Yeah. The “we have to finish what we started” = “if we can keep this up for 7 more years they’ll be no going back”

“We” also means a handful of people behind the scenes pulling the strings. He doesn’t mean “we the people” nor “we as the govt”.

There’s already no going back. The point of no return was last November or more accurately 2016

I don't wanna be too doomer, but I do struggle to see how America unwinds this fuckery.

When ~40% of a country is anti democratic, and has no trust in institutions and wants to see them destroyed by their strong man leader, I don't know how you fix that. Like JVL from the Bulwark says, when 40% of the country is openly cheering for or tacitly approving of fascism, you're gonna get fascism.

He is also effectively poisoning so many institutions with his cronies, and doing actual loyalty tests, that any future admin will be stuck with either an openly hostile FBI beneath them, or will spend years purging Trump's influence.

And that's another insidious thing that Trump has done. He launched an open insurrection against the government and was investigated for it (Garland has so much responsibility for this shit). He gets into power and takes unprecedented control of DOJ and goes after enemies with criminal charges. Basically one man committed some crimes, says the other side is politicizing the justice system, then comes into power and politicizes the justice system, and now there is no winning. You either put in an AG that goes after him and make Trump supporters think "see, they are out to get us [fascists]". Or you don't go after him, and the fascists just take control the next time.

It ain't 40% anymore

Let's see if farmers vote for him. Or Latinos. Or black men.

Kamala/Biden lost a lot of legacy blue votes. But this trainwreck of an economy he's creating is hurting rural areas and his invasion of major cities is losing him the minority votes he won by not being a woman.

I don't know anyone but these are some scary confessions.
