SPGB Snippets: MAGA unseated (2026)

The US mid-term ‘Blue Wave’ election results could render Donald a lame Duck and unleash Democrat prosecutorial vengeance on an epic scale.

‘If you’re involved in any of this [government corruption], next year you’ll be raising your hand to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth,’ Democrat senator and golden boy Jon Ossoff threatened last week. Many are devoutly hoping to see the MAGA madness finally arrested and held to account, and some semblance of order return.

But even then, capitalism will remain the same beast. The 1% will exploit the 99% and the planet. Trump and his band of brazen grifters simply made it obvious. MAGA may be a busted flush, but not much else will change.
