"within a few elections" = not this administration

cyanydeez May 31, 2025 View on HN

give trump a few more years, and that probably will change.

True, but considering the circumstances, it's not going to happen until at least the next President is elected. The democrats would do the same thing.

Will probably get undone in the first 10 minutes of the next administration.

Hopefully so, but I'm not certain elections will be the same as they have. There's reason to believe Trump has no intention of leaving office, and the Republican party has not intention of losing power. This is their chance to remake America long term, and they can't really do that if it gets overturned every 2-4 years.

For the current regime, mmaybe. But don't underestimate next regime's ability to flip tables.

Hopefully only until the next administration.

He won't be in office indefinitely.

Wait till US elects the next president, likely a republican.

My guess is that we're headed towards the season finale, but only in a few years. The left already had their moment of huge disappointment (when Obama was elected for "Change", and was not able to actually change anything). Now the right will have the same experience as they far overestimate Trump's ability to follow through on his proposals (e.g. fighting rampant corruption).
