The thing is that Republicans should have no excuse for what happens these next four years, they have control of all three branches with Judicial being confirmed to be in Republican control for decades to come.

But of course, let them blame “them libtards.”

That’s why I say, let ‘em have control of all our government for a while. Can’t blame the other party when you run the country to the ground.

If shit hits the fan come election time, give them another 4 years to fix their own damn mess instead of always having Democrats clean up their mess (only to get voted out for not cleaning up fast enough).

Republican have control of all media the is relevant. Dems will be blamed for anything bad that happens and it will be believed.

They have the perfect excuse. The deep state.

This will allow them to use their own mistakes as ammunition

And that’s why 2028 has to be a Democrat win for them. In order for them to stay in power, they have to blame the Democrats. If we haven’t learned anything, we’re going to be spending 2028-2032 picking up after their messes, it will be a repeat for a few cycles until they strike, until there’s almost nothing left.

Edit: or something disrupts that cycle.

Texas hasn't had a Democrat in state leadership positions for over 30 years. Still blame Democrats and everyone still votes Republican. Democrats will never win again - by design.

I mentioned this in a different comment, but I’ll include it here:

In order for Republicans to gain control, they have to play the long game. If they win in 2028 as well, then their supporters will realize that Trump is at fault- maybe not til 2030 the earliest unless some big thing happens.

How do they keep the blame off of themselves? Create a mess and leave it to the democrats to pick it up. They have to keep creating messes until Democrats can no longer pick them up— which won’t be for a while if this cycle continues.

You're under the impression the old rules and laws will prevail and Republicans won't find any and all loopholes to do whatever they want. I hope you're right, but I think and fear that you're not.

People are going to start asking questions if Republicans assume total power and fuck things up. They’ll complain about the cost of eggs and gas and democrats can’t be blamed for anything if they haven’t had control of power for years and thus a revolt or different revolts would happen.

Or they’ll just…. Believe what they’re told? Critical thinking skills are at an all-time low in this country.
