We were supposed to protect us.

This is a republic. Paternalism is what Trump offers.

We failed.

It's not just everyone - it's everything

Total political - economic - media institutional failure

Goes beyond any one person or set of people. Doesn't absolve them, but we need to accept that our institutions need replacing not fixing

Well stated.

Fact: "Failed miserabley" A criminal is taking contol based on the whims of a minority of ignorant Americans (>25%). Know the difference, not stupid, but ignorant. Uninformed, and fed mis-/disinformation. Unaware of what Presidents can and can't do (hint: they don't control grocerie prices).

We were supposed to protect ourselves from this.

The felonious, criminal, Constitutionally disqualified, Russian asset stole the 2024 election with the help of Musk & Putin (whom he had 7 secret calls with b4 the election) to stay out of prison after failing to steal the 2020 with fake electors and trying to find 11K+ GA votes.
He’s illegitimate.

What should be a day of joy and reassurance is now a day of dismay in anticipation of the ruthless dismantling of the pillars of a free society. But tomorrow is another day and we must fight to restore what we had.

I love how Teen Vogue and Rolling Stone have somehow maintained their integrity but NPR just gave Trump credit for the Gaza Ceasefire.

It's alarming how many articles I'm seeing about this NOW! Every American citizen with more than five brain cells has been screaming this for years! Liberal media ignored it and the Dems ignored it for the sake of decorum... and here we are.

The failures have been epic from SCOTUS setting the stage with Citizens United, to the GOP Senate stealing 2 seats, to a fully compromised right wing US media, who repeated a zillion lies & gave them credibility from elections, & to 1/6. And even Dems, who believe u can teach “fair play” to the GOP!

The CIA let an enemy of the country be it POTUS twice.

stevenpmillies.com•61 days ago

The CIA should not be in the business of stopping elected people from holding office.

sachie2018.bsky.social•61 days ago

They should be in the business of stopping foreign adversaries to take power. You still don't get do you. Russia has won the cold war.

stevenpmillies.com•61 days ago

*I* said that months ago about the Cold War. I'd share it over if I still had my tweets.

But having the CIA act like Putin's FSB doesn't achieve a different result.

sachie2018.bsky.social•61 days ago

Whatever you want to call it. It didn't protect the US. They failed their mission. They could have leaked some real damaging thing on Trump but silence. The white boys club stood by and let US burn.

You're blaming the CIA for actions of the American people, for whom the CIA works.

You're asking for black ops paternalism.

No thanks.

ruffhouse.bsky.social•61 days ago

Whose job was it to protect us from the democratic wishes of the stupid American citizenry?

fox-e-laurence.bsky.social•61 days ago

Provably the people who cut back on education, health care, and housing and then dialled the propaganda up to 11.
