K D Posted May 3 Posted May 3 He's a pretty powerful guy if he sways all of these elections. Now do France and Germany. The numbers are so high that they are throwing people in jail to try and stop the conservative parties from taking over. Democracy indeed. Russia has that kind of Democracy too. You can vote for whoever you want as long as you vote for Putin 2 3

In Canada, voters clearly coalesced against him to protect their country. Hopefully more of the same occurs in Europe.

Not that long ago, the analysts were projecting a massive steamrolling liberal swing toward a Clintonesque America. They were wrong in spectacular fashion. Then they projected a swing toward a Bidenesque liberal America, and they were right. Then they seemed to think JBs command of the presidency was too great for Trump to overcome, and when Trump steamrolled JB at their debate, he didn’t even make it to the race. Then the analysts were all about brat summer and Harris liberalism, wrong again. They’ll be right, they’ll be wrong and time marches on. Either way, Australia isn’t the US, and the US isn’t Australia.

Either way, Australia isn’t the US, and the US isn’t Australia. Exactly. I worked in DC a long time ago (started under Bush 41, ended under Clinton's 2nd term). So I've seen these predictions come and go. There was "The Coming Republican Majority" thing under Reagan/Bush 41. Then Clinton won (with some thanks to Ross Perot). Then it was a golden age of centrist Democrats coming. Then Bush 43 won (with some thanks to Ralph Nader and Florida senior citizens), and it was the new kinder/gentler Republican Age with lots of "what will Democrats do now" thinking. Then it was Obama and Republicans In Disarray. Then it was Trump's New Coalition and Dems in Disarray. Then it was Trump Has Taken the Republicans Down a Political Dead End and the desire for a return to normalcy. Then it was The Revenge of Trumpism and Biden/Kamala Have Taken Democrats Down a Dead End and the end of (non-white/non-LGBTQ) identity politics. American political coalitions shift all the time. What won in 2012 doesn't win in 2028. What won in 2024 may not win in 2028. "The party in power is always smug and arrogant; the party out of power is always insane." 1
