President Donald Trump told voters to pretend he was on the ballot in this year’s midterm elections.

They did. And they resoundingly rejected both his policies and his Republican Party.

Democrats have captured full control of Congress, NBC News projects, with voters delivering a forceful repudiation of Trump’s agenda, coupled with a clear-cut message that Congress has not done enough to provide checks on his administration and needs to do more to address affordability and corruption.

    Everyone said “trump is not leaving office”

    And they said, “the corporate Dems share the same donors as MAGA”

    Neither of those has been disproven and we will quickly see how constrained they are and how no one can be held accountable. That is what people have been saying and that is not a psyop. It is 40 years of data

        It should frighten you more that they would even think that they can just go on living after all they’ve done. And all of you will accept Democrats working WITH him? Allowing him to taint this country and the office for another two years of more illegal and immoral corruption? Do you think they are going to stop Kushner? The cryptobribes? The secret Russia trips? Elon sabotaging Ukraine? Him selling secrets? Him and all of his cronies destroying the Epstein files? All of the missing oil and money from Venezuela? Assassinating an ICC Investigator that was looking into his WARCRIMES?

        And to you, this is winning?

                Honestly their arguments aren’t that unreasonable, I don’t think it’s entirely invalid to not be asking questions about a guy who has absolutely murdered and raped literal children

                    They’ve let a bunch of oligarchs slowly coup the government in broad daylight over the course of half a century… we’ve been waiting far longer than a week lol. Also not defeated whatsoever, it’s just the expectation with these people who have intentionally crippled the party with people like Fetterman.

                    You are acting like we haven’t been here before. Are you new to politics?

                    The Dems outlined their priorities, ACA tax credits. Thats not good enough and that is not the sign of an opposition party. A real party would have had Project 2028 and would begin implementing everything that they could and destroying project 2025. It’s telling that this is not a goal at all.

                    Either way, whatever, people don’t get it or they don’t care
