And it should have been _crystal_ clear when Trump publicly denied any involvement in Project 2025 during his presidential campaign, despite his close alliances with several individuals associated with Project 2025 who were also involved in his campaign.
Yeah, we’ve been saying this since 2016 and you said we weren’t centering working class white men enough (even after we literally lost rights to our own bodies and are now dying in parking lots)… So what are you gonna do about it?
Yes. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
They attempted to normalize it for all of us and it worked on the maga white women that don’t believe it will happen to them, while it’s happening to them 🙄🤦🏼♀️
He told us. Unfortunately, too many people didn’t believe it. They called it “bluster” without even realizing that the only reason it didn’t happen the first time was because people in charge stopped it.
The first year or two will suck bad, then people will remember how much of a collosal fuck up the party that doesnt even believe in gov't is at running it.
It took a certain German only 53 days to end democracy 92 years ago this month. How long will it take Donald and his digital authoritarian pals plus assorted henchmen to do it here?
Take over? Our government is already taken over.
A fact to ponder...
On 1/6/21 there was a pipe bomb assassination attempt of our VP-Elect at DNC National Headquarters.
No one has been brought to justice.
This attack on our Democracy is in the memory hole.
A taken over govt allowed this.
…. And I have to ask, “ where’s the prosecutor “…. I love Harris.. but, why is she waiting in the wings and not on the steps of the Capitol prosecuting Trumps policies and appointments now! Why isn’t she leading the fight now! She has the bully pulpit and these are unprecedented times..
We have no leader. It's unfortunate because, logically, she should be. Unless the donor class has other plans? I hope someone who is unstoppable and amazing, someone who can't be bought, rises from the working class.
I am Gen X history major and I have a different theory. We are still a young country and we are now having our flirt with fascism. Hopefully , we will not have the hell Europe endured, but it will not be pretty. I think his power will wane because he is a lame duck. Do not fly the white flag, yet!
Trump 2.0 is far more powerful than the original version because he has surrounded himself with far more evil people. I doubt there will be another real election in the USA for many years
I think the word is incompetent. I am worried about the damage that will be done. I also think the Republicans want him finally gone. They want the hold, he has over them, gone. The even admitted today , that if it was a secret ballot , none of his picks would be approved. It is pathetic.
stop thinking the few in leadership positions are going to save us. that is the problem with keyboard resisters. look to S. Korea and other countries resisting....it is not up to the few anymore.
Oh I don't need them to try and save us but I recall a press conference that Obama was part of in late 2016 early 2017 where he said "I think we're going to be okay" and it had a profound impact on several people I know of as well as me. It wasn't okay by a long shot but the words gave comfort.
Psst...this time I think we're not going to be okay. We don't need words of comfort we need Americans (and not rely on elected politicians) to wake the f up and grow some balls.
Because the DNC is basically beholden to the suburban class of $100k+ earners who are going to be fine regardless of what Trump does. They've fully embraced their role as Republican Lite.
It's the poor, the elderly & the disabled who are going to eat the gun butts. 😞 There's a couple of concentration camps trump had built last time, he was president, waiting for us in the Nevada desert. "The cattle trucks lie in wait, for the next time." They don't want "ordinary people" to survive.
DNC Chair is still being decided, my local Chair and Vice Chair(s) were elected only yesterday. I imagine the DNC will hit the ground running, and soon!
The DNC is literally the people who stand up for democracy. Send lawyers to fight laws that restrict voter rights and fight bad laws in courts. Did you watch the Hegseth hearing? Dem Senators where pushing endlessly! They are fighting and will keep fighting. Open your eyes friend and get involved!
This hegseth candidacy is built to create separation between rank and file soldiers and officers. To hijack the loyalty of the enlisted for when 2028 comes around.
It's done. That's what a "fait accompli" is. Ask the French.
They invented the Guillotine for this very reason. And Biden is letting him. That's a fact.
It amazes me when I see Americans say "we only have to endure 4 years of this" as if thinking there's a normal election cycle in the future.
This election may well be the last one, it would be if the GOP and the 🍊🤡have their way.
Uh….duh. He’s been saying he’s going to do that since he lost to Biden. That’s why his win was so horrific. He told us what he was going to do, and still people voted for him or chose not to vote for 🐂💩 reasons. We did this to ourselves and by WE i mean democrats.
The H1B issue is a unique issue in its potential to divide trump’s base. I believe the best hope for this country is progressive ideologues and MAGA ideologues realizing they have a common populist cause against the oligarchs… which is strange since I consider myself a centrist.
Just as it's clear that his threats to primary hold-outs is meaningless if we no longer have a democracy. Republicans can still correct course if they have any morals at all.
I know that’s their plan, but I can’t help but wonder whether or not the actual implementation is going to rollout as planned. We are talking about some of the most Byzantine structures in our government here with entrenched career people.
I am so there with you about the treats we're facing. So why is it I'm still getting comments like, "Oh, stop the doom and gloom"? What are they not seeing? Or they just hoping they'll never have to see it...?

My gut, nay, my body knew this but my brain remained hopeful nonetheless.

It’s already been proven in his first tenure in the White House that he’s basically impotent.
He has shown no matter how he blusters he can’t actually accomplish anything!

Put the word 'DICK'
back into 'DICK-TATOR' 😉
And they don't say for who.
Trump is going to treat us all,
the way prigressives do.
And we must start now. . .

I mean that *hope alone* is not a viable strategy.
