You know who isn’t terrified about the next four years?
The DNC and democrat politicians. Even those who lost their seat.
Sure, they’re frustrated and would have rather won. But for the most part, they’ll just ride it out and run again in a few years. Politicians at that level are generally financially secure and always very well connected. They’ll be fine.
Someone like Bernie is the exception, maybe. But even he’s just pissed off more than he is scared. Politicians win and lose and they’re fine with it. It comes with the territory for them. They’d rather win, of course! But they aren’t shaking in their boots about Trump, no matter what they say in public.
- I expect the Dems will clean up in the midterms, after people have had a couple of years of fully witnessing just how fucking stupid they were in 2024.Continuity
- After outspending their opponents 4:1 and going on to lose the house the senate and the presidency, you think they’re going to be just fine?monNom
- I think they’re going to really struggle at fund raising next time out. Their ‘machine’ doesn’t work anymore. Probably time for some new faces.monNom
- AOC just dropped the pronouns from her X profile bio :))********
- "outspending their opponents 4:1"
I don't think that's true...from what I saw both the Trump and Harris campaigns raised around a billion dollars.yuekit - I saw 300ish Trump and 1.1B Harris but those numbers are a bit off. Actual spending was $345M Trump. $916M Harris. So ~1:3monNom

- ^ When you count the total spending it's more like $1.1 billion Trump $1.65 billion Harris.yuekit
- So she raised more but 3 or 4 times isn't realistic...I don't think there's ever been a campaign where that happened.yuekit
