It will motivate more to come out and vote him out again, like the first time around only this term will provide even more motivation...unfortunately.

Him in reference to the next election being GoP/MAGA, as he can only do this term, unless he manages to become the dictator he desires to be. I think MAGA will become less relevant as their agenda hurts Americans more this time.

If things stay on the track they are on, don't expect a free and fair election in '28.

We must be force into making the hard choices that will need to be implemented.

Hard choices get a lot easier if you do the choosing and arrange for others to do the sacrificing.

Maga, Maga, blah, blah has masked the fact that it is the metropolitans against the rest.

The metropolitans against the rest will continue for a long time. And this not specific to the US. However in the US the
electoral system favors the rest.

The Dem's need to counter the characterization the 'pubs have cast them and prove they can chew gum and walk by addressing middle American kitchen table real life concerns, and supporting unrepresented minorities needing defending from bullies presenting them as vague threatening adversaries.

It's more the educated vs the rest, and the colored vs the rest. 'Metropolitan' just happens to map pretty well to the two together.
