Do you think Hakeem Jeffries does?
I pray that they do.
For sure, scores of Democrats do, and they appreciate they must hold the line against Trump’s corruption, insanity, despotism and cruelty.

You know, I feel like a not-insignificant portion of the US would basically be delighted to live under a benevolent despotism. Maybe 30% would be pretty enthusiastic and another 30% just wouldn't care, and I don't think this is really divided along partisan lines at all

Way too many people forgot that if the US elites wanted convergence with authoritarianism they baked in authoritarianism's weakness. "War turns into sticking one's prick into a hornet's nest" has doomed many a despotism before. Trumpism was never immune to that.

Look, the Indiana GOP is in fact good at maintaining their iron despotism over us, which is why they predicted this, and in return Trump handed Dems a veto in the State Senate.

If 12 Republican senators were to convict Trump they would go down in history as being greater than George Washington and Abraham Lincoln—for they in fact would be responsible for saving the republic from a permanent despotism.

It's beyond time to move past identity politics.
We need policies, and preferably ones that provide for people's needs, return the rule of law from despotism, and don't allow for continuous funding for genocide and the military industrial complex.

Bubbe, you got it backwards. This isn’t TERFs using “gender critical” to sneak in transphobic bullshit. This is despotism and genocide hiding behind barriers of blanket labels of “antisemitism”.

"No affordability agenda can be achieved with an authoritarian executive in place. Challenging Trump’s despotism and self-dealing with every possible tool goes hand in hand with legislating to deliver on so-called kitchen-table issues." thank you @natashalennard.bsky.social
Democrats, Don’t Mess This Up
With these midterm election results, Democrats have a mandate to fight Trump and deliver for the working class. This is what they should do.

After stunning wins, Democrats will hold the majority of governorships nationwide Democrats will be replacing Republican governors in a number of states after Tuesday's election and will hold the majority of governorships nationwide for the first time since 2010. https://www.npr.org/2026/11/05/nx-s1

I harbor them no ill will personally, but I cannot unsee what they have wrought.
They brought the country to the brink of despotism and civil war, and the best defense to be made on their behalf is that they were manipulated by charlatans who exploited their biases.

And they also got more and more of the weaknesses of despotism full-blown while having to try to make that work in democracy, and gaining thus the worst of both worlds. As I said in April 2025 these people are not invincible, and *they* know that damned well.
*Successively*. The Nixon realist crowd got pushed out by the Reagan/Bush neocon crowd got pushed out by the Bush dumb neocon crowd got pushed out by the Trump caveman crowd. Each wave was less restrained & less professional & less capable. And they're not done.
I think you can do worse than to sum up a lot of the Republican Party this century as the story of people who understood American politics overall extremely well but didn't understand their base being replaced by that base
