please enlighten us, we need a plan. if have any ideas let al l of us know. i have suggested a number of thing over that last couple of days. read them and elaborate on them please
we fight by talking just like him to frame him in to a self destructive corner. need to drive him crazy memes all day
OMG. Democrats have been the only party since Ike to defend and extend democracy in America and the world. Republicans have spent the fifty years subverting it and creating the spawning ground for Trump Inc.
JHC! Democrats have been beating back Republican despotism successfully for most of an effing century. Thugs and thieves took over the party the day Eisenhower left. Ike saw them coming and so did Goldwater.
Where’s the effing humility?
Obviously, no Republicans have any idea of what it takes to beat Trump. JFC! They steered their own party right into Trump’s clutches. And then they jumped ship like rats when Trump took over. They abandoned their party and the nation completely. God bless them all.
They could start by having a pulse. Where the eff are they?! So impotent and meek. They had time to prepare. There was literally a playbook written and published of what he was going to do.
Georgia:"The Secretary of State may request a recount at his or her discretion if a candidate for federal or state office petitions the office regarding an apparent discrepancy or error in the returns.
Totally agree as they never learned how to fight someone who doesn't play by the rules. Either adapt or lose but know if you lose there will be no mercy for what's next.
Agree...they have been standing in a resolute circle, facing each other, and shooting at paper targets. The Dem left/right/middle need to stop bickering and come up with a singular voice. The extremes are too extreme and the middle is too quiet. The extremes turn off voters and the middle says zero
Today's deep thought for Dems: why the hell this administration is offering to pay all federal employees for six months to do no work. Hell of a use of American tax dollars.
I’m more upset about my tax dollars paying for all the Republicans to be wined, dined and entertained at Mar a Lago for 3 days and the several million spent to fly 80 undocumented migrants to Colombia.
The whole transgender attacks are red herrings that the Ds keep falling for. The attacks are vile and disgusting but most Americans tragically don’t care and while Ds respond to that they are losing site of the big issues. Corruption, despotism, radicalization of the military etc.

I know they say that they are trying to take the high road. But saying nothing seems a whole lot like going along with it. Maybe they need to be shown Connery's speech from the movie "The Untouchables"?
Sound bites are only a small piece - there is lots going on - from lawsuits to obstruction. That said / our senators need to obstruct his cabinet nominees, not enable them.
I hear you, but we need to fight "Trumpism", not Trump (IMHO)
Trumpism arose due to:
~Gerrymandering
~Citizens United
~Mitch's SCOTUS steals
~Social media algorithms (domestic & foreign)
~Billionaires owning the major media outlets
~racism
~misogyny
The dems need to take their show on the road. Rallies, rallies, and more rallies about all the shit Trump is doing to harm the middle and lower income families.
AOC needs to come to the center and speak out. She is smart but too left right now.
We need our own circus tour.
At the rate the news is coming out, they’d be on the road 7 days a week. They do have jobs as legislators. If they spent all time in rallies, pundits and the peanut gallery wld complain “you’re in Congress - DO something about it.” No win situation.
Well, it worked for the GOP. We COULD just sit on our hands but that is not working. We need to do our own "flooding of the zone" and counter attack. We need to take over headlines.
Except many of us don’t have the resources to leave so what we just die? Cool idea 🙄 yay political Eugenics! Reminds me of Covid when they wanted us disabled folks to just die also.
Oh such little faith in the Blue States people to create a plan and work it all out. I'd be the first one in line to help do whatever I had to, in order to make it work.
Well Mr. Mascara, if the Blue States left we would be taking with us the might of the Blue States economies. I'm sure with the people's spirit for a free Democracy and the Constitution our economic and manufacturing strength of the Bl St's and our high tech dominance we could come up with a plan.
I’m sure whatever plan our ineffective and bullshit democratic “leadership” who are only worried about lining their pockets instead of serving their constituents will find some way to fuck it up like they did in November.
I agree that we need some one like Miss Crockett to lead and kick some ass. I am dismayed at the timid response happening now. Except for the ton of lawsuits already filed against his illegal and unconstitutional executive orders. 🏳️🌈
I would vote yes for Canada to take us here in Oregon. I’d even let Idaho have the eastern part that wants separated from us. If Wa and Cali join us…we would crush it.
Normal People usually don't know how to deal with GROUPS OF SOCIOPATHS Who are all Destroying Democracy in a Chaotic Frenzy all at once.
What are YOUR great ideas???
According to Timothy Snyder, they need to figure it out at warp speed...https://snyder.substack.com/p/the-logic-of-destruction?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android&r=e17j8&triedRedirect=true
Trump’s use of the door-in-the-face technique involves making an extreme initial request, which is likely to be rejected, followed by a more moderate request. This approach can lead to higher compliance with the second request, as it appears more reasonable in contrast.
Ben Wikler gets it.
And all the critics of the Democrats not handling Trump overlook the will of the American people. They wanted Trump and knew what it would mean. You just have to adjust your understanding of what this country has become.
Goddamn, so true!!!! I Wake up to this headline @ HuffPo: "A 5 Alarm F-ing Fire': Trump's Federal Funding Freeze Is Jolting Some Dems Into Fight Mode" ...Jolting SOME Dems??? WTAF?? And just now???? I'm some poor retired shlub who saw this coming pre election!! Quit giving in to them!
So you get all your info from social media? Try actually watching them in real time. There are elected Dems who are speaking out every day. You are not paying attention to them.
So you didn't even read what I posted, did you. Where doe it say that I get my info from social media in my post? Where? Please enlighten me, oh snarky one!
Social media is where the most people are complaining about Democrats not doing anything, and I don't see much coverage of what they are doing when they do take action on Social Media. So I would assume that this is where you you get most of your news. Ds also include all of us, and Dem governors.
Well maybe YOU shouldn't "assume" so much. If you'd actually read my post you would've noticed that I was talking about a headline from Huffington Post. I'm pretty sure that's not "social media". 🙄How about focusing on the actual issue at hand instead of tearing down an individual making a comment.?
Shaming them away from their beliefs (which they think are the correct ones) is a futile exercise. Instead we need to put energy into strategically defending what we believe to be right.
Perhaps they do… give the scu——- enough rope to hang himself… he will continue to overreach… extend himself… sure there will be damage done… but it’s the quickest way to take house back and senate in a landslide… he has two years to cause all the damage with dozens of accomplices in congress…
This! It is embarrassing. So many of us are stuck trying to figure out how to navigate surviving all this with no leadership or representation. We need a revolution.
It's not just fighting Trump, it's fighting the thugs behind Project 2025. They're the ones really running this show. Trump is just on his personal revenge tour of everyone who's said anything bad about him over the past 6 years. Especially anyone involved in prosecuting him.
Oh they do, they just won't. They have all the words and no actions whatsoever. I'm a lifelong dem and done with all of them. They are spineless and are bootlicking the idiot also.
Congress, Senate & the US Military are who have to stop this. They will not do that until the threat is greater to them for disobeying 'we the people' than the threat of disobeying the authoritarian oligarchs. That's what it's going to take for them to suddenly figure it out.
Exactly! They need to get their butts out there in front of every microphone, social media news etc and tell the public why the GOzp and Trump are screwing them over
I have seen clips of many of them doing just that, but that was on MSNBC. When is the media going to cover them. Maybe that is who we should making demands of and demeaning instead.
Saudi Arabia & The DC Helicopter Crash? This seems like a conspiracy fit for Trump. This astute researcher traces the helicopter departure to a residential neighborhood in a house owned by Saudi Arabia. It’s worth a look-see and I think it raises very legit questions.
I agree! However, these elected officials of ours who stand between criminality, illegality, and frankly anarchy as Trump tries to turn our republic into a monarchy better get a game plan and start executing it immediately
You couldn't possibly be talking about @schumer.senate.gov, could you? Not Senator Bipartisanship, Minority Leader of the Stern Monotone! Leave him out of this!
I know. 🤷♂️ still high on Obama years. Trying to play by outdated rules. It's a rugby field, but Dem leaders want to sip cocktails and play golf on it.
Rest easy folks - Jeff (GOP Jeff for those with memories) is here to continue the grift without actually helping.
I can’t wait for the next hilarious meme or ad - that clearly worked. 🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️
Perhaps the Democratic party can confer with the old guard republican strategists who have left the maga party to in order to learn how to fight back republican style. Their republican messaging etc. helped get us in this mess, maybe reverse messaging strategies can help get us out?
Democrats are far more interested in preventing progressives and more "radical" leftists from gaining any serious power than they are in fighting Trump, which is why they have been and will continue to el ultimately enable him.
Correct. Bang on. WHERE R THEY? The exceptions who I always always think are good are Jasmine Crockett, AOC, Jamie Raskin & those Tennessee 3 who all seemed v effective to me. I find the “talent” in the Senate just 😱dismal. Dismal. WAKE UP HE IS DOING A LOAD OF ILLEGAL STUFF RIGHT IN FRONT OF U.
Does it even matter now? It’s too late to fight him. You can’t fight the guy who controls the US military. Other countries have tried it and failed and they have a lot bigger budget than a bunch of art teachers in Springfield, mass. There isn’t a single democrat coming to save us. The party is done.

cheating, lying, and betraying
the nation, and subverting the
Constitution are the other only things.

- if people want to vote for the face eating leopard, it’s hard to offer an alternative
- you can’t shame people who feel no shame (and are fine going along with Hegseth or Duffy or Tulsi as Cabinet heads)
2. Rhetorically punch him and his Nazi under-turds in in their fat, stupid, faces
3. Eat lots of protein
