It's all being done by Executive Order. Nothing goes to Congress.

Project 2025 was available to read, study and create blockades before trump was sworn in. He told us what his agenda was. All I heard from the media was assumptions of how to respond if this or that happened, or what can be done. Our government should have contingencies for their contingencies

It’s pretty funny that this was his third insurrection -and nobody expected him to steal the election?

aproclivity4vision.bsky.social•1 day ago

Americans are largely oblivious/naive, but that's by design. How ever you look at our politics, it's success is based on psychology. Willing compliance through propaganda. Seeing/hearing is believing and trump got millions to believe, and doubt on both sides.

susanlois.bsky.social•1 day ago

This has to do with human nature not being American. privilege and complacency are always the downfall of society. This movement is targeting every democracy, and has already taken over Russia, China, and Iran.

aproclivity4vision.bsky.social•1 day ago

This is true.

A rouge president should be able to be clamped down on fairly quickly, and quietly to keep from publicly showing the president has unchecked power, and our last line of defense is the moral compass of federal judges, and supreme court justices.

NOTHING that Cheeto & d GOP r doing should surprise ANYONE! Cheeto is a liar,a cheat & a criminal, but 2 many ppl don't take him seriously enough.

susanlois.bsky.social•1 day ago

We were invaded on the Internet in 2014 (Russian IRA) and that’s why Trump was elected in 2016 -and it’s been a slow coup ever since, only seating Biden as a Patsy, pretending as if they weren’t going to lie, cheat, and steal power, by hacking elections. No pushback? We were defeated in 2016!

"Control the mob, control the senate," (in this case the GOP)! When people fear for their lives and family, it removes country first from their lexicon!

aproclivity4vision.bsky.social•1 day ago

That's exactly my point. Why arent there fail safes? Espionage isnt new to us. we know about manipulation of other countries politics. All these intelligence agencies w/billion dollar budgets and we allow russia to manipulate our politics via social media? I guess I give our govt too much credit

The Republicans are on an unsustainable path and they will be stopped. It’s only a matter of when. 75 million people died in World War II.

aproclivity4vision.bsky.social•1 day ago

So will it take world war 3 to stop Republicans?

susanlois.bsky.social•1 day ago

So far I’ve been able to come up with two logical conclusions. The first is that they are waiting to bust a global crime ring for election fraud, and other crimes. The second is that we already lost World War III but nobody has told us yet.

Dems failed across the board its Democrat Candidates need to overcome this, it's their responsibility! Find a new way to communicate! Go dark, whatever they need to do to win! Fight fire with fire! Mr. Nice guy doesn't work anymore! Losing is not an option!

Rouge and Rogue!

greentree16.bsky.social•1 day ago

I completely agree with you, but can't help mentioning the Freudian slip you made there with your misspelling of rogue. 😀😉
Sorry, I couldn't resist.

mayoversustheworld.bsky.social•1 day ago

The courts have no enforcement mechanism, and Trump knows this. He’s on his way to becoming the first dictator of the USA. Garland slow-walked the nation into this disaster. Biden watched it happen while being spoon fed his pudding and did nothing.

6umby.bsky.social•1 day ago

He isn’t a rouge President. He’s an orange one. And also a rogue President.

Unfortunately there’s no one to carry out SCOTUS rulings. Even if congress impeached him who would remove him? The entire federal police force is now loyalists

All 3 branches of government plus 1 is in the hands of the GOP. You can’t blame Dems at this point. It’s not like they didn’t try very hard to fight against the disinformation created by Elon Musk to get Trump that win. I can never forget the Trans video some MAGA person shoved in my face on X.

gymnogenestarwind.bsky.social•1 day ago

they didn’t try nearly hard enough to fight against the actual harm being done by fascist right wingers and I can absolutely blame them because if they allowed this to happen.

Republicans are traitors to the people but Democrats opened the doors for them.

They need to be held accountable 🤷‍♂️

jonasnewscha16.bsky.social•1 day ago

So, to get this straight, you're saying that you blame the Dems for why Trump won the election in the first place? If so, do you realize that you are saying that they are the ones responsible for why our democracy died and why we're now dealing with fascism?

gymnogenestarwind.bsky.social•1 day ago

I mean obviously the republicans are the ones that did it

but the democrats were sending emails when roe v wade was getting canned

so uh… yeah.

they allowed this to happen.

sybilg.bsky.social•1 day ago

Seriously? You were not paying attention. Sorry. I know Harris could have done less of the abortion messaging but there was so much disinformation on the right, that unless they shut down the disinformation from X which filtered into TV stations and homes, there was nothing that the Dems could do

gymnogenestarwind.bsky.social•1 day ago

not for nothing but the abortion messaging was something she did right

gymnogenestarwind.bsky.social•1 day ago

the disinformation was never a battle they were gonna win.

they could have led with policy and not schlobbed Israel’s knob so hard.

but instead they wanted to court republicans so their bosses wouldn’t be mad.

🤷‍♂️ they fucked us because they’re cowards

sybilg.bsky.social•1 day ago

Based on how that trans video looked, it seemed like Russian Propaganda. Someone needs to find its origin….Trump used that same video in the last days of his campaign.

jlventura.bsky.social•1 day ago

Oh we know where he got it from, his buddy Putin! I've said it all along Putin and Musk bought this election just like they bought trump!

tomjoadghost.bsky.social•1 day ago

The Dems did everything in their power to lose this election. Looking for foreign boogeyman to blame for our current, bipartisan slide into fascism is fucking crazy. Stop doing this. The DNC is complicit in everything that is happening right now.

bookishvessal.bsky.social•1 day ago

This would be true if it were just a rogue president, but it isn't. A whole party has decided to abdicate their responsibilities. If just 4 GOP Senators would grow a spine, it would be helpful. But it's not going to happen.

garethbowles.bsky.social•1 day ago

Trump est orange, pas rouge

bronwynskye.bsky.social•1 day ago

I don’t think they have 1 moral compass to share!

We the people are the last defense!

musings01.bsky.social•1 day ago

Neither Media creates the laws, neither Dems had control of house to create them when 2025 was getting drafted. People forget about Kevin McCarthy, Joe Manchin, Sinema had tied Dems from getting anything good get done (other than standard things Infra bill, which will be now in shambles with doge).

reneepatrice.bsky.social•1 day ago

So you wanted them to spend their energy doing that instead of fighting to win the election? Ok, good to know...

And I'm certain that if they had stopped campaigning to prepare what to do IF they lost, you lot wouldn't have been shouting "They're planning to LOSE!" Right?

noblenaga.bsky.social•1 day ago

"Our government should have contingencies for their contingencies" describe the ones you have envisioned.

Surely you are not just widely gesturing about actions that should have been taken while having none in mind?

burtongirl.bsky.social•1 day ago

Agreed and well stated!

thinkermb.bsky.social•1 day ago

The GOP is limited on what can get passed without Dems’ support. Most things require ⅔ vote. The Dems should vote no on everything unless it truly helps the average American. I think they should vote no on the debt ceiling.

rachyav.bsky.social•1 day ago

That is actually not the case. Some things require a 2/3 majority to pass, like amending the USA Constitution or to override a Presidential veto, but most things only require a simple majority.

rachyav.bsky.social•1 day ago

The only real way the Dems have any power in the near future is when it comes time to pass the next budget, and that's only because the Rs are so divided themselves on spending issues.

reneepatrice.bsky.social•1 day ago

Most Dems have been voting no. If that's not true of your rep, be on their phone sheet daily. Contact them in writing by mail or via their website. Protest their home office when they are on break. Demand a Town Hall from them.

thinkermb.bsky.social•1 day ago

Contact your congressperson and senators to oppose all GOP legislative initiatives that don’t improve the lives of average Americans.

They can’t vote for tax relief for billionaires!
