Exactly 400 Days Left to Save American Democracy

We should listen to Oxford historians because they have a lot of history to study, mostly bad history on account of the English monarchy's reptilian way of conducting foreign and domestic policy: racism, social class warfare, assassinations, adulteries, invasions of other nations (Ireland, France...), and colonizing every finch's asshole they could find around the globe. And they bragged about it as "the empire on which the sun never sets". But the garbage of English colonialism had to end sometimes, and now the empire is where the sun don't shine.

If the English monarchy can lavish a thug like Trump with pageantry and kiss-ass receptions, it is because of all the money it made pilfering the resources of other countries like India and South Africa and selling other countries like Palestine to colonizing bastards from Europe. Even the United States was created in spite of, and against, the crooked English monarchy. And now the monarchy has bowed to the pedophile criminal president of the US because it is being forced to make "deals" with him.

Oxford University Historian Predicts Exactly How Long U.S. Has To Save Its Democracy

Timothy Garton Ash, a professor of European studies at the University of Oxford, predicted in a new essay for The Guardian that Americans have only 400 days to save their democracy.

“Hysterical hyperbole? I would love to think so,” admitted Garton Ash. “But during seven weeks in the U.S. this summer, I was shaken every day by the speed and executive brutality of President Trump’s assault on what had seemed settled norms of U.S. democracy and by the desperate weakness of resistance to that assault.”

All “democrats, irrespective of party or ideology, must hope the Democrats regain control of the House” in the 2026 midterms “not because of the Democrats’ policies, which are a muddle, or their current leadership, which is a mess” but because the currently GOP-controlled Congress has to “start doing its job again” and keep the White House in check, he said.

Any economic harm caused by Trump’s controversial policies may be offset, he continued, by the possibility that the president may “do a pre-election cash handout to voters, perhaps presented as compensation for the ‘temporary difficulties’ of the transition to a Maga economy.”

Democrats have to relentlessly “bring those economic costs irresistibly home to voters,” not just “by talking about the defence of democracy, important though that is, let alone by engaging in culture wars,” he urged.
