One man just wiped out $10 trillion in wealth, is destroying centuries-old legal protections, and seems determined to unravel humanity’s greatest public health achievement. In 3 months.
I don’t know how we get out of this. But if we do, one person can never have that kind of power again.

Do better America.
You have the same power.
Unless they've retconned your origin story.
-limited executive power is always the right answer
-scotus needs immediate retroactive term limits
-campaign finance needs strict limits.A federal fund, no pacs/superpacs/think tanks or foundations
-congress needs term limits and a gre score
The only peaceful way to stop this is for someone to step up and allow for an emergency nationwide vote to replace tRump and those enabling him.

Fact Check: The oligarchs moved everything overseas for cheap labor. They did this to the US.
In 1995 I was seconded to a semiconductor factory in Phoenix.
It’s long been demolished.

This is capitalism it is designed to function this way
We can also call it the start of Civil War pt. 2.
Because ineffective or unused restraints are not restraints at all.
Sure, the restraints exist on paper and in theory, but in practice right now we are quickly heading towards having an uncontrolled King exercising unlimited power.
I just called Johnson Trump's Michael Prokes.
You wont even tell me where covid came from.
The ENTIRE REPUBLICAN PARTY IS TO BLAME INCLUDING MUSK AND RUSSIA!!

Until that happens, we’re fucked. If people want change, they need to stop obsessing about Federal races and vote in their state races, too.

We must continue to take to the streets in increasing numbers. The GOP will see they are doomed in the 2026 unless they capitulate to we, the people
Our fury gives the Dems in Congress support to fight for us.
It’s up to us. Sign up

The reinforcements have to be lateral.
The tariffs were passed BEFORE the protests on Saturday
not in spite of them
That's the only takeaway in this.
Shame on the people who voted for him. Shame on the people who didn’t vote. Shame on MAGA. They are all traitors, as far as I’m concerned.
You could never have convinced me 15 yrs ago that Americans would ever elect someone like this. It will always be shocking to me.
much so ‘JA!’’
But I think we can find many other ways to limit power and punish corruption.
The spy agencies allowed this as well. They just let the snake slide on in. There is no way he should have security clearance
In Iceland, presidential candidates must have a clean criminal record. I don't understand why all countries don't have this safety net. Granted, the president of Iceland doesn't have much power, but still. Maybe Americans will reconsider the role of their president after all this...
You have a severe housing crisis but you're politicians who are almost all landlords do this while social housing has a 10+ year waitlist.
Housing has 3-6 months wait and median wait that’s not priority is 16 months.
why doesn’t he raise taxes on the wealthy to 73% - the tax rate before Ronald Reagan’s famous failure of trickle down economics - when he lowered taxes from 73% to 28% on the top income tax bracket
1. Mitch McConnell
2. John Roberts
3. Merrick Garland
4. Robert Mueller
He's being *allowed* to have that amount of power.
This isn't a king or dictator with absolute power. This is a conspiracy of the entire government.
Almost everything that Trump has done he doesn't have the authority to do. Congress could stop any of them at any time, and are actively choosing not to do so...

DO SOMETHING!
They screwed up and it killed millions.
They have conceded they no longer know (and don't want to know).
I use bleach on my bathroom floor.
That's right wing nutter shit.
Go on tell us more about this. 😉
That there is a level 4 virology lab specialising in coronaviruses a few kilometres away is very interesting.
My issue is why were they so against the lab leak hypothesis. That is highly suspicious.
All these viruses are airborne.
They're STILL pretending that they aren't airborne

It’s time for Trump to be ousted.
People we elected to represent us need to ensure that no one ever again has unchecked power to dismantle what took generations to build.

Why is Congress not doing MORE to stop this demented sociopath???
💙🇺🇸💪🏼🏴☠️
That one person better be out of this country forever after this.
I mean 60 something percent is laughable turnout and if people can't get arsed to stop nazis from getting power, why think they wouldn't support him if they voted?
I get it. People who didn't vote are a big part of the problem, but I am not going to assume they are in support of this. There are a ton of different mindsets of the people who didn't vote. I do certainly hold them as culpable, however.
They were replaced, *unconstitutionally*, by the Constitution, which said that it went into effect when 9 states agreed. Somehow people accepted that.
So there's precedent for a replacement.
Never again.
And I have been saying this for years. People would rather have blinders on than consider changing course.
they don’t have blinders on
they want to see the vulnerable groups burn
they have the popcorn ready
the bad guys want to see people suffer
Wolverines!
I had ignorant parents who purposely shunned new information that didn't fit their narrative and proudly swore off any form of education. I know ignorance first hand. It's maddening.
The left has turned into Stalinists Vs Trotskyists.
I'm serious. They want to be Robespierre.
It’s. Not. Just. One. Man.
Our checks and balances failed because the republicans are supporting the executive branch in its desire to tear down everything we have built in 240 years!
That class is the one who shouldn't have any power again.
2. Inheritance tax.
3. Progressive taxes.
Unfortunately some of the governors are just as awful (TX, FL)
To the Ammendmentorium!
1. The ERA, already
2. Protect reproductive rights
3. Strict campaign finance rules; get rid of Citizens United
4. Close the loophole in the 22nd that they’re going to try to use to get a third 🤢 term 🤮
5. An amendment declaring trump a loser forever
7. Clear and fair immigration and naturalization rules
4+. Strict term limits for ALL elected and appointed government offices.
If this so-called resistance movement is simping for the pre-authorized ruling class, then it's cooked. ☠️
