Outlive Trump that's going to happen for this country too I think he's already a lame duck and the midterms won't help. It's looking more and more likely that Trump's maneuvered himself into a corner. Without allies letting us use their airspace we can't invade Iran with boots on the ground our whole military philosophy is going total control over airspace before infantry. Without that we would be opened up to heavy losses and if you think the midterms are going to be bad for R's this November imagine lots of dead Marines. I really hope Trump's not crazy enough to attempt it anyway!
What’s striking is how many Americans now instinctively believe every election loss, prosecution, deportation fight, or constitutional conflict could spiral into something existential.
That level of institutional distrust is dangerous no matter who’s in power.
At some point we have to confront the deeper issue:
Millions of people no longer believe America’s systems are strong enough to restrain political power consistently or fairly.
That’s a terrifying place for a democracy to drift toward.
I wrote recently about why impeachment and institutional theater were never going to solve the deeper collapse in public trust:

Thanks for a bit of uplifting news.
Of course the main issue they think they have buried is the Epstein files, or as Jimmy Kimmel calls it the Trump-Epstein files.
My thoughts are with the families of the 13 dead Americans whom Trump dismissed so callously.
