My favorite GOP miracle: the ability to loudly proclaim their faith while simultaneously upholding policies that violate every single one of Jesus's teachings. It's truly a divine contradiction. 🙏➡️🤡
America is run by a convicted felon. Congress has repeatedly failed to hold a criminal president accountable. Supreme Court judges failed American people by siding with the convicted felon. American history will remember these scumbags for generations to come.
I get this BS all the time as a Texan. "You deserve what you get, you voted for it!" Bullshit, I didn't vote for it. In fact, depending on what source you believe, there are as many or MORE Democrats in Texas than Republicans.
Would be worth your time to enact #RCV. It would solve gerrymandering, it would make the wrong people fall much faster and think about accountability before doing that kind of shyte. Heritage freaks hate it so much, they have a home page dedicated against Ranked choice.
Yeah Democracy my a$$. I live in a blue state & while the damage here has been mitigated somewhat ,all of us, blue, red & purple r going 2 suffer under this regime no matter how we voted.We’ll suffer from the stupid tariffs, dismantling of our military alliances, & trade partners. We’ll all suffer 😒
Remember that Black Woman Zoom call that got Kamala Harris nominated? White Women need a come to Jesus Zoom call. They pretended last time and voted GOP in greater numbers. Start working now. That is where the votes are. They vote for their sons and husbands.
Same w natural disasters. Not all of us voted for that thing in office. I went door to door. Many ppl were excited about Kamala winning. Way more than expected. 😭
You have opened my eyes about red state politics and voters. I have never spoken words to a Trump voter that would lay blame on them, but I have thought it. Schadenfreude isn’t nice, but I’ve felt that, too. I’m trying to be better.
I am having a hard time finding the words for you in Missouri. You are the bellwether, the United States is about to be screwed like the good people of Missouri have been.
Yeah a lot of the yelling i think is wrongly directed locally. Cause like y'all red state Dems go hard. I have legitimately heard stories of how y'all get treated tbh.
Florida voted 57% to keep our original abortion laws. You'd think that would be a win. It wasn't. Now they made it even harder to get an amendment on the ballot. We used to be a purple state. They (Reps) rig everything because no one likes them or their policies.
So, hold them accountable. Hold your neighbors accountable for voting republican. The fight against slavery wasn’t easy neither was the fight for civil rights.
Is anyone taking them to court over this? We voted and our votes count. They can’t just throw them out. We need this to go to court to be turned around. The will of the people need to be the law.
There is a lot of money at the top of the Democratic Party. The leaders are not distributing it or have their priorities in order. It’s time to dump democratic leadership and then we will see change. #dumpchuck #schumerneedstogo
I am so sorry that you fought so hard too. I canvassed for Harris / Walz. Wrote postcards and was heartbroken when we went Red in Pennsylvania. We had ballot issues in a few counties...I think that it contributed.
I feel your pain too. Millions of us in Texas did not vote for the traitor or the evil goons in charge of our state legislature. We keep fighting and fighting… I get frustrated when people say we deserve what we are getting. Hang in there. Love you fellow resisters!🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋
We hear you! The frustration must be brutal! 2/3 of eligible voters in this country did NOT vote for Donald Trump. The vast majority of Americans do NOT want him to be their President - they are ashamed of him & embarrassed by him! 😔
I'm in Florida. Born and raised here and absolutely disgusted at the way the reThugiKKKans here have trashed our laws and state.
The only glimmer of hope is De Santis, aka Death Satan, may finally be taken down.
Oklahoma here. I want the future they voted for! I will suffer so much more to teach these nazi hicks a lesson!
The most red state should bleed the most!!!
The comment "you get what you voted for" are directed at the RED states because the majority of those voters continually vote Republican. I'm in a swing state that goes back & forth Red then Blue. I also understand those comments are not directed at Dem voters in those states.
"You get what you voted for" is aimed at the red state republicans, and non-voters. Red state Dems are just the poor bastards that got stuck in the passenger seat for the ride they never wanted to be on.
As a non American, we see your country choosing a direction as a whole.
Americans are Americans to us.
If you didn’t want it then you wouldn’t be there.
Something I’ve been wondering about is if representatives can be voted for at large. I realize that would be a logistical problem, but could it be? That would eliminate the gerrymandering issue. But how would representatives be applied to their districts? It’s just a thought.
I don't like those posts either. I told you so never does anyone any good. We need to put our focus on change while our legislators are not representing our sentiments and wants.
Something I still try to figure out: what happened to the USA, that money is such a big factor when you run for a position? The amount that candidates have to accumulate to even have the slightest chance...it is extreme compared to other countries. Imagine you spent it for education instead?
How do we get blue orgs to invest in our red states again?? It’s so frustrating to have the will and the manpower but to be paralyzed by lack of cash flow.
What a GREAT message! I grew up in MO, makes me sick to see it red, thrilled to hear your voice, your thoughts. So well said! Sending you love & support from CA!
Same in Mississippi. The Dem in our last gov race came within 5% of winning. The State banned ballot initiatives because we voted in progressive policies and turned down things they wanted like fetal personhood. And we too are gerrymandered to hell and back. And people say we deserve it.
Read up on it quickly - makes sense. It must feel incredibly frustrating to be a Dem in a deep red state. 💔
This is gelling into - w/ some other reading I’m doing - blue state Dems have stopped listening to what’s genuinely wrong. I think a 50 state strategy is likely our way out of this mess.
Truth! Also no one voted for what this regime is doing. Fafo ideas keep us fighting ourselves instead of the fascists. US voters have been subjected to sophisticated propaganda for decades.
Propaganda works and it works extremely well in 2025.
Until this is addressed we will never progress.
I'm from Mo myself down in the granby and neosho area. I left because the people won't change. Neither will the things they vote for or how they treat each other. You can say 40 did that but tbh until you can get them to stop sucking a cloud in the sky off I don't think change will come.
I don't think the point of her post is that we're going to be able to get the MAGAts in our red states to change. It's that we'd like the people in blue stated to stop telling us we deserve all the bad shit happening to us because a bunch of our neighbors voted for an asshole.
Red state/Blue dot here in Louisville. We managed to elect then re-elect a democratic governor. What we need is either money for a red state democrat that you like, or spend some time volunteering for one. Phone banks can be done from home and from any state now.
I sympathize with your statement. Unfortunately, the votes of maga affect all of us. I don’t want to see anyone suffer- but IMO maga alliance to the regime will not end until the proverbial shit hits the fan & magats rise up. I don’t see any other alternative. 🤷🏻♀️
MAGAs voted their racial resentment, independent(centrist, whateveryou want to call them) refused to hold their nostrils and vote for the black lady with the annoying laugh and here we are...
I have longed for a map that shows the percentages in red and blue in every state of the votes for Harris and "he who shall not be named." There may be one out there. We only see completely red or blue. Yes, I do understand the antiquated electoral college. But there was no mandate.
Which is why the EC needs to go. It's no longer relevant. One person one vote and no state borders in a national election. There should have NEVER been such a thing as a "swing state"
Watching local cbs news. “EPA loosened restrictions on plant emissions and stated an EPA official said the regulations do nothing and emissions from power plants don’t contribute to CO2 emissions!” That’s it! Didn’t say these officials are trump acolytes! The media is why we are where we are!!!!
40 percent of Missourins didn't vote for Harris, 40 percent of people in Missouri who voted voted for Harris. Let's no be like the other guys, facts do actually matter even when they don't sound as impressive as lying.
I'm in another red state (Texas) and though I'm surrounded by right-wingers, I was and still am... surprised by just how many stupid people and a**holes are in this country.
Thank you Jess, for always sharing the actual TRUTH with us all.
Please keep fighting and motivating TRUE Americans to STAND UP and GET LOUD.
If we all FIGHT, this will NOT be for NAUGHT!
God yes. I’ve been trying to inform ppl how the hell all blue can win in NC yet NC voted Trump? No way. The votes were not counted or they were flipped for Trump instead of Kamala. It’s impossible. They cheated & even admitted cheating numerous times. 😢
You blame the higly outdated voting system where a vote in New York has a different value than in Ohio etc. States turning red or blue entirely is basicly a very wrong system and is not democratic at all. 2024 Were probably the last free elections for decades, the fascists took power.
Ouch! Unfortunately I don’t think Christ will bail you out of this one.
You might have to put in a bit of legwork yourself.
-call your congress person
-call your senator
-rally on the street.
-act and commit
I don't understand the responses to my posts.😳 Clearly I'm not a Christian Nationalist. I clearly stated my US Senators and House Representatives are Democrats, why would I call them? Is it a communication problem or a reading comprehension problem? I guess I don't speak Missourian.
This is something we need to remember. I am one of those that say "you get what you vote or". I try to point that at people in red states who support this anti-citizen votes...I try to make it clear that is only meant for those that vote for trump against their own interests.
Maryland was the most gerrymandered state in the country. We did something about it and sued, and won. Now it is not. You can do something about the gerrymandering, it is possible.
This is honestly driving me insane. We all know the problem. It's the Democrats. Always has been. We keep banging our heads against the wall, expecting something to change. Just change the damn party.
I know starting a new party is hard, but this ain't working.
Really? No. No & NO!
Democrats continually warned the American voter about the fascist project 2025 & Trump throughout the last election. They drilled it into us. Also, the U.S. population was exposed to Trump’s derangement from 2016-2020. It is not about politics, it’s about a lack of morality.
I’m in Texas and I know when people say “Fuck Texas” it’s just general frustration. They know the cities are blue, and we got Beto and Willie and Jasmine Crocket, and in the misty past we had Ann Richards. Hell, I say “Fuck Texas” too.
Yes. I'm in Ohio and experiencing the same thing. We were a swing state but turned red. Happily I'm in a mostly blue county. But chances are pretty sure that Vivek will be our next governor! The fucking horror of that, ugh. 🤬
I feel for you and I appreciate all you are doing. You are a better Democrat than me. I bailed on Missouri and moved to a blue state where it’s easy to be a Democrat. I support your fight financially. Nothing I would make me happier than to see Missouri blue.
We hear you and we see you. No area is totally red or blue. Let's hope that the judiciary takes this blatant bullshit dictator power lust by POTUS against them and starts disnmantling the gerrymander model once and for all.
America is overdue for a more representative democratic framework.
I hate seeing you get what you vote for like when people talk about Tennesse. Like sure its red state but my wife and me voted democrat we voted in 2020 and 2024, we don't deserve this crap we didn't vote for it we even tried to get other relatives to vote. They didn't but we at least tried
40% of the Missourians who VOTED.
A gran proportion of the total eligible voters stayed home and fucked their siblings or whatever Missouri people do in their spare time.
I guarantee some of our votes were thrown out. So many ppl here were excited about Kamala winning. Way more than expected. I overheard so many early vote conversations about voting for Harris. There’s no way she lost here without it being rigged. 😢
I can't stress this enough: we must call them directly. Until they recognize our voice and enjoy talking to us. Also, make sure to email them. Ask for impeachment.

Unfortunately, we're leaderless and in disarray. E.g. Browse BlueSky and you'll see people declaring we need better communication (a Joe Rogan of the left) and others who say that's pointless because it implies we want to draw back men instead of the base.
It would be nice to have more people communicating with the younger, liberal generations in a way that inspires some interest in them. AOC & Bernie are great but they also have another job. Pete is good too, but there needs to be more platforms to reach people.
Allowing the younger generations to do the things they think are important would be a good start. Instead, they hold down the people with best chance of communicating with & inspiring the voters. The fossils (I'm 74) & the old guard care more about themselves than the country.
I don't think that's entirely fair. At the indivisible protests is been senior citizens out in force.
But yeah, Democrats need to abandon the seniority system for congressional leadership
Yeah, blame the Democrats for voters in Red States who have voted for White Supremacy and Christian Nationalism for centuries. Red States have solidified a political/ religious ideology of racism, bigotry and misogyny. It's a way of life in Red States, has absolutely nothing to do with democracy.
I am a New Yorker who lived in the South. I know the differences. When I first lived in the Carolina's racism, bigotry and misogyny were subtle, just beneath the genteel hospitality. Later, in Fl, racism was displayed as a badge of honor. Nasty. We don't sell or fly Confederate or Nazi merch.
Share @amyactonoh.bsky.social for Ohio’s next Governor. Donations to her campaign or just promoting her would be great. We are in desperate need of new leaders. Mike DeWine and crew are beyond corrupt. Dr. Acton is a strong, intelligent caring woman. She’s cares about Ohio. She’s the leader we need!
Dems in Texas haven’t been as effective as Dems in Missouri about getting good ballot measures passed. But plenty of us continue voting in our extremely gerrymandered state. I don’t understand why the DNC continues to write us off.
That's how Chicanos and Indigenous Americans feel. We didn't vote for him. We've been here for thousands of years. We're here, we've always been here, and we're not going anywhere. It's not deportation, it's human trafficking and enslavement.
I was born and raised in MO. What Jess describes pains me and it's why I contribute to Blue Missouri every month even tho I've lived in California for the last 50 years. Keep at 'em, Jess!
Is there a point where you just come to conclusion I need to leave, because situation is too hopeless. I know that lot of people can't leave, people will fight to the end etc. But if people just simply refuse to change and keep on voting against their own interest.
I have seen videos about those Trump people, there is this cult mindset where you have people brainwashed. It just makes you wonder how many of those people are there. It's hard to get people out of cult. All the best to everyone who are fighting back, it's clearly right thing to do.
Trump is massively cracking his own coalition, because he is not actually smart or clever in a policy sense. Tariffs, the anti-court stuff, really shitting on the troops, refusingFEMA aid, cutting Medicaid and Medicare. People also hateElon. There's every chance we could flip some stuff in midterms.
Additionally wasn't that long ago that Obama almost won here. Because he actually campaigned here a bit was from a neighboring state and people were super mad at Bush at the time. If we effectively prepare the ground and have a decent candidate we could even flip Missouri, especially if the R sucks.
But more practically we could boot Wagner. If the unions set up their potential independent union backed House candidate program we might even flip another seat.
Moving across country is really hard & very expensive. I moved from NC to OR in 2018 & it took an incredible set of circumstances - including substantial legacy from an aunt - to make it possible. Cost over $10,000 all told & I did it uhaul. Love it here but NGL it was the hardest thing I ever did.
I am so sorry this is happening. I live in a blue state & yet we are drowning in MAGOTS. It only takes a few votes to turn a blue state red. So I agree, other blue states should realize that their state could easily turn red if we don’t try to persuade republicans to vote blue.
She’s absolutely correct. The height of arrogance is for a Democrat from a midnight blue state to look down their nose condescendingly at someone fighting in the trenches in a red state. It’s easy to be haughty and outspoken when most of the people around you agree with you.
As a blue state new jerseyian I totally understand what your saying. Hell some of our dem's act like they're republican or even worse sell their souls, I'm looking at you Van Drew! Solidarity is key no matter where we're all at. Support each other and we'll win.
I understand that totally. We have a similar problem in Texas. But here, a lot of our Dems have just given up and don't bother to go vote anymore. Gerrymandering has been killing us for so long it seems pretty hopeless, but I'm out there day 1 of early voting every time anyway.😾
I half agree with this, I feel for the voters that didn’t vote for him, but come on when there is a majority of Republican congressman and senators from red states what’s that about? Voter suppression is a Republican strategy also. Somebody is voting these Republicans in.
rural republicans somehow in these red states they get most of em votes. I don't know why either I live in rural red county. A relative I know we tried to get her to vote Democrat she wouldn't vote at all she was afraid her friends would find out. That was really her words she didn't want them mad
That's gerrymandering. Create new lines that carve up blue and purple districts, place the smaller pieces into solid red districts and poof - fewer Dems and more Repubs in Congress.
It's not like Jim Jordan could ever get elected without this totally sensible map 🙄
We had the 50 state strategy with Howard Dean leading. The idea was funding the Dem Party in every state. It helped elect Obama, then Rahm Emanuel dismantled it, and Republican gerrymandering could flourish.
Whose Republican, corporate idea was that?
I feel like this brings up the importance of electoral college reform. Instead of winner takes all for each state, that state's votes should be divided by the percentage each candidate received. It would be much easier to get that passed than throwing out the college altogether.
Ty for sharing this so that I may as well☝🏾🙏🏾💙
I’m sick n tired of trying to explain that to those saying “we got what we deserve!” Like these fuckers think they’re immune to this kinda crap 💩
Not all of us. 💙💙💙
We need everyone, all of us who want him gone, to stay strong and work together. Keep putting it out there. Keep reminding us. We're all so angry, it's easy to fall in the trap.
Also, remember. Musk rigged the vote. They cheated.

Right on my sister…put it out if it was needed…
Bullying our sister States is NIT kool people…If you have to say to a dem in a red State this kind of crap, it means you are burned out. You need to take time for your own mental health…we’ll still be here when you get back…please 🚫bullying…
Be strong, people are frustrated red states are being attacked just like blue states keep up your good will and remember there’s no red or blue just human nature we all need good decent discourse because we have more in common than our politics. We all, including myself needs to focus on this.
She has my sympathies. I live in a place that is wall-to-wall MAGAtard churches, and to even suggest a hint of impropriety towards their godking is met with almost physical hostility.
The Red State vs Blue State construct is BS. The US is an Urban Archipelago of Blue leaning Purple islands in a sea of Red leaning Purple rural areas. When a state is nearly 50-50 but the legislature has a veto proof majority, whatever that is, it ain't democracy. The stereotypes are unhelpful.
Feel the same Democrat in Red state Montana! Where the poor get poorer!
The sick get sicker!
The Rent increases triple!
But Republicans are are the family party. BS!
People want to point fingers and blame, I made my mistake of ignorance as many with TX when Texas is heavily gerrymandered as well and a great number of people dislike Gov. Abbott to a high degree like Ted Cruz, one manages to botch the electrical grid as the other escapes to Cancun Mexico.
Same with Idaho.
Idaho has attracted some of the most extreme people from blue states to move here.
Democrats have few numbers and no power. I feel like I live among zombies.
The best I can hope for is that some traditional Republicans can win over extreme Republicans, but even that is depressing.
Thank you! As an Ohioan, I feel similar. Many good people I know are on the (left) right side of history in Ohio. The gerrymandering, the money funneling in, the interference… We need support. It’s hard out here.

I didn't vote for any of this BS & did what I could to warn about where things were headed w/the P25 threat, etc.
The FO stage is a vile nightmare for those of us who tried/are trying to do all we can to stand up, speak out, & fight against this.
So they can oppress their Blue citizens without interference? I don't think so.

We need electoral college reform and voting days need to be holidays so people don’t have to choose between paying their bills & voting.

Big, democracy-losing difference.
I remember when FL, TX, and my home state of North Carolina were purple.
Then abandoned to gerrymandering and voter suppression.
We were laughed at.
But Dems need some senators from GA, or an early primary in SC and suddenly we’re all Americans again.
It’s frustrating.
