Nope, you won't. Trump is in office because of the stupidity of the American people. And the whole world will change for the worst because of this. Sad.
A disgraced felon won the most important election in the United States of America. Tomorrow is a disgraceful day. It ranks right up there with 9.11 and January 6.
It's going to take a full Court press effort to deal with this MAGA fascist crap. All of us can make a difference by going to every corner of social media and correct the false narratives being shoveled out in those spaces. I post to Facebook Fox, Newsmax and OAN nearly every day.
I’m so depressed. It’s a funk that is not leaving me. I can’t cry. I don’t want to hit anything. I just want to crawl under the covers, go to sleep, and stay there for four years 😢
Everyone I know is going to keep their TV off. I think we should do the opposite. Let's all turn on a different channel and drive the ratings of that broadcast up. How about The Comedy Channel? All day!!
The only saving grace is his cult will feel all the pain they have wished on everyone else. They are not exempt but they may still drink that kool-aid and tell each other that the $hit still taste like chicken. A lot of them live in the poorest states and he only cares about the 1%.
The majority of your voting constituency elected an idiot. Don’t blame the idiot. With 54% of the American population reading at a 6th grade level maybe spend a bit more on public school funding and pay teachers a living wage. There’s an idea 😂😂
Guess who always opposes funding for schools? I bet you won't have to work too hard to figure it out. And people STILL vote for them! What a vicious circle. It's a little ironic in my case. I'm a product of the private school system the GOP loves so much, and I became a rabid Democrat! 💙😂
Yeah, well, the world won't be holding it's breath. All you scribblers, here's the title of your next book " The Death of the American Dream. Raped into oblivion by Republicans and Greed."
I think Tuesday will be the start of dark days. Today there will be signings and we will find out what evil he has ordered and he will be too busy to celebrate.
Right now, there's no genocide happening to the Palestinian people in Gaza. Had the election results been different, I'm not sure that would be the case.
Mr. Reich, in all honesty, you've got your proverbial old foot out the door, you have no "dog in this fight," bc you're not the one who would be drafted or forced to fight the "enemies within" that are literal Nazis.
You can hide, run, whatever you want bc you have money. Experience. Influence.
I take what you & many other political, religious, or educated scholars say with a grain of salt, bc most of what's said are just words. No action behind them
Sure, protesting, write laws, say things, but when have you fought for your fucking lives? Someone else's life?
I'm trying to contain my depression, my PTSD, my UNBRIDLED RAGE, at the way this world has let this happen, how we've gotten to the point where Nazis are about to literally seize control AGAIN.
I have no hope, no faith, no optimism left for any future where I want to live through MORE 🌎 suffering.
I wish we'd be able to communicate in person, I wish I had a course taught by you, I wish humanity would be willing to stop true evil from doing what it does, bc the past doesn't deserve to be repeated so that more evil POSs get away with rewriting history as they see fit.
Good luck. anyone who reads this, anyone who supports this shit, anyone who just wants to live a life worth living, in peace, quiet, & a respectful atmosphere.
I'm sorry, I'm not the messenger, I'm not Death incarnate, I'm just a dude who knows what comes next, not excited to see innocent deaths. 😥
Are you though? Americans have this myth of being resilient and free and standing up to power.
But I haven't seen any of that. Countries in Europe long ago had strikes and riots about basic workers rights, that Americans still don't have, for example.
Tomorrow we will mourn and celebrate MLK and Carter and consider how we will continue their legacies in the time of Trump and MAGA, when the American people are on the agenda only as campaign rhetoric and as cannon fodder for budget cuts of essential services. /con’t
/2 We have several jobs over the next two to four years:
^ To work locally to support those whose lives will be undercut by the Trump administration and MAGA congress.
^ To find ways to more effectively communicate facts and truth to underserved communities.
^ To elect more Democrats in 2026.
We knew it would be bad, but the inauguration has solidified every fear we had. Nazi salutes, a POTUS refusing to swear on the Bible, and threats to our allies it’s like watching a Confederate neo-Nazi party take the reins instead of the new POTUS. This is THE American nightmare #DefendDenyDepose
Thank you for these words of encouragement. However, I have no confidence in the "essential goodness and common sense of the American people." I'm in a red state surrounded by willful ignorance.
I think it's way over time for some very deep, meaningful, possibly painful American introspection. Not just since 2016 but 4 decades of societal dysfunction. The inequitable justice system & in particular, America's foreign policies over 80 yrs & the impact they have had on incalculable millions 🌐
Weather Channel, ESPN... Any other channels we can watch tomorrow that WON'T be showing the Orange Moron all F'ing day? Thank Jeebus for the college football Finals tomorrow night!
I agree with both points. I was upset after the election but moved on quickly from my anger. I'm focused on resisting and helping others get through this nightmare. I strangely have peace with this moment.
The Roberts Court super charged the oligarchy by their Citizens United decision that allowed for unlimited money to be given to politicians. All politicians are now for sale to the highest bidder 💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰
Democracy is on the endangered species list.
I say this with the utmost respect for your tireless efforts to educate and inspire, what you have written is so much easier for a financially secure, well educated, high profile, white man to say. History has already demonstrated how many of “us” don’t make it through these scourges.
I think every pro-democracy, rule of law parent is in the worst position. Explain to a child how people decided a lying criminal insurrectionist was suitable for the highest office. What a dreadful role model is this president. Shame and confusion for generations to come.
I hope I can hang on. I have family on both sides of the border and with the coming dispute between Trump and Canada, I am not sure how much I can say now and still be granted access to the US. Still, courage is a better way than safety.
I’m celebrating Martin Luther King, Jr day, tomorrow. Think I’ll re-read his “Letter from Birmingham Jail.” That he wrote this “thesis” without reference books—and probably without a Bible—astounds me. MLK had a brilliant mind!
Reading you from across the pond... wishing the US and the rest of us luck for the next few years... hard to believe this man is where he is again. Thanks for your thoughts.
Let’s change our profile picture tomorrow to MLK to show unified opposition in big numbers. I’ve changed mine already and added MLK Junior quote “there is no peace without justice”.
I love the optimism but this is going to cause a LOT of deaths.
From the rise in Pandemics and once-eliminated diseases, any and all consumer and environmental safety standards eliminated along with the ability to hold corporations and CEOs accountable, to the rise in MAGA-Nazis/Christo-Fascists.
Trump will have to step down because more than 100 millions of americans will become sick because of him.
People should revolt against those billionaires who want to control everything , we should sent them in jails and seize all their assets to pay the nation deficit.
We created this scourge by voting for twined evils repeatedly. Are we going to 'get through it' by voting for the same parties that got us here? Nope. We won't.
I wish I shared your enthusiasm and faith in the American public, @rbreich.bsky.social. I was at the march yesterday and really anticipated far more people than 2017 but was sorely disappointed. We're tired, I get it. But, why are more people not standing up? We can't lay down!
Absolutely, Resilience is key, and it’s inspiring to see people come together during tough times. We’ve faced challenges before, and we’ll get through this one too.
But, when given the opportunity to do so, far too many people are just rolling over! Folks! We have to get up and get moving! Giving up is simply not and option! Crying and shit posting lamenting what is around the corner isn't going to work! We HAVE to organize!
Here's a preview of 2025 Inaugural address on that dark day:
"We broke the media in 1987.
Then we smashed institutions in the early 2000's.
By 2022, we destroyed social media by buying it.
Now, the only thing left is the People. Once we break you, we will be forever rich!"
#Democrats - for tomorrow’s rotunda circle jerk #inauguration
1. Post #MLK content to celebrate & prioritize his legacy & day of honor. MLK hashtags & posts should be the #1 rated post/search on the internet tomorrow.
2. Do not watch inauguration. Stream @meidastouch.com to tank Trumps ratings.
Don't u think it's an interesting comment made by Trump about his win in the election in Pennsylvania? Thanking Musk for knowing about computer and voting machines and thanking Elon? Kind of seems like this should be investigated immediately.
If a dictator is taking over a country, you can expect wars, discrimination, cruelty, torture, arbitrary decisions, sycophancy, ruthlessness, nepotism and plundering of the wealth of the country, but you don’t expect it to be by an imbecile who can’t string a coherent sentence together.
💙 I just want to say: Remember this day. The last full day with a Democratic President. We don’t know when, or if, we’ll ever live another day like this.
I appreciate the words of encouragement and to keep the faith. I’m horrified by the daily stories on how this man continues to destroy our country with his lies, his ignorance, his greed and delusional thinking that he is somehow a king.
My dad is one of those people who thinks that good people will prevail. That in 2 years we'll be back to divided government, and we can block his shit in Congress. Nothing is a foregone conclusion, though. We can't give up, or YOU'LL be right. I don't think we're at the point of no return yet.

At what cost?
At whos expense?
A Trump presidency on steroids!
Actual quote.

Sure, protesting, write laws, say things, but when have you fought for your fucking lives? Someone else's life?
How do you think this ends?
I have no hope, no faith, no optimism left for any future where I want to live through MORE 🌎 suffering.
Wishes don't kill Nazis.

And the hysteria after *one* black president?

On 1/6/2025 we watched 'the peaceful transfer of power' to a coup.
That was MUCH worse than the events of 1/6/2021.
Like Nov 1923 vs Jan 1933.
Please wake up.
But never fear.
It's pooring
the old man is snoring.
Actually I never saw so much rage and hate together. This is not yet a nice platform.
Fascism only plays by fascist rules. No court nor congress can stop the side with all of the firepower. The “rules” are simply arbitrary at this point
#BidenHarris ❤️
Share wide and far hahaha
Democracy is on the endangered species list.

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr!

Thank you
We shall overcome.
Because we’re going to pass a NEW constitutional amendment to #BanALLBans on activities that don’t harm others.

All at once!
Please REPOST our petition!

I'm sorry. I've seen no such proof that would inspire this degree of confidence.
We are a country of cruel, selfish people, and I fail to see the goodness you're so confident of.
