    Absolutely agreed re: your points but I’d argue some of it IS working.

    How many GOP members have broken with trump recently? And House leadership? How many folks are actually not even running for office next year because they can see the writing on the wall?

    It’s not nearly enough based on what he’s done and what he wants to do, absolutely. But for someone as recently as early this year appeared to have an iron lock on his party approaching lame duck status nearly a year ahead of time and before any votes have been counted in the midterms IS progress.

      Perhaps, but this kind of progress seems insignificant compared to the progress they’re making in establishing authoritarian rule.

        No disagreement from me but the wheels of justice are slow and unrelenting.

        Trump can plead with the American people to wait a little longer for relief to show up. I’d argue wait a little longer until it doesn’t / is underwhelming.

          Nah. The wheels of justice have been running in reverse for the last year.

          I thought we were making progress in early 2024, but the wheels of justice just fell off. There’s no justice.
