It’s not who We are. It’s who THEY are. Just like during the Cold War, when we didn’t hate the Russians and the East Germans but we hated their governments? That’s who we are now.
Scotus is corrupt
Congress is corrupt

Hey... I'm trying to be gentle here but... she wasn't ignoring you. She was literally telling you that we have more influence over our fellow white women than a lot of other demographics do, and suggesting something you could do to help.
My view is that we need to be okay with things seeming hostile when they come from a group that has been ignored, talked down to, and infantilized for literally centuries. Sometimes you just have to be willing to let people be frustrated, angry, etc. when they have a right to be.
Unfortunately there are a lot of white maga women and white women whose hub tells them how to vote. I sure as hell was behind Kamala and thought she was going to win but Elon had other ideas.
She DID win.
I find it odd the people who’ve really had the guts to take on Trump directly & forcefully have been mostly Black/POC women—Latitia
James, Fani Willis, Kamala Harris, AOC, Jasmine Crockett—something’s got to give.
It’s also not helping that when a Black person suggests that you direct this messaging to the white people who caused it, your reaction is “it’s not helpful”… This is why I don’t trust or want the “blue crew” anywhere near me with your performative rhetoric.
I am directing it to everyone who might care or at least sees the danger. My point was slamming all white people and not welcoming those who are on the right side is not helpful.
They are taking immense pride and enjoyment from the destruction of this country. They can not be redeemed. Forget about them and concentrate on the fence-sitters.
I love your optimism. I certainly have tried with the magats in my life, but I'm tired of the toxic energy and abject stupidity they emanate.
I'll give you my maga militia brother's number and also the coworker so toxic I left that job for another. Two of many I know who refuse to see the light.
There have to be consequences. That can also include personal consequences, like the loss of relationships.
I refuse to have anything to do w MAGATS, & think others should do the same.
I don’t give a damn if it’s family: cut them OFF. We need to make it socially unacceptable to support this bs.
To me they're even worse. What incentive did they have? Don't people pay attention to the news? How anyone can NOT know what a malignant narcissist Trump is at this stage of the game is beyond me.
I don't hear much of an outcry. It's just like when Trump said he'd make Canada 51st state or buy Greenland or take over Panama and Gaza.
Crickets.
When you think it can't possibly get worse, wait for next week, Whole new chapter of nuttery.
Crickets.
The outcry is increasing every day. & unless U listen closely U won’t hear the growing uproar across the 50 states, territories&DC. (Supposedly it only needs 2B 3.5% of the population (total? Voters? Etc?)) At any rate I’m going 2 think positive & do what I can, not throw water on what is happening.
If you're referring to the trump administration, billionaires bought the election. The ruling class won. So it's not who we are. But unless we organize, they police who we're allowed to be 🏳️⚧️
Plus you appear to be saying we should allow this to be who we are. Even if you are right that all Americans are awful, why would you not want that to stop being true?
We are not what we do.
We are not what we seem. We are not we want.
This is who we really are.
We can't allow this.
We can't prevent this.
We can't deny this.
Let's us be who we are.
Elections are how we decide who represents us. In 2024 we failed because
1. many did not bother to vote at all &
2. many chose a twice impeached FELON over a much more qualified W O M A N because of their sexist beliefs.
Trump has made it who we are… right now. We are now on the road to becoming like Russia. We need to change that. And is going to be more difficult than we realize
It will be very difficult but must be done. However, we cannot forget Trump would be nothing without MAGA and other Trump voters. Hopefully more and more are recognizing the mistake they made and will join forces with us.
I doubt the American people will turn on him. The propaganda is engraved in their heads, and deprograming them is an impossible task as long as @foxnews.com.web.brid.gy is around. The media like the @washingtonpost.com is moving in Fox’s direction, so we are doomed.
Yes, however, empires don't die quietly.
Without shelter from the surveillance state, we can't even organize.
If we managed to launch any meaningful protest, they'll send in the tanks and helicopters and armed drones.
It's hard to sell folks on revolution these days.
That's what I thought but they are carrying out the propaganda project quite well, in addition to the fact that their goal of exhausting the American public has worked. People have their heads in the sand and just say they're stocking up on nonperishables and binge-watching favorite shows & movies.
Nobody is giving up. But we each have to figure out how we can have the most impact against the oligarchs. It is clear we need to cut off the money to Republicans that comes from Bezos, Musk and others.
Our goal should be to starve despots like Bezos and Musk. We have to stop feeding these guys, no Amazon, no Tesla, no @washingtonpost.com and no X. That’s how we have hope. Shop local and help your community if you can. #NoMeta #NoAmazon #NoTesla #NoWalMart #NoUline #NoTarget
Agreed, but they have rigged the system so that with a minority of voters they have all the power. Democracy loving people are in a hole that will be nearly impossible to get out of.

We see literal hand fulls of people protesting.
Even CONGRESS stood outside a building they had EVERY RIGHT TO ENTER, obeying some dude in a t-shirt who said "You can't go in there."
WTF, America?
Apparently this is EXACTLY who we are.
The American people are addled ignorant magically thinking imbeciles.

As others pointed out, non-white voters, especially Black voters, overwhelmingly looked at Trump and said “this is a bad idea”
What is difficult about saying white communities chose those?
I would happily tell my grandkids about the time the Red team saved the world.

for failing we the people and betraying the ideals of our Constitution.
They love rubio I only care about the homeless. Poor working poor working class lgtqia minorities& women. I.D.A.F. about anything but global human rights & the planet. Anyone who doesn't care about those 2 things above all else Capitalism Nazis need to die globally

GIVE IN????
NEVER!!!
I am the daughter of a WWII hero. I will fight to my death if necessary.
I was simply expressing disappointment and concern on the heels of a VERY bad day as an American.
