THE DANGERS OF LOYALTY

We saw how the inner circle's loyalty to Biden became the death knell for a Democratic victory. Similar hazards exist in the Trump administration, despite its control of every branch of government.

A single crack in thin ice will spread with pressure, no pun intended.
Democrats often clutch defeat from the jaws of victory. They could run Kamala again or maybe Hillary. The next election may face internal criminal corruption as never before or something so new and unexpected from AI that there is no defense. So far, lies have not become untenable.

There is an irony that Trump must survive his term to give Democrats a better chance. The martyr sympathy vote could be hard to overcome.
Trump is a total failure at foreign policy, with Putin and Netanyahu defeating him at every turn. A failure of the economy may not matter or even the reestablishment of extreme racism. I am amazed at how the moral choices of the Democratic Party have worked against them.

The conservative fascists have gotten everything they ever wanted at the levers of government, which may be their popular undoing.

It remains a mystery how the democrats will self-sabotage themselves on top of the forces waged against them. In two years, we will see what the Democratic primaries will deliver, good, bad, or indifferent.
