Wish I could travel back two decades in time to tell myself that the guy who was then head of the Republican National Committee is now doing more to fight back against a Republican president than most Democrats.

And they don't know what Dems are actually doing. Also surprising no one.
Steele still believes in Democracy and the Rule of Law. The only thing we agree on is that Trump and Musk need to be stopped.
I'll take it.
I guess the only difference is between those who truly believed these principles & those who just chanted slogans.
The old school Republican Party of the “progressive” Teddy Rosevelt, and the race barrier braking Dwight D. Eisenhower is no more.
I do still picture the Muppet any time I see or hear him though.
🤣
He, Nicole Wallace, Rick Wilson and the rest undermined faith in government every chance they had.
Roe? They fucking planned on it getting struck down through packing the court.
They only dislike Trump's boorish behavior while carrying out the plan.
Fuck them all.
Then again, you'd think America would be too!
Despite my political disagreements with him, Steele has always showed integrity.
But how much power do they have? Still, speaking out is part of doing. Now it's up to us
Crazytown.
Jerk.
He helped get us here.
Now he gets paid for this opinion.
But Steele is superb. 🥰
The Weekend is one of the best shows going ✊🇺🇸✊

Democrats are not engaging in any way that encourages the full court effort from the public.
It's a "Thoughts and Prayers" approach that just destroys any motivation or hope for a push-back.
dude cares more about egg prices and inflation then elon selling off our countries private information to any random chuckle fuck that'll make him into a trillionaire
Then I saw him on TV and see why - something didn’t seem white to them about him.
It's time for you to retire because you've burned your credibility.
This isn't gratuitous, it's a reminder that the party is currently "Thoughts and Prayers-ing" it's way through a Constitutional crisis.
We don't need any more think pieces on whether now is the time to stop talking about Transgender people.
We need fighters.
Flood the media with press conferences from the Capital, forcing legacy and new media to cover competing narrative. Boycott events
Be uncompromising.
Be uncooperative.
Be uplifting to marginalized people and unwavering in their defense.
Be loud.
But what do I know, I don't work in Congress.
Jfc, man.

Steele, Bristol, Cheney... They are just being themselves.
How many times have you heard say anything close to as historically inaccurate BS from the Dems?
Franken was kicked from office over a photo. GOP elected a felon POTUS
As in, they actually understand that it IS a fight.
If enough breaks, maybe a few wake up and we move, if not too late.
Obama had like 60% approval for his entire first year in office
Did that stop Republicans from attacking them non stop??? Of course not
Woo-wee, those guys swear like sailors. Don’t get them started on Chuck Schumer.
Meanwhile, my Democratic Governor is still in the early bromance stage with RFK. Saints preserve us!
I mean, I'm glad Steele and others are speaking out. Really am. But to this point, I'd have to agree. It may not be great, but Republicans did more to gum up the works when they had no control.
It's time to meet the moment.
This is a terrible take, Kevin.
What are YOU doing to fight back?
They want votes and money but don’t want to do any hard work to earn them.
What more do you want
Shows you what a sh*tty candidate Romney was.
doing better than these folks should not be a high bar to clear
Liberating. Who knew political party affiliation was for my convenience and wasn't some kind of tribal blood oath?
But also I do not take any comfort or encouragement from them either. None of them are at all representative of his current base of supporters or current GOP office-holders or staff.
No meaningful dissension is forthcoming from the right.
How are you not embarrassed by your cowardice?
Your posts seem to get more and more ridiculous. He was a ridiculous pick for RNC, was totally used by them and took the bait. Now you take the bait.
Trump has broken many brains.
I had him muted over on the other place and now that I have my custom feed set up I never see his content.
And he's talking about it as a clear and present danger to our lives now, suggesting actions.
So far, I've yet to see him once call for thoughts and or prayers.
But that doesn't change the fact that even his limited rhetoric is more forceful than that of his ostensible opposition.
We need Jeffries to sound like that. We need more AOC.
Hakeem Jeffries needs to double this energy or let someone else take over.
