Remember this. We are weaker now. “Trump has groomed us.” Try to hold and speak and advocate what you know is right and true. We’ve already moved so far. Don’t change your standards to accommodate their shameless incompetence & cruelty.

Don't lower yourselves to their standards. If we do that, we lose ourselves. Adhere to the truth instead. Live by it. Learn from it, grow with it & move forward. https://youtube.com/live/9Zk-wacS800?feature=share
No. Break all the rules! Make your point loudly and forcefully. The time for Grandma's Democrats is fucking over. We can't afford to play by rules which no longer exist.
Wholeheartedly agree with this. How many times have we heard/said that one of his statements/actions should have disqualified him, and yet they never did.
I think of America electing Donald Trump like an abused child who seeks out and abusive partner as an adult. Not only has he groomed us, but we have entered into the drama expecting to rise above it and instead we're caught in a cycle of traumatic retention
"Don’t change your standards to accommodate their shameless incompetence & cruelty."
Amen.
The problem is that many of those in "leadership" positions in the media and politics, Joe and Mika for instance, have become appeasers and it trickles down.
Trump or the media? Or the courts? Or the Congress? I mean at every step, no one held him accountable, and the media, as a whole , did little to inform how completely out of the norm he was. Instead he was treated as “controversial” at best.
This from The More Dangerous Case of Donald Trump. She’s right. It’s been grooming. Choose compassion, not hate. That is what leader Trump is pushing for.
The part that gets me with the msm. They NEVER OR OFTEN ENOUGH CALLED HIM OUT EACH AND EVERY TIME HE LIED. Period. They each blamed other news outlets for that. But they thmsvls didn't call his lies out. As he kept lying.
Even the reporters walking with him asking him questions. All the dif reporters should have consecutively asked him the same question. But only one did then they asked a stupid question no follow up.
I don’t think it was so much the media as the social media. These days itself impossible to have even one clear set of reality common for all, let alone facts. Add to that the foreign bots that divide and manipulate. Trump is symptomatic of all that.
Correct 💯 The MSM never held him accountable in 2015 while running and each incident/scandal allowed the bar to go lower and lower. Now the bar is on the floor
It's how the people of Germany were groomed to accept the unacceptable. Death of decency by a thousand cuts! But please remember your voice is important so never stop fighting.
Absolutely
Based on the President elect previous term of self serving actions and his obvious lack of concern for Our Country’s laws. It should have been obvious the individual in question Shouldn’t have convinced half Our Country electorate to give him a second chance to HARM Our Country.
I think we need to recognize and articulate the role that Russia has played in this. When we oppose the incoming administration, we are opposing Russia taking control of our country and destroying democracy.
Exactly. I left the D party because of their refusal to #PublishTheERA as well as their rightward shift.
Sick of that party telling us to mobilize while they are blocking basic human rights and continuing the same Constitutional crisis started by 45. It's not right. https://voteequality.us
The whole “Big Lie election was stolen” was to make the people lose faith in our democratic institutions. It was the litmus test for republicans and now in 2024 some Democrats have bought into it. It is important to stop this and devote all our energy to oppose the tsunami of shit coming our way.
don’t disagree but we are only weaker if we individually and collectively allow it to happen-just say no to trump’s fascism and embrace Inclusive Democracy-together…
I’m feeling fatigued from the fight. I’m feeling overwhelmed by the widespread need for civil awakening. My well meaning progressive community aren’t fighters as much as high thinkers. How do we ignite warriors? How do we abandon all this decorum and get down and dirty? I need to know.
She’s correct to a certain degree. People are refusing to shut down propaganda in a society of racism in America which has become norm. When you have foreign adversaries working against America and we do, it’s easy to feed greed. Trump has sold his moral soul for greed and power.
I do not accept 47’s ignoring and trampling rule of law.
I am outraged that the rule of law appears to be broken when 47 continues to avoid any accountability and consequences.
I completely agree with you. And I think that’s the most disturbing thing of all. The American people have to recover their integrity.
Can you imagine Dwight Eisenhower doing that to a microphone? Or being a convicted felon? Or appointing someone who is incompetent to be the secretary of defense?
Eisenhower hadn't even been christened when he was elected which now seems unbelievable given the US has steadily moved towards being a theocracy. Now the USA is also moving towards being a kakistocracy.
My reminder to everyone, remember that yea it’s Trump, but it’s the GOP who decided he would be their representative. If Trump fell over tomorrow from natural old age, the GOP would just throw another body at his spot to keep advocating for the same BS that is best for the wealthy & the GOP.
Speak with your time and money. Don’t support the grinding of vacuous threats. Support actions like not spending your money or time with those supporting oligarchy.

WOO HOO! Good has truly triumphed over evil (DESPITE your proven cheating) as proven by President Trump's massive victory. Congratulations America! What a great day for our country. And given the electoral and popular vote landslides we have a true mandate (now that we
know that President Trump was right (again) as the "close" races were only a result of the now PROVEN massive voter fraud perpetrated by the democrats and the liberals/regressives as they tried to steal the election (again)). The overwhelming majority of Americans have spoken loudly that
they reject the disaster of the last four years and the democrat party's complete lack of accomplishments - and know that President Trump is the one to turn the page on the dems' disaster and tyranny and reverse it all - and fix it all. We won DESPITE all of the dems' and you
regressives' attempts to steal the election by cheating, massive election fraud from mail-in voting as well as other now proven methods (which means that President Trump won by even a wider margin than reported), and all the illegals that the dems allowed to vote! (LOL let the
excuses and lies begin! Though, despite the fact that you left-wing extremists all criticized President Trump over the possibility that he wouldn't accept the election results, no doubt you will again hypocritically do the very thing you said would be wrong - and even criminal –
if President Trump did it, just like 2016 - remember: according to you, questioning election results is anti-democracy!). Proof once again that it is actually YOU and YOUR COMRADES who are the true threats to democracy (and that we thwarted your clear attempt to destroy our
I was thinking about nihilism today. Thinking about Steve Bannon’s view points that have been reported about burning it all down. They mean burn down any aspect of society that does not cater to the wealthy. I say let’s give them more than that. If the poor have to be serfs and peons again (1)
they can be serfs and peons with us. Because it can all be burnt down. All the servers can be destroyed so they cannot get to their crypto, all the planes can be grounded so no one can leave the country. There special little compounds where they think to hide underground can be overrun. If the (2)
That's a fair question. The women's march made me hopeful. There were something like 70,000 of us in Seattle. Bald eagles were circling above us while we waited for the march to start moving.
I think the only way we'll ever have norms again, is if we make them laws.
I'm certainly not willing to trust the GOP to do what is right or best for the country, when they have repeatedly and consistently demonstrated they will not.
Reporters and commentators could start by focusing on why Trump nominated a bunch of unqualified and compromised people to key positions and what that says about how he views his job, his morals, and his duty to the American people! This is Trump’s 💩 show, not the Senate’s!
They control the narrative, create drama & we allow them to monopolize 90% of everyone's attention whether they hold power, or not. Can't we all agree to shift our focus to our vision, spotlight our visionaries, our heroes, our solutions, steer and redirect every conversation back to ours instead?
We have a country full of caring, inspiring, hardworking individuals and communities. We have a system of laws and structures that can protect us if we all do our part from our unique place. That brings me hope. Let’s all hold the line. Don’t give in! We can do this!
I feel this in my bones. Truest thing I've heard said about this entire debacle. And they all sat there, and heard it, and then moved on. Because we HAVE shifted. That's what we do now. We SHIFT. All the time. We move on to the next. Trump didn't create this change in us. He exploited it
I agree. I’ve been telling people for years now that trump made it socially acceptable to act on prejudice and hatred. What used to be taboo and hidden is now out and loud. For some reason, that is enticing, and becomes like “mob rule.” The darker side of people “won.”
Exactly! Some people might not be willing to move forward, but they can try to catch up later. I’m definitely not going back to the BS of 2017-2020. Or before the Civil Rights Act, they can miss me with that nonsense!
I heard you as I was walking in and out of room and had to stop and sit down. What you said hit hard. Thank you. It belongs w/Timothy Snyder’s rules for resisting.
Then why is she capitulating to someone she recently compared to Adolf Hitler? A man who literally tried to steal the last election and get away with it? Biden has immunity. He can do whatever the fuck he wants to Trump, but he won't because he's also a fascist pig dog.
I am far from weak! I have the strength to fight until my last breath! Patrick Henry”Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death” who’s with me! Let’s stand now let’s all gather & peacefully request president Biden’s ear for a conversation about how we feel & where to go from here!
A thousand times this. I listened to this interview live and was incredibly struck by the truth of it. We need, more than ever, to remember what is acceptable & to challenge out loud & with fervour, that which is not
I really don't understand why we aren't reading about the Congressional switchboard lit up like a Christmas tree, with Americans demanding background checks, and a halt to Trump's worst nominees.
Yep, and much of that fault falls straight on the laps of MSM. Just look at where we’re at. We have a felon as our president elect who is above the law and will suffer no consequences for this actions. He’s empowered and his asinine traits have been normalized.
Groom is a good word to describe the creation of MAGA cultists who like children were taken in by a perceived fatherly figure who was going to fight off the boogey man they lived in fear of. The boogey man was hispanic. Hispanics were illegal, characterized as dogs, rapists and drug lords.

It’s sad to see.
Hopefully one day we can return to the respect and morality we used to have, but with true acceptance of others baked in as well.

Remember when we were seriously talking about universal healthcare and mitigating climate change?
That’s why he seems to relish humiliating ppl around him.

9 yrs of his nonstop whining, lying, inciting has also worn a lot of us down. It's what abusers do
But we also need an honest conversation about the flagrant role of the MSM in all of this
NO ONE'S enabled Trump more than the MSM (except the GOP)
Have we all decided to complain here instead?

The corp media is. Cronkite & Murrow are gobsmacked at the craven sycophancy.
But let’s face it, corp media gave up core principles and their spines round about 1993 or so, and it’s been a slide ever since.
THEY have a lot of work to do.
