The shoe is on the other foot right now, but it will eventually come back to us. We suffered through 2 election cycles with the likes of McCain and Romney, and we were thoroughly trounced by Obama’s election fraud machine. Then we got Trump, the “breakaway” candidate many of us were hoping to finally get.

Now the Dems are grinding through their usual suspects, the “women who deserve the presidency” and the “ascendant former VP” supposedly everyone just adores. *coughAlGorecough* Meanwhile, most of us don’t envision a world where Trump isn’t the leader of the US for another 4 years.

My concern is what happens in 2024? Bernie’s health isn’t exactly stellar. Hillary... God help us. Lieawatha? She’s too much of a wildcard. I suspect the Dems will find some leftist business mogul who everyone sort of loves or a movie star who will get droves of drooling teens to the polls to vote regardless of politics. And we all know that second term presidents often take off the gloves and start hammering away at political bête-noir causes which might leave the Republicans fighting for popularity points among centrists.

Fact is that we swing back and forth like a pendulum, and recent history is showing that pendulum wants to swing further and further to the opposing side. Let’s pray that we don’t wind up reaping a whirlwind in the form of a communist gun grabbing globalist with a pretty face and no fear. We’ve seen what happens in microcosms like Virginia. There’s no reason to think that can’t happen nationally.

IMHO Tulsi Gabbard has the ability to fool both left and right voters into voting for her in 2024.

Thank you for providing a rational perspective on how the political pendulum swings. We've seen liberal presidents attempt to act like dictators and it was the SCOTUS that put a check on them. Obama and Roosevelt come to mind. Even with Roosevelt's packed SC, the court rejected some of Roosevelt's socialist/fascist plans, re: https://www.intellectualtakeout.org/blog/when-supreme-court-stopped-fdrs-economic-fascism

Let's hope and pray that President Trump continues to appoint constructionist federal judges and most importantly, let him replace all the activist SC judges with constructionists. This will be the greatest hedge against any democrat president.

Hillary? Speaking of stellar health...

Sorry, I have to disagree. The Gov of Va does not have a pretty face. ;D
