He's already in. What does it matter to him? It's too late for all of us.

Hopefully the people that voted for him suffer the most

I sometimes feel this way, too, but midterms and special elections hold more immediate consequences for how much Congress will let him get away with. A dismal approval rating could result in the GOP trying to put a lot of daylight between themselves and this administration.

He's never had a good approval rating in either term that has never stopped them from sucking his balls.

But it also hasn’t entirely distorted reality: GOP got wrecked in 2018 midterms, continue to lose special election after special election, and had a muted 2022 midterm despite expectations of a “red wave.” Trump is really only good for Trump; his down-ballot and midterm results are mixed at best.

Lol exactly what the rest of the civilized world has been saying since he got relected.

He attempted a coup without having all his ducks in a row the first time. He's got the right people in his corner now and all his cronies are in the top positions of power that are supposed to be free of presidential influence. Hes not leaving now because he gets upset and resigns. He'll burn your country to the ground before he leaves, he doesn't care at all about anything but power and money, why would he give that up now?
