    While the ideal would be Claudia De La Cruz winning the presidency, the least bad thing to happen would be a Trump presidency but the Dems take both chambers of legislature so he can’t do anything.

    EDIT: WHY DID I SAY GLORIA! I MEANT CLAUDIA! I MEANT CLAUDIA! STUPID BRAIN honk-enraged

      so he can’t do anything.

      Can’t do anything that isn’t imperialism and the acceptable levels of cruelty on the border, with police in cities, against pro-Palestine protestors, etc, etc.

      They will almost certainly send him a bill that forces colleges to expel pro-Palestine protestors, threatens their funding if they don’t clear demonstrations and encampments within hours, classifies anti-zionism, anti-isnt’real activism as hate speech against Jews, and designates anyone against the zionist entity as a terrorist meriting watching by the FBI, extensive searches at airports and immediate termination from any federal job or job with a federal contractor who can be leaned on to fire such people.

      Fact is Democrats are happily building the apparatus of repression under the guise of fighting “Russian disinfo”. Shutting down alternative media, arresting people, harassment, and it’s only going to get worse, they’re going to use it on pro-Palestine factions, the imperialism-skeptical left, etc.
