"Occupy Democrats
BREAKING: Donald Trump freaks out and admits that Democrats are likely to win the midterm elections and White House - and demands that Republicans immediately cave to his demands to prevent it.
His failed presidency is catching up to him...
"The Democrats are far more likely to win the Midterms, and the next Presidential Election, if we don't do the Termination of the Filibuster (The Nuclear Option!), because it will be impossible for Republicans to get Common Sense Policies done with these Crazed Democrat Lunatics being able to block everything by withholding their votes," Trump wrote on Truth Social.
Unfortunately for Trump, Senate Majority Leader John Thune has already stated that he has zero interest in nuking the filibuster. Republicans in the Senate may be too cowardly to stand up to Trump on a day-to-day basis, but they also know that he won't be in power forever. If they remove the filibuster now, Democrats will be able to exploit the rules change to ram through everything on our wish list.
Trump wants to remove the filibuster so that he can force the government open rather than having to cave to Democrats' demand that he extend crucial Affordable Care Act subsidies. As usual, Trump is laser-focused on hurting the American people.
"FOR THREE YEARS, NOTHING WILL BE PASSED, AND REPUBLICANS WILL BE BLAMED," Trump continued. "Elections, including the Midterms, will be rightfully brutal. If we do terminate the Filibuster, we will get EVERYTHING approved, like no Congress in History."
"We will have FAIR, FREE, and SAFE Elections, No Men in Women's Sports or Transgender for Everybody, Strong Borders, Major Tax and Energy Cuts, and will secure our Second Amendment, which the Democrats will also terminate, IMMEDIATELY," he continued.
Crucially, none of these things are actually "Common Sense Policies." His rhetoric about elections is really him trying to justify voter suppression and the continued targeting of the transgender community is nothing more than red meat for bigots. Strong borders to Trump just means more fascist crackdowns, family separations, and civil rights violations. Tax cuts means tax cuts for the super rich and energy cuts means more handouts for fossil fuel companies. Securing our Second Amendment means doing nothing as gun violence continues to rip apart our schools and places of worship.
"If we don't do it, they are far more likely to do well in the upcoming Elections, which would mean a PACKED Supreme Court, 2 more States and 4 more Democrat Senators (D.C. and Puerto Rico), and 8 more Electoral Votes," Trump went on, inadvertently making a strong case for voting blue.
"Remember, Republicans, they are going to end the Filibuster as soon as they get the chance," he wrote. "We know this because they already tried, and the only two people who didn't go along are now out of office. But they have much less chance of WINNING if we have Great Policy Wins after Wins after Wins. IN FACT, THEY WILL LOSE BIG, AND FOR A VERY LONG TIME. TERMINATE THE FILIBUSTER NOW, END THE RIDICULOUS SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATELY, AND THEN, MOST IMPORTANTLY, PASS EVERY WONDERFUL REPUBLICAN POLICY THAT WE HAVE DREAMT OF, FOR YEARS, BUT NEVER GOTTEN. WE WILL BE THE PARTY THAT CANNOT BE BEATEN - THE SMART PARTY!!!"
He's getting desperate. Every single one of his policies has failed, the economy is on life support, and he's run out of distractions. When the midterm elections arrive, we make him pay dearly for destroying our country."
