We will not win the battle for democracy if those in the pro-democracy movement prize caution over taking risks. We cannot permit ourselves to be deterred by the inevitable defeats and public criticism that are inevitable along the long path of restoring democracy.

No longer talk of defending democracy
But now talk of restoring it
I off the Republican Party back in 2016 & I did everything to support us.. 😔
Those who stopped dreaming have given up on democracy.
Remember, many are called, yet few are chosen, time the voices of many replaces the power yielded by the few, sooner or later the few becomes less.

Yeehaw!
Meanwhile the old-style liberals are in a quandry as to what to do.
We have to make education a priority again.
"Dereliction of Duty"?
Congress needs to do something.
Mr. Elias is a lawyer who won against Trump's claim that the 2020 elections were fraudulent.
The protests against Tesla were successful.
If we put that energy into subverting ICE, for example.

The best defense is monstrously strong offense.
Your choice. Choose wisely.
Do you have any options for them?
With options, how many more could help fight?!

They shopped for Democrat leaders too.
The GOP, does not exist, it's MAGA now, all the way down.
Democrats next, if they let him get troops into Washington that's the end. He tried violence before with amateurs
Right now you are either for America and vote for the Dems or you are against America and are MAGA/GOP. There's more of us than them.
If the people don't enforce law and order, there will be no election in 2026.
It requires constant attention and monitoring. Because when the red lights start to flash, you have only a short time to correct the problem.
We should have corrected the problem 4 years ago and that's on us. We should have mended the holes in the law too.
can you do that?
When they begin outright defying or altogether ignoring the courts...that will be the time for a different discussion.
Protest, find groups, join up with others to create a network.
And Vote.

Civil disobedience. General strike. Boycott everything. Refuse to pay play and participate in the game. Take to the streets and stay there until you are successful in shutting it all down.
The people are were complacent and forgot the sacrifice Washington and ever soldier who went to Europe and Asia in two world wars, many making the ultimate sacrifice.
People have to take that risk again or tRump will win.
Could the farmers who left their families to fight the revolution afford it.
They are willing to take it all. And will do almost anything to get it.
I do not believe the military will support him but you'll never know if you don't try
The Supremely Corrupted Court has really allowed all of this. The steady erosion, and their corruption has weakened you.

They're not gonna give it back to us by asking politely.
Each of us has agency to resist, stand up & fight back in our own peaceful but FORCEFUL lanes!

Let’s. Cut. Their. Fucking. Fascist. Heads. OFF.
We HAVE THE CAPACITY to enact change.
We have the numbers to enact change- whatever that change may be- to move away from fascism.
We need to DO IT.
US census July 1, 2024 put the population of the US at 340,110,988 people.
Of that number 236M people were voting age at the time of the 2024 election- with only 174M registered to vote.
In the presidential 2024 election- only 154M voted- just 65.3% of voting age population.
1/
How many people is that?
62M didn't even register to vote.
20M people who were registered did not vote.
Complacency led us to where we are.

* They want us horrified at their cruelty;
* They want us to forget due process;
* They want us to accept their inhumanity;
* They want us to believe we are subordinate to them;
* They want us exhausted, so rest when you need to and come back stronger. #Resist
Take a punch and won't fight back, or maybe we will but only a little bit, maybe next Saturday but obv not every Saturday, and only 11:45-12:30 because I have Pilates and Ayurveda cooking...
Also, how am I supposed to defend democracy when there are so many Libra protesting?
And I just don't see this population having it in them to do that. In 4 years. Texans and Floridians will still be how they are. The USA is cooked.
All are instigators destroying your country and neither is immune to anything.
Hit them as hard as possible then let others decide whether they want to be a part of the aftermath….

Dems need to hold the damn line.
Even my friends down south seem to have given up.
The whole thing just depresses me anymore....
politically motivated bill in Congress to “ research “ TDS. They indicate anyone who disagrees with Trump is deluded, biased or ignorant. There is no low.

Them you don't have to win over, they are already in your team.
Thank you, Marc. For everything but especially this. You can’t do it alone.
Do you have anything else?
I think you really know the reason for peoples' hesitancy. It is because of what is always left unsaid. We couch it in words like courage, purpose bravery. This will not be done peacefully. No one wants to go beyond that wall, but we must if we are to win. We should act right now.

The fight is not the same. We must team up work together and go outside of the box. Big time!
...it won't even be "public"
Address the root cause first - or fight constant uphill battles.
Thing is, even if you do reach the top... they'll retreat to the other side and just dig even lower than before.
which is why we need millions out in the street, because there is safety in numbers.
some of us will not survive it, though.
Trump & the GOP are breaking the law. So, why shouldn't they go to court over it? You win an election, you get to break the law? That's what you're saying? 🤔🙄
If you don't like my questions or my point, don't face me. Republicans hate me. But smart one listen, and think. Dumb ones are like asses, they bray.
Don't be the mouse. Do your homework.
But I also know there are strategic reasons for contesting them in court instead of on Lie Social. There are penalties for Lying in court, but none
We disagree. Also, the hammer came down on Adams after he bitched loudly about the dumping of illegals in NYC w/o federal $$$. It was pure punishment!
A law is a law, but Hitler wrote laws after he was voted into office is 1933. But Germany also didn't have a string defined Constitution. We do.
Violation of a bad
If I support fairness in work, pay, arrests for street crime, I also support arrests for financial, white collar, constitutional crimes.
Everyone else on
I grant you that SOME people on the Left are clueless, but most WORK at learning and knowing more. You are not doing the work. You are just repeating what some jackass on YouTube or TikTok is spouting off, and you aren't thinking. Please do.
This is the truth, NO ONE on this page hates fascists and communists as much as I do--no one!
I love our Constitution, and the government that it was written to protect--the one that protects individual liberty.
“check out Marc’s list of 10 things you can do right now to protect free and fair elections.”
There is so much propaganda and bias in both parties now. And some, ah, moral ambiguity from the DNC on certain subjects.
The answer to “Should Trump be impeached?” must be an immediate and resounding “YES”.

Wtaf is that? Republicans not need Democratic votes to confirm so why did Booker vote yes for a convict?
Billionaire donors come to mind, which is so disconcerting if true. 😡
Booker should have thought about this before thinking about how to line his pockets. Voting FOR Kushner?
Now he is done forever🤪
At the end of the day no politician is for the people....feels like we are on our own
We cannot let this democracy fail.
It’s all performative at this point
We've been cowards except a few who had to battle for all the others as he converted more over time

You must choose. Refusing chooses the latter.
