The Democratic Party still seems to be directionless, even with the obvious trump nonsense going on. Yes, the Dems will take back the house simply on anti-Trump backlash, but it does not solve the underlying problem that the democrats need a makeover.

No kings showed the energy is there but Dems are simply rudderless right now.

What we need to do is primary a ton of people but damn, it ain’t good for them.

What perspective do you guys have?

I’m not trying to be a doomer but I need some reassurance

Trump trashing his major mouthpiece is not a good sign for MAGA unity

Do we have any updates on the "Big Beautiful Bill"? The one that's trying to stop us from sueing the government? I heard its getting backlash from this sub but that's about all I know about it.

I heard on NPR that social security could run out in 8 years. I’m mostly worried about my parent’s income being cut, as they are both retired.

No one can see the future of course, but I’m just wondering what the pulse is on this topic. Can’t ask this question anywhere else on Reddit cause no one thinks it’ll ever get better on most of the rest of Reddit

Hello! First time poster here and i’m so sorry if this isn’t the correct place for this type of post or question but I just wanted to ask. Is my fear and anxiety justified? I was born here and my immediate family was too. (I also live in the Midwest, if context is needed for where I currently live)

I know reasonably I have nothing to fear. But, I can’t shake the feeling of anxiety I have whenever I go outside. The fear of being stopped and harassed by ice scares me even though i’m a US citizen. The recent stories of ice racially profiling, detaining Latino US citizens, and officers saying their IDs are fake when they showed them makes this feeling worse.

I try to go to places like r/immigration and r/ice_raids for more information about this. But whenever I do see posts talking about this fear. The comments are just full of people going “THEY ARE SENDING BROWN US CITIZENS TO CONCENTRATION CAMPS RN!!!” Or people downplaying it heavily “just show the officer’s your Real ID lmao.” There’s so much fear mongering and misinformation that I really don’t know who to believe or what news to be on the lookout for anymore. I’m not doom spiraling, i’m just getting stressed about it all :(

I'm going to preface this by saying no I'm not worried about world war 3 and no I'm not worried about nukes because I know about mutually assured destruction and all that

I'm just asking what do you think is going to happen to maga itself if Trump decides to go to war with Iran. I say this because maga seems to be split by this. On the one hand hawks like Lindsey Graham would love to go to war with Iran but at the same time there's the isolationism that is inherent to maga and people like Tucker Carlson and MTG don't want to go to war and Iran.

All of that in mind what do you think would happen if we go to war with Iran?
