I, like many of you, have been contemplating our predicament since election night.
We are in a losing war for our democracy and I'm not sure we collectively know who our true adversary is.
It's not the voting blocks...white women, Latinos, Gen X. It's not MAGA. It's not even Trump.

Many people have told me in person they read & agree with my
Woke-ish posts but they say they are afraid to post a "like".
WTF?
This is the crap people believe.
•Disinformation refers to false information that is intended to manipulate, cause damage, or guide people, organizations, and countries in the wrong direction.
•Malinformation stems from the truth but is often exaggerated in a way that misleads and causes potential harm.
It's the stealthy racist/misogynist billionaires like Peter Thiel who really scare me. Hell, he dropped $10M to buy JD Vance his senatorship, and tried with Masters, too, but consistently flies under the radar...
All the Yarvin fanboys should be watched.
It's Satan.
It's every dark piece of shit person on the planet that won't let us be.
Every man that ever wanted power over someone else.
We're chimpanzees. We beat our females, we go to war with neighbors, we fight all the time.
Be a Bonobo, not a Chimpanzee
To hell with that.
I’m trying to decide whether to move to a blue state or out of the country.
Relative to the country as a whole, we're _very_ progressive.
That leaves 48% of us out here who aren't fucking assholes.
(Okay, a lot of us ARE fucking assholes. But we didn't vote for Trump.)
It's only 52% of white women who voted fault.
And 60% of white men who voted.
In total, 55% of white people who voted are at fault.
Then there are ALL the people who didn't vote.
So, probably more like, what, 75% of all white people in America are to blame for this? Maybe more?
Now, the ones who voted by mail were never asked (and those votes are usually more liberal- think of the red mirage phenomenon).
Do they ask early voters?
Just like VISA, I'm EVERYWHERE you wanna be.
So do I. 🤓

I would do it all over again in a heartbeat
I would like to understand the Truth about this election, not fall for conspiracy theories or a blame-fest. We need to know what to do better in the future, starting with the 2026 midterms
I have to agree the GOP is all about ignorance, hate, racism, greed, intolerance.
People don’t seem to care about the integrity of political candidates. Look at Trump’s cabinet picks disgraceful. God help us all 🙏

The LAST ELECTION!!
We know he 100% cheated at this election too!
Why are Americans and Democrats surrendering our democracy to a dictatorship without a fight?
Duh. You think they're counting votes 2 weeks after the election legitimately? Lol
It's the Oligarchs, for sure.
Voters in 7 swing states want Democrats at state level but not federal level?
I don’t buy it.
What I do buy is a man who cheated at last election and could go to prison needs to win White House and needs control of US house & senate.
Very disappointed that Cruz won another term.
It was a perfect storm. The Iowa poll, that commercial about what happens in the voting booth, stays in the booth. The moment Joe F'n Rogan endorsed "him", I had a sick feeling come over me. Men went to the polls in droves.
We can't rely on our gov.
It's up to us to unite
It's our only hope
Everyone

Somehow, the petition is being buried, or obfuscated. Maybe even manipulated!?
How is it that every Democrat (voted in) isnt pushing for this?
It should be our collective pinned link EVERYONE
Think about those billionaires in Squid Game (one of them seemed modeled after EM). We will be their entertainment.
Now they're out in the open...for a variety of reasons.
Except Mars. For that even his ample resources fall short. To go to Mars he needs a government and its taxpayers.
Through discovery in civil cases, there’s LEGAL PROOF that Trump operatives have copies of the software that runs elections in 96% of Arizona, 100% of Georgia, 100% of Nevada, 68% of Michigan, 89% of Pennsylvania, 92% of North Carolina, and 97% of Wisconsin.
Now what?
Stable, warless society creates more and more imbalance of wealth until the bubble bursts into war and/or revolution.
Rinse and repeat.
More like “Grandiose Omnipresent Punks”.
Need to refocus and rebuild
Over the last three-plus decades, America’s state supreme courts have become less — not more — reflective of the nation’s racial and ethnic makeup.

Put me in the starter pack.
Yall suck at this.
It is a lie.
Terrific post!
Took me back a few decades - had not thought too much about ‘trickle down’ nor ‘just say no to drugs’ lately.
I love your last line.
You do not even throw an adjective in there…
Powerful truth & word economy.
Thank you!

SCOTUS ran interference for trump.
tis wild how a few corrupt greedy folkers can leverage their positions of powers to force illegal shit 💩 on the masses.
our public servants need to enforce our 14th Amendment Section 3 & our Logan Act now. ❤️🔥💞❤️🔥
A destabilised EU was exactly what he needed to invade 🇺🇦 before 2015 the EU wouldn’t start a conversation in the pub. Ever since we have had opportunists using divisive tactics, creating issues then promising to
Fortunately in this case, there are no simple answers to complex issues and things got so bad and they had nowhere to hide. Think back to 2012 we held the olympics and 🇬🇧 was riding a wave. How we fell
We have 5 years.
OPIC is the only adversary.
Not sure what that means?
Unfortunately, you will have to figure it out yourself because the right-wing Oligarch Propaganda Industrial Complex will never acknowledge that it merits your attention.
I think it's warranted, and since our tax dollars paid for it, we deserve to see it before he has a chance to bury, or delete it.
DO IT!!!!!
How can it be done realistically??
The power of the worldwide web threatened their influence as citizens created community and shared truth. They had to emerge and attack directly and publicly.
So far, our response has been deeper divisions which benefits the oligarchs.
The future of hope lies in unity.
United we stand.
A Republic, if you can keep it.

follow the money.
The issue is why did the Democrats went so far to the left that they started legitimizing changing sexes - that any kid could have their sec changed based on how they felt.
we could've have the chance twice to have a woman president who both won the popular vote, other countries elect their leader by the popular vote.
why can America do the same the 💩🍊 wont electorate but lost popular vote
Remember the guy who stole from people by promoting it
Also Trump the grifter is also selling worthless coins & a bunch of other junk
This is the ethics committee call and leave a message to release the report on Matt gaetz
perhaps google voice - it even auto translates & there are a few quality open source sip’s to set up telecommunique trunks …
