The Contrarian salutes Sen. Elissa Slotkin for her response to Trump’s address to Congress. She is “calm in a crisis, level-headed, pragmatic, and steeped in American values—everything Trump is not. She is a symbol of hope in these dark times.”

There's a coup unfolding as she was heralding U.S. exceptionalism.
What is the threshold whereby the U.S. isn't exceptional anymore ? Goosestepping?
Be specific.
He is breaking the law !nothing csn be done?
Let me put it another way:
What concrete action do you expect Congressional Democrats to take?
etc. was done with decorum and by the rule book is not the resistance we need right now.
Except that was 45 years ago, and Reagan isn't their benchmark anymore.
We have approx 258 million adults in the US. Only 77 million voted for Trump & some of those were "because eggs are expensive" voters, not die-hard MAGAs...
It's not a lost cause, just ineffective messaging.
as if trans kids being openly attacked by half of the US Gov (abandoned by the other) and demanding the right to exist is a “both sides Culture War.”
These fence-sitting mids need to decide whether they believe in America or not, comfort be damned.
I encourage you to actually listen to the interviews, particularly of young ppl, explaining why they left the dem party & went to MAGA.
