The whole world, with a handful of exceptions, is rejoicing that the Republicans got kicked to the curb in the recent election. I too am ecstatic, but the victory is not complete and Drumpf will demand his "pound of flesh" for his future cooperation.
My fear is that Washington DC will be the tragic victim. Drumpf never really cared about what his MAGA cult members believed that he cared about, and certainly never cared about the people themselves.
But he is a purely transactional creature, and it is probably easy to predict what he will demand protection for in exchange for allowing the Democratic Party to enact all sorts of badly needed reforms.
He will, of course, demand legal immunity for himself and his family (or, failing that, at least for himself and Ivanka) and that the en****tification of Washington DC be allowed to go forward, particularly "his" White House ballroom and the gigantic hideous arch to block the view of Arlington Cemetary.
I feel certain that his health will fail sooner rather than later and the odious Bowman (aka JD Vance) will take over. My hope is that if it happens soon enough he will be able to minimize the damage.
What Bowman does on his own, such as allowing Peter Thiel to solidify a 1984-style police state, is a matter for another day ....
