Summary
Trump’s transition team is reportedly mired in infighting at Mar-a-Lago, with factions clashing over control and strategy for his return to the White House.
The Washington Post detailed heated disputes, including shouting matches, name-calling, and physical altercations.
Three key factions have emerged: one led by Donald Trump Jr. and JD Vance, another by Trump ally Susie Wiles, and a third by Linda McMahon.
High-profile confrontations involve figures like Boris Epshteyn, Elon Musk, and Vance, highlighting tensions over Cabinet picks and leaks, further fracturing the team.
“Faith” is clearly the misunderstanding you have here. You don’t choose to drive on the right side of the road because you have Faith you’ll get home safe, you do it because if you drive head-on into traffic, you’ll die. The “Faith” is that the alternative is worse. Are you arguing that the Republicans aren’t worse? Or that everyone reading your post voting for a shitty third party that does virtually no local elections would have led to a better outcome? We have no Faith the Democrats will do good, that’s why we need to shout at them and improve the party with, perhaps maybe our own membership. Where is that energy better directed oh wise sage?
Your energy is better directed turning others away from the DNC.
How does that make things better in our current climate? You also need to look up what nihilism actually means lol.
Funny, that’s what so many of the “don’t vote for Kamala” people were saying people should do before the election.
Were you one of them?
Absolutely not. I had no problem with the anti Genocide stance. It just shouldn’t have happened 6 months before such a critical election. I spent all of 2020-2023 trying to get people to realize joe biden would rat fuck us in a heart beat and I was met with the same resistance I’m getting right now.
I guess everyone gets to be ignorant and perpetuate their own oppression but some one has to be out here doing the right fucking rhing.
You’re not getting my point. Every single election cycle there’s this online contingency saying “we must fight the DNC.” Cool. Let me know when it actually happens. I’m guessing right before all the people who say everyone needs to vote third party to teach the DNC a lesson get that one right.
This is different. I would never advocate for any existing third party. Your point is moot because what happens from here won’t be anything like before. It will have all the trappings but when it’s time for a free and fair election people are going to freak when they see the results. My argument is, why wait for it? How many years have we already wasted and invested into a party they is not functional. Even if things stay how they are the DNC is a sunk cost and they proved it by losing to trump now, when it mattered most. Trump, the shittyist candidate I’ve ever witnessed in my entire life.
It’s always going to be different this time. And I would like to point out that there is a word for doing the same things over and over again and expect a different results.
Also, I’m not sure why you are assuming there will be elections at all anymore unless you’re talking about the kinds they have in places like Russia and Belarus, in which case it’s the DNC that’s moot here.
My fucking brain just broke, are you arguing against me anymore?
That’s what I’m saying, the DNC is moot, stop supporting it so people arent fooled into believing in 2026 they will “wipe the floor” blah blah blah. All that rhetoric is a waste of time. Democrats need to see they are generally accepted as the joke that lost an entire to trump the circus clown and everyone else needs to start feeling urgency to act, ASAP.
And do what exactly?
Yes our efforts are best spent yelling at clouds
If critisizing political parties is a waste of time youll understand entirely why endlessly criticizing the GOP isn’t a legitimate strategy.
What I’m saying is pretty fucking clear. You can recruit 100,000 people to support third parties but until the system changes you’re pissing in the wind. I think you know that deep down. But it’s probably easier to just blame everyone who won’t join your pointless crusade
The system is changing and the faster you abandon the dems the faster we can counter the GOP. I don’t give a shit about any parties at this point. Moving forward elections won’t be free and fair. You think you’re still playing the same game. You can “wait and see” but you’re just allowing the disease to spread.
Name even the tiniest shred of evidence something is changing. You seriously just watched fascism voted in and you see that as a fucking positive thing?
I think I’m playing the same game? The game is fucking over, and delusional people like yourself played a role
What the fuck are you even arguing then? The game is over. The longer you cling to the democrats the longer you delude yourself allowing fascism to take hold while giving yourself false hope that the dems will do something.
I don’t even know where we are disagreeing anymore. Also, how did I ever play a role lol. You have no fucking clue.
The game is over because of a bunch of morons, some of which thought their protest vote was a good thing
