CAN-USA 2025 Tariff Strife (split from various pol threads)

Accepting that hope is not a COA, our best hope is that the balance of power in Congress changes on November 3, 2026. A more militant, anti Trump congress would be a real barn-burner as it works to take back it's enshrined powers.

Accepting that hope is not a COA, our best hope is that the balance of power in Congress changes on November 3, 2026. A more militant, anti Trump congress would be a real barn-burner as it works to take back it's enshrined powers.

Our best hope is the case in the courts. As much as people like to crow over Trump's slipping approval numbers, Democrats collectively are slipping more. They seem to be aiming for another "double-down" election cycle*.

(*Losing parties often go through a cycle or two or three convincing themselves that they weren't true enough to their ideology, or just didn't get the message across to voters, or both. Democrats are still visibly fighting for the "20" side of the proverbial "80/20" issues.)
