Election Day is still a month away, but more than 700,000 Americans have already voted across at least 30 states. There are signs emerging of the advantage Democrats have in motivating their voters – a trend that’s played out in polling all summer long.
In several states with key Senate or governor races this fall, Democrats make up a larger share of voters requesting ballots so far than they did at this point in 2024.
In Iowa, Democrats have made 67% of ballot requests, up from 54% at this point in 2024. In Pennsylvania, it’s 66%, up from 62%, and in Maine it’s 57%, up from 53%. And according to data from the North Carolina State Board of Elections, 42% of ballot requests are from Democrats, up from 36% at this point two years ago.
A bit soon for that. The next Trump will arrive in the 2040s.
If another neoliberal democrat gets elected in 2028. The “next Trump” will be president in 2032.
Yes, but there still needs to be a good amount of time for people to move on from Trump and support what comes next. For example, I see the next Trump being far more brutal - they’ll view TACO’ing out as a sign of weakness, and seek to correct Trump’s mistakes by murdering everyone who won’t bend the knee.
Take the whole E Jean Carroll thing, for instance. Right now, it’s all tied up in court. The next Trump, I predict, would opt to have some people disappear E Jean Carroll. Maybe shoot some of the judges who ruled against the next Trump, too. And then, the replacement judge will rule that the next Trump did nothing wrong while a heavily armed trooper holds a gun to the judge’s head.
Pretty sure that’s what we have to look forward to in the next few decades.
