Good thing the Democrats already gave up all their leverage for the next six months, or else they might be expected to do something to capitalize on this.
Appeasement isn’t going high. Saying that the Democrats have ever gone high is giving them way too much credit.
Honestly when they resist him, he just goes around saying his amazing, super brilliant, swam draining, anti corruption plans are being hindered by evil corrupt democrats. By stepping back they get blame for doing nothing but Trump gets full blame for the way he manages the country.
The one interesting thing to look for in next election is whether it can be rigged or not.
If yes then that’s the end of US as democracy
If no then Trump could potentially become a sitting duck for the rest of his presidency.
I understand what you mean, but it anyway sounds like a bad strategy. How much suffering just for the hope that things will resolve themselves in the end ?
More over, if he has free hands, I strongly doubt that the next elections in the US will be fair.
Other comments here complete my view: blaming minorities, lack of good quality information etc…
Or… now hear me out… we let America get exactly what it voted for. Democrats can’t keep bailing out the republicans.
It’s a principled take. There are plenty of articles showing it’s Trump’s base that’s receiving a significant portion of injury from his orders and policies. Unless they feel the pain — without democratic intervention to cast blame — these people will never change their minds. They may not in any event, but it has to affect them. It’s either these hard lessons, or we keep spiraling to civil war.
Learn from history.
The privileged voters tried to save trump’s base from itself, but what do they know:

The results also show poorer and less-educated voters now think Republicans best represent them — a reversal from 12 years ago, when Democrat Barack Obama was president. After a deep-dive into the data, here are five takeaways. Democratic support depends on high-income voters Economic realignment has been under way for some time, but hastened in this election. The Democratic party now appears to be the party of high-income voters, not those with low incomes.
Timie for the daily reminder that economic hardships will be blamed on migrants, the gayness, abortions, primary school teachers, et cetera. A recession will fuel fascist agendas.
Just wait until intelligence cuts lead to failures that cause the next 9/11. The disinfo machine will be the next Reichstag Fire.
I don’t think being Gay will crucified like being Trans, if only because Peter Thiel is gay.
I’m not sure about this. You’re thinking of Nazi Germany, where the situation was very, very different.
Trump is a fascist, but he’s also an idiot. And the Holocaust is well known, and well hated even by a large number of his supporters.
The Orange Turd is going to tank things like he always does. Since he is a dictator now there will be no rescue this time.
Putting the guy that hasn’t been at the head of a profitable business in his entire life in a position to influence the US economy was a really really bad idea, twice? Shocking.
All according to Putin’s plans.
stop externalizing the problem, if you Americans don’t learn that there are systemic problems with your country after this and just consider yourself saved when Trump is gone, you’re never going to break this cycle
No offense intended then :)
I guess it both still applies and also doesn’t, wishing you the best through what might be challenging times ahead and likewise for myself here in Canada. Our right wing turn has taken a sharp turn back recently but we’re not out of the woods yet.
