Summary
Sen. Mitch McConnell warned that Donald Trump’s presidency places Americans in a “very, very dangerous world,” likening Trump’s isolationist policies to pre-World War II “America First” rhetoric.
McConnell, a staunch interventionist, criticized the GOP’s growing resistance to U.S. global engagement, particularly Trump’s stance on reducing aid to Ukraine.
While he voted for Trump in November, McConnell expressed concerns over Trump’s influence and the party’s direction.
Recently stepping down as Senate GOP leader, McConnell plans to focus his final term on countering isolationism within his party.
In what world did Kamala not run as a conservative democrat? She talked about her glock more than climate change, sucked up to every Republican willing to be decent for once, and took the stage how many times with Liz Cheney while not allowing even 60 seconds of speech from a pro-Palestine lawmaker or advocate at the DNC, and went hard right on the border. And shit at this point I’ve probably brain dumped other events that had my jaw on the floor. She spent most of the last month holding hands with as many Republicans as she could, trying to get as many R votes as she could (spoiler alert - it was precious few).
And I’m not even super far left compared to a lot of potential D voters. I voted for her anyhow, but angrily by that point. She killed the motivation of many likely D voters all to rub noses with republicans and conservatives in the most crucial weeks of the campaign. To suck up to the very people who got us to this point in the first place and pretend every last fucking one of them wasn’t complicit.
All I can remember now from her campaign:
Edited to add - and that’s the last time I cast an angry vote for D. I’ve done it enough times. They need to get their shit together, or stop pretending they are anything other than corporate owned slightly less evil conservatives compared to R. If I can’t feel good about pulling the lever for D next time, I’ll pull it for someone else.
