      Imagine having 4 years to prepare

      With all the state apparatus behind them announcing day and night that Trump was “literally the worst human bean ever”

      Basically all the universities and all the highly educated population by their side

      With massive approval from their voter base

      With huge sums of money for propaganda in the private media.

      With all the considerably large powers of the current executive

      Able to pass laws

      Able to influence worldwide political movements to bash their opposition at any time through grants

      Able to start or stop wars worldwide should the need arise

      And they still lost to Trump LMAO 🤣

        All because they were unwilling to admit that the working class is struggling and that they were complicit in a genocide.

        They’ve run against him three times, and lost more than half the time. Who wants to bet they’ll win in four years when Trump decides to ignore the Constitution and run again?

        Democrats lost the 2024 election in the 2020 election. Biden was a moderate that solved nothing, making poor white people angrier.

        The only ways to make poor white people less angry will make billionaires angry.

      It was a weird thing to say at the time since liberals (meaning Democrats in their use) have had plenty of presidencies and even weirder to say now that they just had a presidency. People must be absolutely seething at Marxist and anarchists by that metric.
