What the 8 Democrats did was to green light Trumps agenda to drive this country into a massive recession or worse a depression.
These 8 Democrats were not looking out for their constituents or other people.
This is a betrayal of our democracy at the expense of those 8 Democrats. It will cost Americans taxpayers dearly, because Trump is going to push forward with his agenda of destroying our economy and our freedoms!
What were they promised in the end? We will never know. But they sold out to Trump for one reason or another?
Where do the Democrats go from here? I have no clue. The momentum that we had just was wasted. Trump just seems to be one step ahead of the Democrats.
One thing is for certain? The GOBers will not stop until they destroy everything that has been built to protect the American people and the Constitution. And that is the end of the outcome we all want.
It is another gut punch after all the hard work people put into building this country.
I will finish by saying what a pathetic state of affairs we are living in and I pray for an end of a dictatorship soon rather then later.

(5,110 posts)He is simply ruthlessly efficient at getting what he wants. He is willing to sacrifice ANYONE and ANYTHING to satisfy his thirst for power and revenge.
And the Supreme Court made him legally untouchable.
The only way to stop him is to remove him, and we need to elect more Democrats for that to happen.

(50,304 posts)Mass firings and ending programs and government funding, tariffs, mass deportations, screwing higher education and ending grants, bullying corporations to end DEI programs, cutting health and science research, etc.
They want a servant class of desperate low wage Americans dumb enough to blame someone else besides the party that controls all branches of government.
The solution is to elect more Dems to take the majority in congress in 2026. And eventually the presidency and courts. Release the Epstein files.
