May Day, May Day General Strike-5/1/25!
Shut it all down, unions wobble, airlines, manufacturing, retail, trucking, transportation, shipping! tRump, vAnts, johnson must resign.
They were not lied to. But if they need to believe that to understand they fucked up, so be it. They told us we were overreacting. They told us Project 2025 was something we made up. Our media helped gaslight the public.
Lol... she should have prevented it!
The DNC drove the bus onto the train tracks & it broke down, when they could have taken a different route & avoided the train!! Maybe not funding the genocidal maniac Netanyahu as he murdered children & babies & families for 4 years would've been a better route!!
You should probably take it up with the democrats, who were so pathetic that they lost to the convicted rapist felon con artist and his fascist Nazi friends... they are who lost...
You people are blaming the crowd for the loss by your team... the crowd wasn't on the field!!!
You're obviously not paying attention...
I didn't help elect anyone...
I voted for Harris, and she lost...
The 12 million voters that walked away are not to blame either, because they didn't elect democrats to fund genocide, so they stopped supporting democrats, because they funded genocide...
Really? Trump said he would end the Ukraine war on day 1, ONLY criminals would be deported, was Elon and “ DOGE”mentioned?, prices would come DOWN .. HE LIED.
His botched covid response was the root cause for the inflation and high interest rates so these idiots flunked an open book test…all because racism and hate meant more to them than anything else. Argue with your mammy.
His plan to end the war in Ukraine by letting Putin have Ukraine. Anyone with 2 brain cells would know that. Since his supporters have less than 2 and think Zelensky started the war, here we are.
Check the date. It was all there and people told us we were overreacting and again. The media let him get away with pretending like he had nothing to do with it.
Democrats, Republicans, voters, and the media are setting the U.S. up to just elect a smarter authoritarian. Also this echoes lost cause rhetoric. Trump voters weren’t tricked. They decided racism and barbarism were much better than life improvements and they’ll keep doing that.
He told the truth. That's what they wanted.
THIS American thing isn't going to ever work because you can't be honest with the other side.
You can't tell them that they're responsible for their decisions.
That would offend them.
A good proportion of them want retribution because they lost the civil war and their racism just went deeper. Nothing works better for getting followers than validating a deep seated hatred.
Well duh, but their hatred lives on through their descendants. In case you haven't noticed, racism and the confederate flag are still a thing in the South.
Glad to be on the left coast. I have avoided the South for years. Wherever I went, the things that came out of some people's mouths was so vile. It's not perfect here though, especially east of the cascades. OR has a pretty racist past as well.
I doubt his loyal subjects read Project 2025. Not insulting them, but many are undereducated, illiterate, or read at a 6th grade level or lower. What are the chances they picked up Project 2025 and read it all ? What are the chances they even read a summary of it? Uninformed voters = sheep.
Oh I know he did, which I believe was a diversionary tactic. Say you know nothing, knowing your constituents will believe you and probably won’t bother to dig any deeper. As soon as I heard him say that, I decided to read it.
What are the chances any of this changes if their politicians continue to exclude them from a party that best represents their own interests? I get it, it's hard to offer MAGAts a chance to feel ashamed... but I was raised to forgive people, even those who pride themselves in their hate
Slim to none. And I was raised the same way. I know many who voted for this stand in regret and feel duped, and are changing their views, but there are also many applying the sunk cost fallacy who won’t admit that he lied to them because they are too far down the path.
You're right. I often think of my parents - not maga but conservative with traditional values. I hear them espouse the same talking points sometimes and we're able to talk about it, even if there isn't a resolution. It'd be hard to extend that grace to strangers who are so willful in their ignorance
Nope, no more emotionally coddling these dumbasses. They deserve all the shit they're getting. Trump supporters can actually get fucked. No more bipartisanship. For years we've tried to work together only for them to play dirty and spit at us. Nah, fuck em. I hope Trash supporters get the worst.
and how is that to help all the shit the rest of us are getting? feeling smug and angry won't keep anyone out of the gulag, restart lost cancer research, or get meds to tuberculosis patients
Because these dumbfucks will NEVER learn. They're incapable of doing so. They'd rather spit in your face than reach across the aisle. We've tried that one too many times only to be met with spite. Fuck em, no more bipartisanship. Time for Dems to grow a fucking spine and treat Repugnicants the same.
Here’s my question, why vote by party anyway? I don’t. I vote based on what I know of the candidate and their beliefs. This thing about party before country is ridiculous.
Same! I’ve never been a dyed in the wool anything. That’s the sign of an intelligent person, someone who isn’t so rigid in their thinking that they look at all the information to make a decision.
I vote by party because I care about which party holds the majority. The minority party generally can't get bills voted on and can't do investigations.
A great deal of the damage we're seeing could have been prevented by a House Democratic majority.
They listened & they knew who Trump was. This is his 2nd term. His voters are the behind-closed-door racists. Its been disgusting to watch. I'm a blue dot in a red state. I've watched people take their polite masks off. These people will vote for the next racist to come along.
They did not listen bc they did not think. I warned some ppl and explained why they should vote on Kamala. They didn't vote deliberately.
And ruZzian connection and why they are dangerous did not change their position
They repeated peace for Palestine Peace for Ukraine. Ppl deserve it.
Well..
They didn't think he'd do what he's doing with the economy (even though he said he wouod over and over, so they weren't lied to except to themselves), but they still support the racism.
In my humble opinion, I still feel a lot of independents and some moderate republicans are not on board with what’s happening. They wanted something different than Biden/Harris, not thinking it’d be this.
Yeah it is, I'm not letting their racist asses into my party freely so they can corrupt it and twist it into Republicans but without Trump. I don't want them to have any say in what good left wing policy should be and which candidates we run.
That’s a fine message if you are ok with sacrificing our democracy to preserve your self righteous anger. Not sure how that’s any more admirable than sacrificing democracy to own the libs
If they want to vote against Trump, great, but I'm not going to pretend they aren't still racists with destructive ideas and I don't want them to have any say in turning the Dems into another Republican Party.
No, I am not friends with racists and fascists. They do not get to come in and vote in our primaries to influence our party to be like them. They need to reckon with what they believe and change.
Yes, I agree - I re-read your statement and nope, I am not their friend friend. I just want them to turn on trump. And yes - their side needs a reformation because as I saw a German say today on FB, it's the soil where he flourishes that is the real problem.
It's the right thing for a politician to say. And should be the standard message for our politicians.
It won't ever be the message from me. But they're being paid to be stronger, and they need to hold their tongues on stuff sometimes in order to get votes. Not always, obviously.
This is the right approach. I’m cultivating forgiveness towards Trump voters — which is very very hard for me. But it’s the only way we can bring them over and get through this.
It’s more “I am sorry you bought the bullshit.” Because he lied to everyone, it’s just some people did their due diligence or know all he does is lie and didn’t buy it.
Nope, they're just fucking dumb. Trash supporters don't have an inkling of intelligence. Look how willing they were to sink this country because of vibes. Fuck them. I hope every single Trash voter gets utterly fucked over.
Divided ON PURPOSE,
United by Choice!
-Change your mind upon receiving new information.
-Understand you were conned by Don.
-Save US from those who seek to divide US.
-WELCOME TO THE RESISTANCE!
This is absolutely the message. The only thing that should be said is "thank you very much for your presence, and we appreciate your presence and vote in the future."
If they would vote against the human rights of immigrants again, or against the right to choose, or against DEI, or against trans rights, or a plethora of other issues - but just don't like that they are also experiencing consequences right now, then they're not on the team.
Exactly this☝️. WE ALL need to unify around stopping Trump and his minions first. After this, WE ALL need to work together to build stronger guardrails to prevent this from happening ever again. Then, WE ALL work together fix the problems and improve circumstances for ALL of Americans
The flaw in this lies in the wiring of brains. Conservatives are of the Vertical mindset...all about hierarchies and win/lose mentality. They do NOT want to help all Americans thrive bc in their minds they are better than, therefore more deserving than.
Not all conservatives and there are different types of conservatism. The type resistant to inclusion are social conservatives. Cheney and Kinzinger are examples of conservatives that we need to join forces with to fight against the authoritarianism the majority of Americans are opposed to
We need to work together to get these United States, its bankers and its corporations out of the business of genocide. That is the goal. Just protecting the office from marauders doesn’t fix the problem. He is just a manifestation of the disease.
You cannot reason with 'the South will rise again' crowd.
You cannot reason with people who believe Sandy Hook and 9/11 were hoaxes.
You also cannot reason with fragile middle-aged white men who believed they were f***** by society, but in reality were left behind because of their ineptitude.
There are *many* Trump voters who are becoming disillusioned with him at the moment. Now is the time to try to bring them in instead of drive them away.
yeah, trve indeed. very few will learn from that. like in germany after 1945. only participation for many in a growing economy / increasing living standard kept fascism at relatively low level for some decades
I have no forgiveness for trump voters. I believe there are conservatives but no republican party. Too many are mad at an issue but not mad at trump. We need to talk with non voters because maga didn't help in the last election even though we courted them.
This is so important. Corey Booker has said it over and over. It’s not Right vs Left it’s right vs wrong.
If folks on the Right want to join the movement, welcome them. Let’s get together and toss these criminals out. We can argue about policy differences later.
That’s policy differences. Kinsinger appears to be a good man. But I know I don’t agree with him on a whole raft of issues.
Integrity and a shared belief in the core values of our nation should be the first two questions. After that, I look at policy. Kinsinger checks 2/3 boxes; Trump checks none.
He can take a Senate seat in TX. Or the governor's. He's 100x better than what you have. He has a lot of policy positions we don't need replacing a Democrat's.
While all these Repubs and MAGAs are running away or refusing to hold town halls or having their own constituents tased and arrested, Dems like Maxwell Frost are out there facing the people head on, no matter their politics, because Frost and Bernie and AOC etc are Metal AF!
It's like having Stalin as an ally in WWII. He was fine with Hitler from August 1939 until June of 1941
So you're going to have to be prepared to hear a lot of homophobic and transphobic shit about "boys" in girls' bathrooms, and they'll turn on you as soon as the big baddie is gone
Nope, this is what happens when racists vote for a racist. I've watched family, friends & colleagues take the mask off once it was deemed "safe" to take their masks off. They will vote for the next racist politician & there will be more.
That’s the way to do it. Accept them and help them to understand. Find out what they really want their representatives to do and than tell them the democratic agenda that will help them cross over. I know it’s easier to tell someone they are dumb, but we kinda have to avoid that right now.
They can vote to help get rid of Trump, they don’t need ass kissing or forgiveness to do it. They will stab us in the back first chance they get. I will never forgive them.
Exactly. My focus is on getting progressives and leftists who didn’t vote for whatever reason to vote. Fk anyone who voted for Trump. Third time is on purpose. Never forgive never forget
Agree 💯!!! Definitely need to focus on the non voters. Trump supporters are dead to me, so tired of being told we need to baby them into doing the right thing.
Anybody who regrets their decision and understands how much harm Trump does is welcome. I don't think it's wise to push them away. We really are all in this together. The caveat here is that when they're still fighting with people and reveling in others' misery, they get no sympathy.
Well, if they were holding that "mass deportation" sign at the rallies were they really lied to? Most of my family of origin is MAGA and they wanted to hear the hate. They chose him over me and are still choosing that. So for the MAGA that say they are now on our side...not buying it.
And this right here is why I'm no longer interested in voting for candidates over 50. The first Gen Z Congressperson is doing it better than most establishment Dems. This is the way to progress.
good point, now replace “over 50” with “female” or “black” and explain what suddenly made your comment look worse - then go back and read your second sentence and observe whether it uses the word “most” or “all”
I am not interested in voting for candidates over 50. I said nothing about race or gender. Don't put words in my mouth. Pelosi is the 6th oldest member of Congress at 85. She sabotaged AOC'S bid for ranking committee member from a hospital bed in favor of a 70+ yr old man w/throat cancer.
I never said you were the same. But you do seem to have many of the same talking points against the younger generations as people like Pelosi. They are millionaires with the best benefits in the country. It's time for them to retire. 91 years olds don't need to be in Congress, like Grassley.
The geriatric members of Congress are very much a problem and are blocking progress to hols onto power. The only way to stop them is to stop voting for them. And I'm tired of the whining when the younger people don't want to vote for the 'status quo' candidates anymore with good reason.
I understand the sentiment but I agree with Bernie's take more, "multi-generational, multi-racial working class party". IDC what age you are as long as you're not in it for self preservation. No more career politicians looking for an easy pension. If you want to stand with us, stand up for us
I have yet to see a candidate over 50 who isn't in it for self-preservation at this point. And I'm damn sure not going to accept more Pelosi's and Grassleys. I want term limits and have for decades. We must vote for the change that we want to see and reelection of status quo candidates, isn't it.
Term limits are absolutely overdue! I just imagine there have gotta be people 50+ that have been attending the same protests I attend now, who are capable of representing the interest of other generations, and they deserve the same chance despite their age. Hell, I'd probably still vote for Bernie
Yeah, with term limits for sure. I meant I'd be likely to vote for him as president at his ripe old age. I've heard he's done great with his lengthy time in Vermont tho! ☺️
I first heard Rep. Frost talk when I was up late watching the news about hurricane Milton hitting FL. I am West coast but have relative in S.Carolina. I was like, hey, who is this guy? He spoke so well about the stupidity of trump saying he would get rid of NOAA.
yeah, my response to MAGA is we were all lied to but YOU believed him and I did not, and in that, you revealed yourself as having bad judgment at best, untrustworthy at worst.
Pursuing these people has NEVER worked! The Dems keep losing. Every cycle the party placed the mod and right wing vote as the only one that mattered, we got hammered! Try inspiring folks who stayed home and disaffected Dem voters. There are FAR more votes in that bucket.
Well, just be ready to rinse and repeat. They are not potential allies. I don’t know how many times Lucy has to swipe that football before you lot get that. 🤷🏾♀️
i posted this a month ago, but seems like a good time to share it again. [i'm a vehement anti-trumper & always have been. i admit, i've mercilessly mocked maga voters for years. otoh, i also barely survived a malignant narcissist.]
The entire administration that had the theory that they could fix America's problems bye cutting cost to government. Never understood that they were running a government and not a business. A government is ran by the people. For the people a business is ran.
Buy the business for-profit. Problem.
A lot of people who voted for him were not lied to. They were not stupid. They knew what they were doing.
But it's okay to change. We need to let people know that you don't have to keep doing wrong and dig that hole deeper and get combative. We don't want to punish. We want you to do better.

You helped elect Netanyahu’s preferred candidate. Good job.

That would offend them.
You can't say that to white ppl
As fun as it would feel to be smug, we need people who’ve voted for Trump and Republicans to be open to voting Democratic.
More grace. Less scorn.
Easier said than done. But we need to win.
A great deal of the damage we're seeing could have been prevented by a House Democratic majority.
Help the former cult members to see the ones who truly deceived them!
Share the joy of putting the righteous indignation on the ones who actually deserve it!
They've been duped by truly evil people with unlimited resources (and power in rural areas).

I do, I like him, he is a young rising star Dem.
It won't ever be the message from me. But they're being paid to be stronger, and they need to hold their tongues on stuff sometimes in order to get votes. Not always, obviously.
I would never buy into this man! He is just evil and stupid!

You also cannot reason with fragile middle-aged white men who believed they were f***** by society, but in reality were left behind because of their ineptitude.
The problem is not that they were lied to. The problem is that their selfishness and lack of compassion pulled them towards a lying SOB.
If folks on the Right want to join the movement, welcome them. Let’s get together and toss these criminals out. We can argue about policy differences later.
I die a little inside every time I see a "Democrat" say Adam Kinzinger should run for VP/IL Senator or whatnot.
Integrity and a shared belief in the core values of our nation should be the first two questions. After that, I look at policy. Kinsinger checks 2/3 boxes; Trump checks none.
Democrats and Blue Independents have to do the same thing internally as well. There is an existential threat. Deal with it first.
There is only one important litmus test in this fight. Has the politician done everything he or she could to stop this coup?
So you're going to have to be prepared to hear a lot of homophobic and transphobic shit about "boys" in girls' bathrooms, and they'll turn on you as soon as the big baddie is gone
