t know that I actually qualify as a “leftist”, but my life will be better if I don’t have to hear Trump spewing nonsense everytime he’s in front of a camera and has a microphone. Also, it’s nice when the White House doesn’t make political hay by playing on prejudices and sowing division, not to mention respect for the Constitution. My blood pressure and coronary health are better with the Democrats in control…

“Board leftists” seems to be anyone who doesn’t blindly support Trump.
He spent too long as the sole "decider" in a closely-held corporation. He thinks that he is the CEO of the USA. He isn't. He is just the head of one of the three co-equal branches of government, but he expects the other branches (especially the Republicans in those branches) to bow and kowtow to him.
I don't think he is Hitler or a dictator or any such silly thing. I just don't think he has a very good understanding of US governement and the US Constitution.

It's a matter of what's most important.
What's most important to our well-being as a society is freedom and rule of law. Trump is eroding the rule of law. Democrats have as well, but Trump much more aggressively. Look around at other countries and you can see how important the rule of law is.
The results of Trump's erosion of the rule of law will not appear over night. It's like a long term compounding investment, but negative. Slowly over time we'll be poorer and poorer and less free
ETA:
You made several other thoughtful posts after this one. I hope you stick around and keep posting on this board.
Be warned, you will be subject of multiple personal attacks in every thread where you post. You will need a thick skin.

It's a pretty wide ranging impact, pro or con. How can you be certain it's not impacted you?
What are we even doing here?

Your 3 examples of Trump eroding the rule of law are:
1. A Wikipedia article about Trump pulling privileges of law firms who participated in lawfare
2. An article from the left wing ABA about USAID being shut down
3. A poll
None of those are examples of Trump eroding the rule of law. Biden arrested parents for talking against tranny rape in PTA meetings. Biden worked with social media companies to ban citizens' speech.
Do you have any examples like that? Something that actually takes away people's freedom?

The psychology of Leftist mass movements and individuals has been the study of my life. Long time posters here know that. There is very little that I said here in 2004 or 2007 about the psychology of The Left that has not come to pass. Both on an International scale and with individuals.Leftists are only constrained by their appetites on any given day. There is no ideological bedrock-they are entirely ruled by their appetites. In this way it is an overwhelmingly feminine movement. It is chaos, not order. It appeals to those with resentments and grievances and it has no end- just an eternal expansion of the Overton Window. This is the narcissistic center of Leftism- Man as God- The very nature of man perfected through The State. This is Wokeism in a nutshell. A fundamentalist psuedo- religion in every respect. Meant to reform you morally from the outside in. One can not disagree with it and be a good person. Acceptance of Leftist orthodoxy IS the definition of being a good person within the group. And no dissent is allowed without shaming, exiling, struggle sessions etc.
Unfortunately for humanity it can kill 100 million in less than a century. Fortunately for humanity, because it is doomed to fail, it always eats itself.
In short, people with flawed psychology gravitate towards bad ideas. The psychology informs the politics and not the other way around. And no movement besides Islam collects more bad ideas than Marxism/ Materialism/ Leftism/socialism/ communism.

Interesting talking point considering all the victims of “DEI” and “feminism” who post here ad nauseum
Certainly , even a bumper sticker slogan dolt like you is intelligent enough to understand the critical distinction between having external locus of control and Instituting INJUSTICE ( DEI ) as a condition of believing The State should have its thumb on the scale and and having internal locus of control and believing in MERITOCRACY . One seeks justice through injustice, the other seeks justice through content of character and competency. One is virtuous and one is not. One creates victims intentionally the other acknowledges the reality of human nature and human talent. You are, as always, on the wrong side of this. The Leftist side, the one that always ends in ignominy.
Edit- And honestly, I wouldn’t even say that DEI advocates seek justice, I’d say they seek POWER under the guise of justice. And they convince girls like you , who do believe in justice, that blatant discrimination IS justice. A rather miraculous assault on rational thought and critical thinking, but one that bumper sticker slogan level thinkers like yourself gobble up.

Your treatise on justice, that one approach seeks it by kneeling at the altar of grievance while the other seeks it through the alchemical refinement of character and competency, reads as if chiseled from some lost Stoic scribe and rediscovered behind a Dollar General.
May your wisdom continue to spill forth in long, uninterrupted paragraphs, challenging the feeble, the distracted, and the tragically unlettered to aspire to basics like “internal locus of control,” even as they struggle to locate the shift key. Truly, your work here is nothing short of civilizational stewardship, and we, the unworthy, await the next scroll.

Wow. This is an impressive amount of capital letters for one paragraph. Working Hard to channel Trump’s disregard for the RULES of Proper Capitalization, I see. Never stop RESISTING.
But let me try to follow your logic.
On one side, we have “MERITOCRACY,” which you’ve presented with the solemnity of a Marvel villain unveiling his origin story. On the other side, we have “DEI,” which, according to you, is apparently a shadowy cabal dedicated to manufacturing victims like some kind of emotional sweatshop, similar to the sweatshops that produce your beloved and timeless MAGA trucker hats.
And somewhere in the middle is the Locus of Control, which you’ve treated like it’s the One Ring from Lord of the Rings. If anyone touches the wrong locus, society collapses into the flaming chasm of IGNOMINY.
Please understand: I admire your confidence. Most people need nuance, evidence, or a single coherent metaphor to make a political argument. You, however, rely solely on vibes and the caps-lock key. Impressive.

I am certain the irony of this accusation is completely lost on such a sophisticated thinker as yourself, so allow a picture to state what a thousand words could not:
You can thank HFM disease for these early morning musings.
