Not nervous, but somewhat worried. The thought of Trump returning to office terrifies me, tbh.
As I said, I'm not making any predictions yet, but initially thought the current election cycle would be similar to 2012, where the incumbent appeared vulnerable at first but improved as the election year approached. However, if we're being honest, this has not been the case so far. In 2012, Obama was able to define his challenger as an out-of-touch elitist, but in 2020, Trump seemed headed for defeat by June after the first Covid bump. Despite a decent economy and a large cash advantage, Biden is still struggling in key battlegrounds, although he is in a better position than his predecessor was at this stage four years ago.

I think dems are exaggerating the harm Trump might do in a second term. He will kill woke policies of Biden but other than that, it'll be business as usual. And dems will actually have a nice midterm in 2026 if Trump wins.
if its a free and fair election. I would not put it past Republicans to nominate him for an illegal third term.
That is literally the goal of Project 2025. Kill the Constitution. Kill term limits. Kill any barriers to dictatorship.
Trump himself said he wants to be a dictator.
Are you just wilfully ignoring all of this? No, of course not. You're actively cheering for it.
Project 2025 has no jurisdiction outside the executive branch so a lot of things Trump won’t be able to get done without outside help.
Trump will not be able to pass the legislation to implement certain parts of his because his congressional majorities will be very narrow at best, or at worst outright have Dems in the house. He’ll get slapped down by the courts like he was after 2020. State governments outside of Safe R states will not allow him on the ballot if he were to try to run in 2028.
