That’s not leadership.

Where is the outrage from his voters in Los Angeles ? We know he has LA support and some of their homes have been burnt to the ground!

amjoy25.bsky.social•77 days ago

LA is very blue.

laurenk77.bsky.social•77 days ago

Obviously, but it’s not 100% and 5% more voted for him this time than last time. So where is their outrage? Fires didn’t discriminate a political party.

valkyrievibe.bsky.social•77 days ago

At this point, wouldn't it be best to say DJT wants to defund the US? No assistance, period. There are no rules for those in charge only for us subordinates. Why are we funding this or even allowing it?

ajgrowsfood.bsky.social•77 days ago

It’s called privatization. The goal is to make the only way to access things is through corporations. Look at the way the USSR’s state assests were sold off to the highest bidder.

valkyrievibe.bsky.social•77 days ago

I understand. What I am asking is how do we stop it?

ajgrowsfood.bsky.social•76 days ago

It might be too late to stop it. But you can get involved with your local orgs, start building mutual aid networks and alternative circular economies, and get in contact with every left org or union you can and try to tie them together with the alternative economies.

colleenevan.bsky.social•76 days ago

This is fascism, where corporations control everything, and it’s wrong.

ajgrowsfood.bsky.social•76 days ago

Fascism is the merger of corporation and state. Privatization is a tool in their belt for setting the stage for fascism, but it’s not fascism proper.

colleenevan.bsky.social•76 days ago

It’s a slippery slope when added to all of the other plans being implemented. I would completely agree with you but for current conditions.

ajgrowsfood.bsky.social•76 days ago

Well, nothing I said doesn't line up with reality. Reagan implemented austerity measures and privatization in the 80s and his followers have been using these tools to set the stage for someone like Trump to come along and solidify these elements. You can think of neoliberalism as a precusor for fash

They paid their taxes to the government and now they want EVEN MORE!! How much more will USA put up with bullshit??

That’s fascism/authoritarianism/Trumpism/the wannabe Dictator won General Miley, on your watch!

jonesy2653.bsky.social•77 days ago

It’s tragic. Un-American and unforgivable. Expect this to continue for the next 4 years. He’s waging war on Americans.

craftamundous.bsky.social•76 days ago

Yes, yes he is. Gonna frisk us for every red penny we have to add to his collection.

angela-8736.bsky.social•77 days ago

A president does his job for the people, for everyone. Not for a certain
group, state...!

wyattthomson.bsky.social•77 days ago

Not the mango mussilini

hanzih.bsky.social•77 days ago

It’s called LIEdership

thecharisse.bsky.social•77 days ago

I hope you weren't expecting leadership from a festering bag of lying pus being driven from behind by the most evil handlers that ever used a narcissisric cult leader for his end-stage syphilis.

darkpupsouls.bsky.social•77 days ago

No federal programs, should mean no federal taxes

mykel11.bsky.social•77 days ago

Was there any expectation that trump would lead? All he wants is attention and profit and his MAGA hoards and GOP weaklings play right into it.

chartuc.bsky.social•75 days ago

its colluded coercion.

aloesnapz.bsky.social•77 days ago

Not like you purposely failed us in the elections Dems. Get fucked

unclesamson.bsky.social•77 days ago

The word you're looking for is "Extortion"!

slip-wet.bsky.social•77 days ago

We have a lot of Republicans here. I just wonder what they may be thinking about the great orange turd. Especially if their house burned up, Malibu and Palisades are pretty wealthy.. a lot of red there.

lauriemann.bsky.social•77 days ago

Classic dictator behavior. Pathetic that Congress is so impotent in fighting Trump (yes, I know #MAGAts have the majority in Congress). Terrible they won't acknowledge a dictator by his actions.

danamarie.bsky.social•77 days ago

Withhold your federal money California

97chicago.bsky.social•77 days ago

We are aware. We know he cheated . Gov had the goods on him , DID NOTHING

amjoy25.bsky.social•77 days ago

No one said he’s a good leader.

pagil.bsky.social•77 days ago

mommieod24.bsky.social•77 days ago

My thought is that in his shriveled pea-brain, he believes if the folks who lost everything, be it a home or business, will be frustrated enough to leave the state and be replaced by MAGA-loving voters, thus turning CA red. Nothing is too far fetched with this guy.

bluegamgam.bsky.social•77 days ago

Well so when a democrat is back in office( president) and a red state needs help , tell them to end their abortion ban and or prohibit assault rifles

ashmarie1083.bsky.social•76 days ago

Because if people are homeless then they won’t pay attention to the other crap he’s doing to ruin this country.

Breaker in chief.

melsinmt.bsky.social•77 days ago

California residents paid taxes that fund disaster relief, the same as every other citizen in the US, and have a citizens right to access to that support. Moreover, shunning CA is perilous to the stability and economies of every state.

majorliz.bsky.social•77 days ago

Hopefully all this overreach from him will mobilize voters for 2026 when the entire House is up for election, and what is it, 33 Senate seats. Let's make him lame duck and frustrate the life out of him.

dougerknaught.bsky.social•77 days ago

If the federal government is no longer there for the states than what is the benefit of being a member of the union. I say Cali et al just collect state taxes and no longer collect federal taxes. States rights after all. No reason to fund govt if it doesn't help in times of need.

craftamundous.bsky.social•76 days ago

Alas, it's the final countdown for the US.

Nazi behavior from a wannabe dictator

rodhargrove.bsky.social•77 days ago

I’m sad for my state California.

coolxenu.bsky.social•77 days ago

Of course it's not leadership but it is what your racist, ignorant country voted for.

notbrainwashed.bsky.social•77 days ago

So the president of the United States is holding federal help for Americans who just had a natural disaster destroy their home/lives, to change voter rules. Aka the president of the United States is blackmailing publicly States that don't fall in line with his thinking.

lucindabeez.bsky.social•77 days ago

This is only the start …

rabbitlifecoach.bsky.social•77 days ago

He has NEVER been a leader. All he ever was has been "what do I have to do to put you in this time share today?"

iamcanadian3672.bsky.social•77 days ago

No, it's pettiness.
