Most of what trump was on about sounded so ridiculous, his base just wrote it off as ‘rattling the libs’. Dems wrote him off as ‘theres no way an idiot like this would get elected’, twice. Both got surprised in their own way.

Most of my dem circle knew what was coming.
My fam is still freaking out at the small shit. He hired this person, he fired that person while the more sweeping horrors are almost passing over them without notice.
I’m like Focus! Compartmentalize! I don’t care that they replaced the head of the FBI and fired all the generals, that was a given. Watch what he does with those seats. Watch what Russia does. We’re under new ownership and the call is NOT coming from inside the house.

I’m not so worried about his people - theyre just the distraction. But some of the policy changes are,.wow.
Any idea what could happen once the tipping point is reached? I mean, how likely is it that the houses of representatives flip on their current stance?

We are an oligarchy now. You can’t just change out the head of the organization and fix that. The vast majority of Congress is owned by corporate greed.
The only change that’s going to work is going to be big ugly nasty change.
