Personally I'm more concerned about how America can achieve a reversal from MAGA itself. Looking beyond all the horserace stuff day to day, I encouraged the non-MAGA crowd to focus on priorities.
Here's a comment that I posted to Yahoo! News:
The main thing is to protect access to the polls. We must ensure that the mid-terms are even held. If Trump senses the walls are closing in, what might he do? Let the people decide, they may well want a turnaround from MAGA, or at least a president who represents the USA with greater civility and courtesy.
"Abe" responded:
That won’t happen Brian. MAGAs will not defect from their hero and would rather go to civil war. I live in a predominantly MAGA town. The things I hear at the gym, the stores, the restaurants, the coffee shops etc. are absolutely astonishing, shocking, and nauseating. I am a minority and they couldn't care less that I could hear them. And check this out - most of the trash talking comes from MAGA women! As I’ve pointed out numerous times already: “It’ll be a long and chaotic 4 years - so hold tight, buckle up, and ride the rollercoaster ride to hell."
"Isaac" responded:
LOL. Are we really going back to the "walls closing in" narrative? I'm pretty sure there are already meme compilations making fun of it.
"Brandon" responded:
Trump will "postpone" elections next year under the pretense of a national emergency.
"Terry" responded:
Each state is in charge of their elections. The voters will be voting in huge numbers to try to get our country back.
"L.J. Silver" responded:
Yes, I totally believe Trump is going to attempt to scratch the midterms. In fact, I believe it a certainty.
"Knobhead" responded:
I sincerely doubt that even the Trump-corrupted Supreme Court would tolerate Trump and his Project 2025 partners in crime claiming some kind of national emergency so that Trump could declare martial law and cancel the 2026 mid-term elections. That would be too extreme even for the Conservative 6.
"Mary" responded:
Civility and courtesy are sorely lacking, I don't think he cares, just alienate everyone. I wish someone would rescue us.
"Alan" responded:
Not just access but actual votes too. It's ironic that the party that is so quick to accuse the other of "stealing the election" is possibly guilty of just that. Look at the pending lawsuit in NY. A blue district that re-elected a Democratic senator by a landslide in the last election showed "0" votes for Harris. Tell me that isn't fishy.
"David R." responded:
Maybe some of his own loyal subjects will finally see the light.
"Jeff" responded:
It’s all smoke and mirrors to hide the fact that he is making a power grab and his sheep will follow.
"CVC" responded:
I think Trump is not worried about any midterm elections or polls because he thinks he can make the voice of the people totally irrelevant. I hope he isn’t right.
"EN" responded:
If Trump declares martial law, that might actually wake up the Republicans to impeach or enact the 25th Amendment. Everything will crash, the economy, the stock market, banks etc. I won't say Trump won't try. I don't think it will last long though.
"Untechsavvy" responded:
Musk has admitted a couple of times that he can easily hack into the voting machines, and based on Harris losing by a sliver he could have done just that. I worry that voting machines are no longer safe. Not that I have a solution but maybe we need to go back to the old-fashioned way before machines.
"Cenythia G" responded:
And we want a POTUS without a criminal record, and a WH and cabinet that does not pleasure in lies and hurting of others.
"Kenny" responded:
America wants a president that gets things done. Trump is working to do what he said he would do. Poor little spoiled lawmakers are getting their feelings hurt, and quitting. Good for America. We don't need the weaklings running the country. The left is mad because they're losing their taxpayer-funded cash cow. Facts will still be facts, no matter how much you cry foul.
"Gus" responded:
And what Democrat do you think exhibits those qualities? Newsom? He's a joke that has destroyed an already decaying California. Harris again? Again she's an even bigger joke than Newsom. Good luck with finding a left winger with those so-called qualities.
"PC" responded:
Question here: Am I wrong to imagine I remember reading that there is a section of the "big beautiful bill" that will allow DJT to suspend elections? I could have sworn there was mention of that early-on in the discussion of that bill. Anyone know whether I am making this up?
"Mr. Mustard" responded:
One side of the human psyche is always available for inroads with the types who see their privilege slipping. . .
"Hieronymous" responded:
If anyone thinks this is an alarmist overreaction, they should read about how Hitler came to supreme power in 1930s Germany.
