Bernie & AOC didn’t have any trouble figuring out what they could do. How about Dem leadership calling for a national strike? Organizing protest rallies? Punching back thru the press? Supporting a Tesla and Starlink boycott? Putting holds on all Trump nominees? More filibusters? This is a crisis. - ThreadSky

But none of those things ultimately have the ability to 'change trump' and they aren't. Not even the courts are.

I suspect even if dems controlled senate & house Trump would just carry on, ignore them with EO's

Trump feels he is THE KING

The goal is not to “change Trump.” That ship has sailed. The goal is to create such an almighty stink that Trump has to go. The goal is to raise awareness of how bad he is for the country. To reach the brainwashed Fox viewer or the busy uninformed person who didn’t vote or isn’t registered.

There are farmers in the West going bankrupt right now

And they still support and thank Trump

So that means we shouldn’t try to reach them? Sorry, but throwing up its hands and saying there’s nothing we can do is not a winning strategy for the opposition party. There’s always something we can do. The Democrats, other than AOC & Bernie, are all spinelessly keeping their powder dry for 2028.

Trump could pour gas on his support,set them on fire and they'd thank him for doing it

I have no idea how that lvl of stupid is overcome

His die-hard supporters are fewer than his critics. I know plenty of people who voted for him who are regretting the choice. Believe me, I am active in the D party & worked on Capitol Hill for years. There are things we could be doing but we need D leadership to step up and really lead.
