Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

So are they going to throw officers in the brig because they made tactical mistakes? I'm getting a feeling (maybe it's hopium) that these people are like a dog catching a car.

a dog catching a car

The Trump Train is going at ramming speed. But even if the 2026 elections are a gimmie for the dems - never underestimate their fantastical abilities in fucking up. My wild guesses are that "patriotism" or some other loser concept will be the dem party's quasi-official motto for 2026 and that they'll have another big loser in that they'll continue to try to get "reasonable" republicans to vote for them.

Dems are the champions at fucking up a layup with the cheat codes on. Almost as if... It's on purpose.

If you give a Democrat three wishes, they'll negotiate you down to one, and then wish for something they think a Republican would like.

I have a feeling that turnout will be in the shitter again for 2026

entirely possible. Their campaign for nearly a decade now has been "We're not Trump. Vote for us!" Their campaign money scarecow can't run for reelection anymore and be used to terrify voters into the voting lines. I'm rather curious in what way will they redesign themselves over the next four years.
