    Unfortunately this is the sad reality we live in. Trump could outright admit it himself on national broadcast, and his cult would still follow him.

    If you think that “defeatist” comment is wrong, check back in after a few days, let me know how that turns out. I hope for everyone’s sake you are correct, but I doubt it

    Because the question is not what should happen but about what you think will (likely) happen.

    Based on the past this answer is the most likely by a huge margin even if depressing.

      Delusional people expect everyone to be delusional with them. “3 days after SNAP is cut there will be revolution in the USA!”. Yeah, for sure buddy.

    Because I’m tired of this illegitimate felon squatter in the White House getting away with all this bullshit and any time he “takes a loss” all he has to do is nothing.

    Court orders mean jack shit if he can just ignore them and have no consequences. I don’t even k ow why they’re so scared of this Epstein stuff. Like they’ll have any real consequences? What’s gonna happen, a strongly worded letter of disapproval?

    “Loss” after “loss”, and no consequences that mean anything. It’s hard to have faith when this happens over and over again.

      In this case, the post was asking for people’s expectations regarding this story specifically, and the response is entirely valid. It’s very reasonable to think that this one news story isn’t likely to be the tipping point.

      It’s different when people reply to every story that is in any way bad for Trump with a comment about how none of it matters, nothing will change, and no one cares. As though anything that doesn’t result in Trump being immediately impeached, incarcerated, or inhumed is completely worthless. Much like how sit ups are useless because no matter how many I do today, I still won’t have a six pack when I’m done.

      All those comments do is demoralize people and discourage them from trying to support opposition to Trump in any way.

        Believing in the manifestation of ones own destiny is far too close to victim blaming for me.

        And for that reason, I’m out.

    They aren’t wrong, haven’t you been paying attention? I doubt there’ll even be the 30 seconds.
