Democrats are engaged and understand the country is going to shit. Trump is in the glorious fucking around phase. But the find out is coming. There is no way the consequences of all the bad decisions are going to bear fruit.

And Democratic leaders really are powerless to do much. But I think their base is going to be very, very motivated in 2026. The 2026 primary and general is going to be interesting.

I would be shocked right now if any democratic voter answered a poll saying they're satisfied. Sure they hate Trump, but the general anger at the whole corrupt system is obvious.
