I hope that in the near future, the Democrats will form a coalition with these real Republicans, like Liz Cheney, who has so much prestige, that will unite the Americans against Trump and his rabble for the next elections… if there are more elections. (Trump will try a 3rd mandate).
I have a big ole thread here detailing a bunch of Republicans speaking out and how red state folks can help If anyone wants to boost the thread to help me, I'd appreciate it a lot.
Just about all of Trump’s policies are destroying American global power. The main beneficiary is Xi Jinping as it allows China to replace the United States as the world’s superpower. Trump’s myopic worldview, admiration for autocrats, & self-obsession are combining to threaten America’s future.
Can I be blunt? I don’t care that history won’t be kind to these people and their enablers. I don’t want to wait 15-20 years for that. The time is now to stop this from getting worse.
I don't know much about Liz Cheney's record as a politician. I have respect for her integrity and willingness to go against trump, even at the risk to her career. I don't vote for a party, I vote for a good leader. I keep hoping she'll run for President.
Not everything. Shrump still conveniently believes in trickle down economics like reagan "did" and somehow the #gop still does "believe" in... conveniently...
Don't worry, these Putin-loving ducks will be on dinner menus before you know it... the only question is, do you want your duck fried, baked, or grilled? 😅
How I wish someone would do something. How I wish the Military would step in to defend the Constitution. We are all witnessing the collapse of the United States and doing nothing but posting on social media.
Problem will be the ban on the real history of this time. Abolition of DEI, transgender rights, climate change, indigenous people here and in Palestine, holocaust history, slavery, women’s rights https://et.al will hide the hideous truth
The soldiers buried in battlefields around the world and in Arlington also fought & died to protect and preserve the very things being so happily destroyed as fast as possible by the Maga morons. Were those useless deaths now? It seems so. Heartbreaking.
It was ironically Reagan that set the stage through his appointments and anti-union stances etc that have led us to where we are today distrust of government was what Reagan ran on and what the Felon totally exploited so I give him no credit but he would do the right thing very occasionally
"I thought that someone with his business acumen would have come in with a fine-tooth comb... instead of coming in with a wrecking ball and destroying people’s lives for no reason"
Republicans in congress are so utterly pathetic and useless. They truly deserve to be rounded up and stuffed in a hole somewhere. Traitors. Every single one of them. Not one of them had the balls or the decency or the fucking patriotism to deny any of trumps asinine appointments.
To quote the Guardian "In this new world where the foreign policy of the most powerful country on Earth has been rapidly reorganised around the fragile ego of a sullen and resentful old man, you might as well launch missiles at America’s eastern seaboard as utter a few words of rebuke"
Maybe she needs to recite the preamble of the constitution and remind people of how she believes and we believe.
For the people by the people we establish justice first thing
I disagree with Liz on this one, Trump is everything previous generations of Republicans built. The Republicans groomed the electorate for 50 years just for this moment.
We can all see that Trump is hostile towards the leaders of the free world and is openly admiring of dictators and authoritarians. Can there be any doubt of whom he intends to emulate.
Trump is a corporate raider, but of nations at this point. He sees aid, values and norms as a weakness to gaslight & leverage for quid pro quos. As he tears down his allies for gain, the American kleptocracy is pandemic, ISOLATE this diseased state, BOYCOTT EVERYTHING!
This isn't a condemnation, this is just another political statement from someone who wants to be the next leader of a new GOP that will rise form the ashes of this one once Trump is done with them. This is why Harris campaigned with her. Like Democrats, Cheney is a status quo politician.
They probably do, to those who were conned into voting for Trump. I agree Reagan did a lot of harm, but in the sort term, she is trying to turn them against Trump and the world needs her to succeed.
We need to refer to all of these things as done by the Republican administration. Put the blame squarely where it belongs. Make them take responsibility for tRump.
I was proud to serve in the US Army under commanders-in-chief Ronald Reagan and George H. W. Bush, two Republican presidents who understood America’s role in the world, the importance of our democratic allies, and the dangers posed by Russian aggrandizement. They’re spinning in their graves today.
Reagan literally started the GOP down this path. The anti-science, homophobia, racism, funneling money to the wealthy, mandatory heavy prison sentences, trying to keep the working class uneducated.
Trump is an extension of Reagan and the GOP. He is the culmination of their work.
I have always said Reagan was the beginning of the downfall of America. He said, "I always felt the 9 most terrifying words in the English language are, I'm from the government, and I'm here to help." He also had dementia for years, yet someone was propping him up, and making policy for him.
I believe this plan has been in place ever since Trump was compromised to Russia, and he colluded with Russia to steal his first term. 17 of the world’s top intelligence agencies agreed.
To put it bluntly and politely Liz is trying to say the GOP that are enabling tRump and the take over of our country are a bunch of wimps! Didn’t want to use the ‘P’ word.
Who cares anymore about some condemns? They need take out and stomp to the ground. Whole regime and enablers, casual trump voters should just let regret for rest of they're lifes.
Well said. The GOP is digging its own grave by endorsing trump. We can help motivate them with an ultimatum. let's contact our Washington politicians if they are Republicans and tell them that they won’t be re-elected if they don’t stop trump. He needs to be impeached and removed from office.
I have enormous respect for Cheney. But her admonitions, though appropriate, are not swaying any amongst her former colleagues. I am not sure how this ends, but it isn't going to be with the GOP House or GOP Senate putting an end to it. They are feckless cowards unwilling to stand up for America.
@democrats-judiciary.house.gov @democracydocket.com will there be any response to this madness? We’re circling the drain and it seems it is another spectator sport 😳
The 'Reagan' Republicans can see what is happening. Unfortunately, this period has show that their personal desire to stay in Congress exceeds whatever principles they pretended to have,
I didn’t read all the project 2025 but what I did read kind of suggest getting rid of the Congress. It clearly does not make any distinction between Democrats or Republicans in Congress. Maybe some of them should start reading. Before it’s too late and too late is close.
Thank you Liz Cheney for your continued courage to put country over party and to call out bold faces lies by this traitorous dangerous corrupt man. Your courage and leadership I pray will be lead the way for your fellow colleagues to do the same. 💜💪🙏
She is right. It’s incredible that todays GOP rationalizes what’s happening so they can go along to get along. Meanwhile, America is being betrayed by the Felon.
while I like what she says NOW! What were her views b4 Trump? Instead of running her mouth on social media, she should get with all those folk who sided with Ka Ma La and form alliances with the never trumpers and speak to those legislators, either they get with the program or get primaried, period!
History is written by the victors. Future generations will never truly know what a steaming dog pile Trump, Republican congresspeople, and the supreme Court were back in the 2020s.
She's so 'right'. I hope they do enjoy all the pain they are going to go thru. Nothing like watching your family suffer and/or die right before your eyes. Needlessly.
Here’s my problem with this. We should be outraged at every other Republican, not focused on the one that’s not totally insane. No more this is normal bullshit. More What the fuck is this bullshit capitulation
Overnight Trump title himself a Dictator. People don’t care. When he closes the borders & start imprisoning his enemies, they might blink then. Many will not vote Democrat any longer because of their failure to stop Trump now. People need to act now or go down with the sinking ship.
The End.
The GOP don’t realise that Trump will eventually turn on them once they have passed his budget. Once through that’s all he needs to abandon them and go full on King.
Trumps only alliance is with money, power and the people he can use to get him more. (untill they don’t get him that anymore then they’re otiose)
He doesn’t give anything about anyone besides himself.
@lizcheney.bsky.social Surely you and ya Father, The Bushes, etc., have some sway. Or are you and all the former republicans going to stand their useless as Russian Agent Orange kicks out the foundations and make’s himself King for Life?!?
I don’t care what history does right now. I care about what those in Congress, particularly Republicans, are going to do right now to stop the #fascistfelon
They are going to do nothing. The best hope for US is that they’re still an election in two years and no one can vote for any Republican no matter how good they are to their own community. everyone said this was going to happen now fucking listen and in two years vote your asses off and there’s out.
Reagan started down this path. Gingrich villainized the Dems. Fox News gave him and his ilk a platform. Cheney silenced criticism. The Tea Party created a safe space for bigots, and Trump brought them all together with birtherism. Each played a part, but yes, Reagan directed the GOP on this path.
“... We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.”
with the cataclysm, indescribable disaster that Trump and his gang of mafia fascists are causing, I don't understand why voices that count like Obama, Kamala, and other personalities, are not coming out to call for revolt, for a surge? He causing irreparable damage in 🇺🇸, but also all over the world.
Because of the “golden rule on former presidents never commenting or criticizing the sitting president “? Or lack of courage? Or, guess what… they wish they could have gotten away with this? Or they’re all part of that 1% Bernie rails against?
Truth is that all Republican senators / congressmen have become apparatchiks of the authoritarian leader Trump. It is to be expected that this will end american democracy. Trump and his oligarchs will establish an authocratic regime with sham elections like in Russia. Trumps is copy paste Putin.
Russia is a murderous kleptocratic state, run by crime bosses. Stand with Ukraine to defeat Russian imperialism that seeks to dominate their neighboring nations for the corrupt profit of Russia’s theftocracy, of which Putin is the head.
Well, Liz...the Republican party has deteriorated so much that Reagan (or anybody) looks better compared to Trump--the lowest bar I've seen in my lifetime.
Call your Congresspersons, especially the wussy Republicans. The Felon in Chief is siding with Russian War criminals over our allies & UKRAINE whose sovereignty was ATTACKED & INVADED by Russia, America's oldest geo-political foe. Trump's a seditious traitor. RISE UP, America, before it's too late.
I would have more respect for her if she publicly said she lied about after birth abortions and had more accountability for helping him get in office to begin with.
Great. Then let’s see her do something more than put words on the internet. We need her and others to stand up and actually try and do something to stop Trump and Musk.
I’m yelling into the abyss. I would assume she still has a few phone numbers of people still in congress. How about making some calls and finding a few who are brave enough to stand up to the king.
A good portion of the country is too. We need to keep calling our representatives, I’ve started calling my state representatives as well demanding we cut off whatever funding we’re sending to the federal government. If the feds won’t spend it, we should keep our money.
Liz Cheney is from the old school, she s a american conservative. Trump is a global hedonist fascist, he's a thug. He's from no country. Trump is the antithesis of Reagan and Thatcher...They loved money, but these two leaders knew the difference between tyranny and democracy.

The planet is on edge. 3/4 of the people do not have enough to eat.
The gap between the rich and the poor is growing all the time.
We have nothing left to lose.
History is coming to a end.
For the people by the people we establish justice first thing
Even before he was riddled with dementia, Felon47 was too stupid to think up these “policies. He just likes the cruelty.
But Ronnie knew what he was doing. He purposely destroyed our country because he didn’t want to share it with the nonwhites.
Basically — same ideas, different scumbag
My God, America how SAD you have become!
May God help you.
I wonder how long anyone with half a brain in the GOP will put up with this.
I can't imagine that this current administration will manage to keep its electorate happy.
Donate to Ukraine
If the US couldn’t take a divided Vietnam, then Russia sure as fuck can’t take a united Ukraine.
Europe still has your back. #StandWithUkraine
If thar means by force so be it.
Regards the rest of the civilised world.
Trump is an extension of Reagan and the GOP. He is the culmination of their work.
began 11/22/1962, in Dallas.
The problem? They don’t care. They prefer the benefits of supporting the regime now, at the expense of their grand children’s shame.
This madness can only be corrected by kicking these bastards out of power.
That’s the painful truth.
Appropriately, it shames Congress for failing to do good work. Now, they do nothing at all while Trump takes over.
Trump is the natural consequence of our duopoly.
Liz Cheney is Republican, and her husband Dick is a corrupt POS who lied the US into the Iraq war and torture.
Corporate Democrats burn in hell with the establishment Republicans
Thanks Donald.
No way.
He used to be the patron saint of the GOP. Today he’d be a RINO.
MAGA = American fascism
The End.
He doesn’t give anything about anyone besides himself.

This is serious. Studies should be conducted.
