Donald Trump left office six months ago, but traumatized Democrats are terrified that he could figure out some way to return to power, for example returning to the White House through an upset victory in 2024. While it is certainly possible that he could pull a Grover Cleveland, maybe they should focus on encouraging the Democratic Party to address voters’ needs now in order to reduce the chances of such a catastrophe.

Trump is the embodiment of an ancient spirit that has a history of bloody returns.
The Democrats response to this spirit is the reawakening of its own ancient regressive spirit, one as old as the party itself.
The dems can’t run the discourse because:
1. Trump stil drives the news cycle.
2. Trump Derangement Syndrome is still triggering the Wokes and the other pretenders.
I said I’d give Biden six months, and that’s up in a mere six days, so that’s all I’m typing for now.
The Dems’ public “derangement syndrome” is elaborate cover for their respectful AWE of Trump. He, quite unlike them, is masterfully skillful at hiding his utter contempt for those whose votes he seeks to (re)attain power.
By comparison, I suppose.
