I'm really to the point of just being pissed off because I see us losing in 2026 because some people are just too fucking stupid to know that biting off the nose to spite the face is terrible fucking strategy.

Not sure what (if any) type of event would bring Americans together as one voice. SMH.
My favourite Malcolm Tucker quote from ‘The Thick Of It’ (British political comedy which spawned ‘Veep’) is “If you can’t ‘man up’, then could you at least ‘lady down’ a bit”
Sadly that’s a tad misogynistic for widespread use with audiences unaware of the series, & the vile but brilliant character.
If those people in office, now, don't make some major moves that aren't complicit, they won't need to worry about another election, dude. This is not business as usual - that's why people as so pissed off at Democrats for acting as if it is. Everybody has a right to their opinion. Messaging sucks.
Well if you bite off someone else's nose to spite their face it might be ok....listen I'll complain and scream and moan for years because my disability and benefits have gotten worse for five straight years. In the end I will still know who the villains actually are. Promise.
I like the optimism that they're going to allow us to have a vote in 2026.
If he keeps going like this, we're going to be headed into martial law territory in 3... 2... 1...
I fear that’s the point of these openly egregious oversteps, especially since they’re referring to uneventful, peaceful protests as violence already. Once they have enough traction, they’ll declare martial law. I give it a few months, at best.
The calculus should be clear.
* Have an active and outspoken candidate? Fote for them.
* Do not have such candidate? Primary push the most active.
* Primary lost / no primaries in your district? Still vote for the disappointing person so that those active and outspoken ones have votes behind them.
In two years all elections will be federally mandated as paper only. Those are easier to rig, and have plenty of Bush/Gore ‘hanging chad’ possibilities if they want a less blatant approach. Musk won’t risk nobbling the swing states during the transmission phase via skylink again.
I would THINK the gutting of our govt would do it. But, at this point, I truly feel that nothing will. Just like when I thought FOTUS mimicking a disabled person right on tv would stop his shit. Nope. Same with his shit remark about reporters with accents. Nope.
Nothing will stop him.
NOTHING
I’m still hearing impassioned rants (normally backed up by data sources from Grok - not even kidding) from MAGAts about how awesome all this is, parroting Fox et al’s faux glee at what is clearly a flaming trash fire in a dumpster that has been wheeled onto the tracks ahead of the 10:45 from Duluth.
This is how it's unfolding. The "shock and awe" flood-the-zone moves have had the desired effect, to paralyze the senate and most of the public. MAGA thinks anything cheeto or Elmo does is worth a standing ovation. It's too late, this will take 1 or more generations to ever approach normal again.
“You can’t fix stupid, but you can do what the Italians did and empty a mag from a MAS-38 into it before being hung from the canopy of a gas station for people to pelt with rotten fruit”.
I guess expecting representation for 90% of the American people is too much to ask, eh?
If they do not come off the corporate teat, they will lose. Luigi should have proven that to them, but their pocketbooks are determining their politics.
For starters, I suggest the BARGE into the Treasury and other Depts and demand to see what is happening (bear witness) at least! Confront these children fucking with the systems. Get arrested if they must.
Also play hard against Musk and Tesla, organize a national boycott of Tesla, can the mess with his funding? Republicans seem so good at finding obsure strategies to obstruct...
I know this sounds way over the top (well not compared to Jan 6) but break down the doors.....they more than I, must know their right to access to this departments.
Pissed off is better than being pissed on. Change your vision think outside the box. All these damn protests going on need to be much more colorful. “Glitter”every damn Republican thing in government. It’s cheap, tough to remove, and fuck it, it will make us all feel a little better.🤣👺🤣👺☮️🦋🤣
If Blue voters don't come out in droves in 2026 and blitz all elections. Then this country really is lost and it's time for us normal and sane folk to seek asylum somewhere.
Didn't think I'd ever see the headline "Americans Seeking Asylum Abroad", but we might.
Stay pissed off, in fact, get more angry. I think folks will rise up. The dems are getting a backbone. People are taking to the streets. We need some boycotting, stop giving your money to anyone who supports this felon. In the meantime, I'm sending you some positive vibes, I'll need support later
The 2016 crowd that yelled "Defund the Police" & said it didn't matter are now telling you "Genocide Joe, Killer Kamala, and Donald Trump are the same", because the Dems didn't convince them.
No "Don't Walk" sign will ever be big enough if you choose to ignore the car that's clearly not stopping.
Two rooms. One has a hornet in it, the other a starved ex Joe Exotic Bengal tiger: you have to choose one to enter. If you don’t, we tie steaks to your neck & let the tiger in here with all of us.

Tough titty cupcake, politics is REALLY elbow deep in all of us, so PULL YOURSELF TOGETHER AND SOLDIER UP.

Something something “guns, lots of guns” something something “guillotine” something something “Anarchist’s Handbook”
Did I get all of that?
