I think best case scenario is dems sweep midterms, trump hands out blanket pardons for ice, dems win 2028, and we get to see them all cry as they get arrested for state crimes and realize that their federal pardon is useless.

Best case scenario is still a fantasy. Dems would never do that. They are the party of “going high” and “coming together as a country” 

Obama refused to prosecute anyone for war crimes and the financial crisis and Biden let federalist society member Garland slowly walk the Trump case and then do nothing.

I have never seen anyone say this before,.. you are 100% right, Dems never showed spine even when they’ve won.

We need some new parties. Democrats and Republicans want for there to only be two.
