Even if we take Congress and the Senate (both not a sure thing) it's a year before they are in office. And what can they really do to stop him from doing whatever he wants.
It will be a long three years.
Justice matters.

Unpredictable what the other NATO member nations will do. And it's imminent.

2. He suffers a heart attack and survives, barely, and Vance steps in -also highly likely
3. He's impeached and convicted - miracles happen
4. Someone Epsteins him - possible government(s) covert operation

(52,599 posts)It might slow them down a bit but Vance, Rubio, Hegseth, Lutnick, et. al. will keep working out of their project 2025 playbook. If anything, they might be more efficient in their destruction since they wouldn't have the wild card of Trump's mania to contend with.
EDIT.
Upon further reflection, maybe it will allow some repubs the possibility to come out of the shadows, stop cowering in fear and do something. Maybe.

It seems Biden appointees to benches have been particulary busy. Even though many cases may go Trumps way, they still take time, effort and other resources away from governing.
Unless theres a decent chance of conviction in the Senate (seemingly permanently unlikely), impeachment is pointless. Weve made two runs at it, with the second one being essentially a slam dunk. And voters basically absolved him by putting him back in office.
Personally, I think our best efforts now should be focused on:
1) Roughing up Rubio and Vance: I think Rubios stock is rising compared to Vance, but both need to be dealt with. While we may abhor them, we take them lightly at our and the countrys peril.
2) Coalescing around 3-4 Democrats that we think Americans could get behind and who can hold their own against Rubio and Vance.
3) Realise who shouldnt be the face of the Party and not let the media and republicans crown them as such.
Other than that, pray. LOL
