If this makes anyone feel better. In 5 years Trump will be gone from office, maybe dead and not in our thoughts anymore

I mean, how often do we think about Obama or Bush? It's going to be a long 4 years however. Also, the pressure is always on those in power. Every time they fuck up they will be taking heat and I have a feeling they will be fucking up a lot. I just hope they don't ruin my retirement money among other things or turn us into Russia but I think this will be difficult. At least the two oldest Supreme Court justices are the most conservative. It would have been nice to replace them from our side but at least he won't be making the court any worse than it already is and you never know, there could be a Justice David Souter type who squeaks in. Could happen.

1. Let's hope the public sours quickly on JD

If his pre-election personality holds, he’s toast… less popular than an STD

[Polybius]

6. DeSantis might beat him for the nomination in '28

Maybe.

2. But he will leave behind well trained, rabid, brainwashed MAGAs and his freaking SCOTUS.

I hope there is a cadre of pro-democracy and freedom attorneys out there ready to challenge the frivolous and revengeful law suits headed our way.

3. Trumpism will be a word you'll hear the rest of your life

[hawkeye21]

4. The thing is, five years is a long time when you're already in your 70s or 80s

And many of us have already lost a decade to MAGA mayhem. What a way for many of us to go out . . .

9. Maybe he will be "D" in just a couple months. He looks to be in bad shape.

[Tickle]

5. I remember feeling yhat

once the election was over we would never have to worry about tRump again. I was sorta right

[Jspur]

7. It doesn't make me feel good at all knowing all the potential damage that will be

inflicted by then and I'm not hopeful we will be able to recover from it.

[EndlessWire]

8. I don't think he'll leave office.

Best hope is that he dies.

Putin never really leaves office. He holds sham elections. I think that will happen to us. Meanwhile, Trump is now free to utterly decimate our institutions and democracy.

10. Honestly? I think about Bush all the time and how he should be rotting away in prison.

And not just him.

I can always spare a thought for justice.

11. Obama and Bush largely keep their mouths shut.

Something TSF is completely incapable of. We’re going to hear about him every single day for the rest of his miserable existence. And then we’re probably gonna get Jr. unless hits heart explodes prematurely from all the coke in his system.

12. I've already

marked my calendar. After that day, I'm going to blow my stack if I have to keep hearing his name

[NameAlreadyTaken]

13. I can't even picture him living 5 more years

To me he's in the final stages of life already - dementia and incontinence are the most obvious signs. And he just looks horrible. In fact I can't even picture him living 6 more months.

15. Comparing him to my dad who lived to be 88, Trump reminds me of my dad at around 3 years before he died

But Dr. Gupta said he had heart disease back in 2018 and that was 6 years ago. My dad had no heart issues. Trump could go at any minute.

[Blue_Roses]

17. I agree

He looks horrible and when he missed that garbage truck handle it looked like his left side was partially numb. Maybe just the way he tried to grab the handle.

14. Yep. And, also, sometime this century, Elon will be wandering around in a giant mansion wearing a bathrobe and storing

his pee in jars.

16. If we still have a country in 5 years

Stalinist PCF boss Georges Marchais was once asked if, once elected, he would relinquish power if he were subsequently voted out. He replied, "Why would anyone ever vote us out?"

And, attributed to Stalin, himself: "Those who cast the votes decide nothing. Those who count the votes decide everything."

Stalinists do not voluntarily relinquish power. Nor do their Republican soul brothers. Not any more, it would seem. This will get ugly.

18. I hope you're right. It took Germany 12 years to get rid of Adolf, and look what it took.

19. After creating an ecosystem for worse???
