While I agree with the sentiment, I'm not sure if the current democrats have enough of a spine to oust the sitting president, even if they get enough of a majority...
Vote in the fucking primaries so you can get better democrats.
I agree with that sentiment, shame I'm not actually from the US. My in-laws are but they're (allegedly) too disconnected from politics to care. I still feel like they might be closeted Trumpers that don't want to openly say so but who knows.

You think if the most unbelievable thing happened and a Democrat won every election to somehow hold both a majority in the House and 60 votes in the Senate, they wouldn’t toss him out?
Conviction in an impeachment trial needs 67 votes. They currently hold 45 seats. In order to get to 67, they'd need a clean sweep of all Senate races.
Even then, what's the over under on a convent count of turncoats that vote against because we "just need to come together and heal the nation."
Ah yes, the Schumer classic.

Yeah it’s possible
Damn. Well that’s some quality cynicism.
Tbf at this point it's well earned. The Republicans are still not switching positions about Epstein, the 25th and other things and their voters sure as hell did, so one can only conclude the more cynical position, that is, there is so much corruption it takes more than an elite sex abuse ring for the Republicans to finally do something.
True enough
I assure you it isn’t offered willingly, I wish I could say otherwise.
If Democrats think we’re mad now wait till they see how mad we get if we give them a supermajority and they don’t do anything.

even if they get enough of a majority...
And there's the rub.
The House is one thing, the Senate another. Only 1/3 of the current Senate seats go up for election, and the majority of seats up for vote that are currently held by Republicans are from very safe Republican stronghold states. I don't think there's a chance that the Dems get control of the Senate, even if they gain a couple seats.
As for the "problem" Dems, Fetterman isn't up for reelection. Schumer isn't up for reelection. Kaine isn't up for reelection. Shaheen and Durbin are at least retiring, but none of the other sellouts are on the ballot until 2028 at the earliest.
Best we can hope for is that the House flips to a Democratic majority (a supermajority is still beyond question) and that turns the next two years into an ineffectual lame duck Congress. But it's not like that'd be all that different from the situation right now anyways, because Trump has demonstrated he doesn't give a shit about Congress and will just issue illegal executive orders for everything he wants to do, while the courts twiddle their thumbs and maybe question the legality of his actions 10 years from now.
Oh gee, i guess it's better to vote Trump then...

Can't we go Full Nepal?
Our situation is way worse than Hungary. We need to go ”full France”.
I'd love to go full Nepal.
Rile up your local gen Z today.
In the words of a teacher:

Is that TV's Frank?
Holy shit I think it is
Context? What happened in Budapest?
Hungarians kicked their trump to the moon. Bang zoom.
hungarians voted Orbán out. he was basically their Trump
Trump for 16 consecutive years
Maybe get JD Vance to endorse Republicans? That should finish them off
Budapest, Mozambique, take your pick.
Hungary elects their Prime Minister in parliamentary elections. US elects majority leader and speaker of the house in midterms (kind of). It looks like some people don't understand the difference.
Hungary did not elect a prime minister, it elected a parliament. The new govnernment incl the prime minister is just a consequence of parliamentary majorities, which changed.
The US is an odd one, as it elects just a part if its legislative but it does elect that part nonetheless. While that won't push the US president out if power, it could turn him into a lame duck. The destruction of the US democracy and state institutions relies on the legislative being complicit and staying silent.

Didn't they just end up electing another conservative?
Conservative by European standards. Some of his policies would be called radical socialism in the US.
Most of policies actually lol. Here hes a conservative right winger but in the usa he would count as a radical liberal communist at this point.

Peter Magyar was even in Victor Orban's Party "Fidesz", and formerly the husband of Orban's Justice Minister Judit Varga. Then two years ago there was a schism over a pardon of someone who covered up child abuse.
His new party "Tisza" is conservative, centre-right, but also pro-European and anti-corruption. I hope it wasn't a mask that drops soon, but I don't know enough about their politics, to say much.
