Exactly what I've been trying to explain to many people: Trump is not the only problem in government. He has infected not just the government but also our society with people like him. Greediness and cruelty has become the new "moral value".
You want change in America? It is time to repeal the filibuster in the senate. I do not care how scary it becomes if Republicans are in power. You want change? We have to stop ruling by minority or nothing will ever get done. Few laws will ever get passed if it stays.
It is even deeper. GOP won't be popular if it didn't find its audience. These ignorant, bigoted rural and urban people screaming "I LIKE MY TAXES LOW!!111"and being constantly fed Faux "news" lies. They're okay with their countrymen suffering as long as it is not them.
I read once that if you really want to set these people's asses on fire, just live on a happy life and don't pay them any attention. Their hatred and disdain will burn them from the inside like an acid.
But first the Dems must return to power.
While I agree calling them (deserved adj.s) it won't change them or Help Us.
I live in rwXtain area & while ill informed via media they are generations led gop voters - it's how we've always voted... they don't think mean but following Church, bosses, Dad etc & yes media after work dinner kids etc
Too many don't think beyond work family & fox propaganda.
But I had a neighbor who voted gop for 50yrs, listened to rw bs radio daily which he claimed to not hear
Obama's 2nd term he said to me "that Boy's doing a great job isn't he?" & With racism intact voted for Mr Obama for doing a good job
Holy cow... Their moral compass is really malfunctioning. Besides, hypocrites are assholes by definition. I wouldn't want my neighbors to be these people.
In almost 40yrs in SLO Co residents with generations voting rw are not mean but instructed is the word I come up with. Yes racist, 2 faced.
But I have met too many 'nice' (their word) liberals here that are the same & will backstab fast to get ahead & have fans for their sweet demeanor cute talk
Sad but true the rot is from the inside out! No cutting away the bad when the core is completely rotted! So you have to throw them all out and start fresh that’s where the people have the power with their vote and voices!! When somethings rotten to the core you need to throw it away!
We can only hope that even the most ardent Trump supporter, no millionaires, will see the damage these tariffs will bring and the hurt they'll bring to the American public, and vote with their brains for once, but I realize how hard that will be for them.
I don’t know. They are losing but refuse to acknowledge it and are content to warm themselves with their ideology. It’s like the Nazis and Japanese soldiers after the war was long over.
AOC is right. Trump tapped into the hate in this country🇺🇸 for his own benefit. He doesn't care about his followers or the USA. 💵💰Money & power are his goals. It looks like he is getting rich by their compliance with his will, extortions, cons, grifts, bullying and wizard techniques apparently. 🧐
Heritage Foundation (credited for project 2025) &other organizations are like cancer in DC.They need to be rooted out of our politics immediately.Any specialty groups,lobbyist,big business have no place in politics.Especially,if they favor greed,corruption or harm other living citizens,environments
"WE THE PEOPLE"
PARTY NEED THE ANTI RUMP! Someone that comes in kicks ass for the people! Doesn't care about how it gets done! But the goal is get it done for "WE THE PEOPLE" PARTY!
Absolutely. Dissolve the Electoral College immediately. That kills gerrymandering. It also open the door to other Party's being formed and getting on ballots. Then donation reform. And massive sentences for voter fraud.
Yes. The Electoral College is so outdated. It was beneficial way back in the ye ol' days when people still sent messages by horse or by pigeon. We don't need it anymore.
It all must go. It will be no small task to clean house in America. Replace the Fairness Doctrine, eliminate Citizens United, enforce ethics requirements for all 3 branches of federal government, enact term limits for Congress and SCOTUS, enforce the term limit for the Presidency. A good start.
Trump has turned on alot of these people. They did not really believe he would take it this far.They too are all suffering one way or another from trumps bad decisions. People who support trump always get burned.maga has got to go. Bring back the real republican conservatives .
Das ist ein Posting, wo es gelungen ist, die ganze "Misere Trump" in einem Satz zusammenzufassen. Es sollte für jeden Klick auf's Herzchen mindestens 10 Likes geben. Solche megastarken Frauen braucht die Welt. Bei uns gibts die auch bei den Grünen (gleich drei) und bei den Linken. Da kann man (auch
This is a post that manages to summarize the whole "Trump misery" in one sentence. There should be at least 10 likes for every click on the little heart. The world needs such mega-strong women. We in Germany also have them in the Green Party (three of them) and the Left Party.
Unfortunately, that’s exactly what’s happening to the Democrat party right now. They have a head start over the Republicans today. Nobody knows what the situation will be in four years as both might be in tough shape.
yes! People need to understand that trump is just a SYMPTOM of the rampant ignorance, racism, hate etc etc etc in this country. Remove him, it's only removing the top of the destructive weed without digging out the ROOTS.
While Trump is a unique character in various ways, he’s a symptom and characteristic of what the Republican Party, its infrastructure, and its culture war strategy are and what it means. That’s not going to die when Trump pays the ultimate price for his unhealthy habits.
Why we’ll have to hold the right accountable for enabling DT and his fascist movement, even if he’s too ignorant to understand the consequences of his actions, that changed our democracy, they allowed it.
Soon when MAGA followers are hurt or hungry enough they will realize what they’ve done.
AOC is sure money is the evil instead of understanding the evil exists no matter what. Any good historian will note the long history of populism that promotes division, hate, racism, and discrimination, no money involved. Refusing to tackle fascism FIRST makes every other effort impossible to obtain
I'm an historian of US social movements. Populism always deteriorates into RW extremism. Never has failed to happen. Progressivism may or may not succeed. Depends on the grit of the participants who are not looking for easy answers and saviors. History should be our guide.
Yes, mostly true, except I object to the use of the word "reanimated". It was never de-animated. It was just not as brazen as it is now. Perhaps re-licensed works better because Trump has given the racists full license to freely express what they have been thinking all along.
AOC is 100% correct on this point. There is likely 25-35% of any country that would embrace fascism but the U.S. is at the higher end - it always leaned right wing
Add the dysfunctional electoral college system & 2 senators per state, it’s been all too easy for Christo-fascists to hijack control.
Part of this is one of the reasons the GOP is virtually impossible to vindicate in having given him the nomination, and that is the way the absolute worst facets of our society are emboldened by his presidency.
The GOP has been existed for years. They have been fooling us all. The heritage foundation has infiltrated their ranks. They’re federalist fascists, with a far right agenda. It happened so gradually we didn’t notice. They just wore the mask of a republican. I would be pissed if this was my party.
There are a TON of people in my area who will have absolutely no clue what they’ve done, thinking it’s the good ole Ronald Reagan Republicans, just like Dad and Grandpa always voted for.
That’s true. I think that’s one thing groups like the Lincoln Project should do. Is root out the cancer in their party. Starting at the top. There’s over 200,000 federal employees in D.C linked to the heritage foundation alone. Makes you wonder how many kept their jobs? Doesn’t it?
PSYCHOPATH Trump (KGB codename since 1987: Krasnov) has been PSYCHOPATH Putin’s bootlicker for decades.
Trapped w/in the behavior patterns of their disorder, WORLD DOMINATION/ENSLAVEMENT is the agenda as *RUSSIA’S Republicans*—also cultivated over decades—destroy America/Americans to pave the way.

The people who believed in him made the Nazis.
Trump is a failed businessman, reality tv star who seems to want to do nothing but golf.
Be afraid of MAGA and those around Trump. He's the face.Nothing more

...gotta start somewhere, though.
If only the system allowed the cream to rise.

ALL MUST BE SOLVED.
REMOVE corruption
REVERSE the damage
RECLAIM our democracy
The real enemy is the Republican Party.

I’m on my second large espresso, my eyes skipped right over that. 👍
