I sadly doubt, that an election map would look like that ever again. After hearing some interviews with rural Magas, I was dumbfounded to hear, that they will still vote for the convicted felon and his band of fascists. Some even said, they would support a 3rd Trump term. Scary shit to listen to...
I think in order for that to happen today, the Democrats are going to have to find a "working class" candidate not associated with the current political ruling class!
Before Republicans engaged in voter suppression, and states changed election laws to overturn delegate votes, and before StarLink was used to convey tallied votes that went into Starlink one way but data scientists showed peculiar discrepancies in tallied votes on the way out of Starlink?
The blue people got really angry about civil rights, and became red. The red people realized the red party weren't really their people anymore, and became blue.
I can assure you that the Northeast Corridor will all be blue this time.
But we need to take into consideration the "cult factor". My guess is that mid-west/Maga states will be red, no matter what.
You think he's unstoppable?
You believe him when he says 2020 election was rigged?
IT WAS! BY HIM!
Musk failed in 2020, but his hack worked in 2024!
Don't lose the next election. Help STOP THE REAL STEAL!
If there's anything left after this, let's hope the republican party NEVER recovers. Make the dems the new right, they're basically there anyway, and get some ACTUAL leftists in power
If we can just get single payer healthcare it'll open the flood gates to acceptance of socialist policy
The SAVE Act. If your birth certificate and driver's licence have different names, you will have to present proof of your name change. So it's harder for married women (who have taken their partner's name) to vote, as they will need to present their marriage certificate.
That was a different world. True but not the main point today. Today, we have to support the balance of power under threat. If we lose the court system then we lose America.
Nice thought, but so many states are do heavily gerrymandered, it is impossible for Democrats to win. Colorado "In 2018, two competing groups came together to create “Fair Maps Colorado,” proposing Amendments Y for congressional districts and Z for state legislative districts. 1/
And we all know toxic Christians like to preach and lecture while they forever live in their own sin. But we will have a huge blue wave come 2026 nonetheless.
Totally agree. I’m looking forward to having better leaders elected at the state level and into Congress and the Senate. America deserves to get out from under this disgusting SCOTUS and POTUS and DOGE.
Social media (x, FB, whatever) and Fox (etc) would have to be definitely and clearly outed for social engineering executed through it and that foreign and corrupt engineering would have to be prohibited. But I don’t know about the bigotry that fuels MAGA, they hate all solutions like UBI.
Technically only a majority of voters need to be reached to turn a state, but much of the MAGA hate relies on class/race/gender warfare and not education and policy solutions for a mutually thriving America.
Billionaires and MAGA must badly want to enslave America forever.
I lost my father to that cult.
If we convince those voters to turn those states blue, for our rights, our children, our immigrants, our science and blue wins 2028, I'll tell my father "You made your choice, but I made mine...!"
I hope there is another presidential election, however, the way things are going today, there is not one person that can stop Trump or president musk. 1932 was different than today. We are less than 4 months into his presidency and look how much they have taken away.
I am stuck in the boonies caring for my 91 year old mom and 88 year old FIL (hard nazi btw so fun).
I can't leave them, but I have land so I bought 30 chicks, and I am increasing my garden 10 fold. - I will donate to my food pantry, etc - would love to directly support protesters though. Need plan!
Trump gets a rise out of stressing Wall St, is pretty clear, but he cannot face it any more than companies can have maniac extremes see-sawing… Last admin kept it from being drastic but was not globalist & was weary of China.
The government started this ball rolling years ago with lionizing Elon Musk & other San Fran, for perceived personal assurances. Tariff styles conveyed are all hostility instead of > of incentives on < glam industries that > families connect w.
I seriously believe somehow that Musk and Russia screwed with a lot of the elections to get trump elected again Kamala was drawing way more people to her gatherings than trump it just didn't seem possible.
For extensive coverage of the protest or just plain truthful news reporting, check out MTN Meidas Touch Network. Its all the stuff Corporate media doesn't want you to see.
The Smoot-Hawley tariffs weren't accompanied by a Fascist Nazi subversion of the Federal government, backed by a Fascist Yarvinist cabal of billionaires, with an evil Fascist blueprint for dictatorship called Project 2025.
I imagine the fury will be brought to congress. Let's get out those '1773 - no taxation without representation' flags now and wave them at every protest. Might need to simplify message for maga though.
The regime's answer to that, will be incarceration of as many women (primarily women of colour) as possible, to intimidate other women and to send a message to everyone.
Skye: Can you field a candidate with broad appeal and competence tho? Or is it just gonna swing wildly back the other way every 4 years as we circle the drain.
If we survive this, I hope Americans are thinking more soberly about who is fit to lead the country than "appeal". Mangolini evidently had enough rizz to get by.
I seriously question whether we deserve Democracy given the critical thinking skills of current voters.
Well I was with a client on Friday and they had CNN on. I don't watch the news anymore but they were falling all over all over themselves with excitement saying their polls show Dems have fallen off..its a tie now as to how ppl trust a party. Whatever. Im sure they asked "US" right? Nope
DOGE is dismantling CISA right now. They handle, among other things, cybersecurity for voting machines. It's very, very optimistic to think there will be another free and fair election in the near future.
Start small - towns, counties, states. We can't count on gov so let's organize to count on each other. We can't ignore them, but need to cut them out of our lives and plans. Communities need to step up and rise. Feed each other - town papers (local and helpful stuff) And just think of our kids!
Absolutely but we need a much longer and more sustained fight than just the midterms. This took DECADES to manufacture and it will take DECADES to change
I’ve worried about them cheating, but they might make elon mad enough when they discard him that he’ll turn on them and tell all their business on twitter.
On a positive note just read a bunch of pissed off tweets by T voters about their stocks. Inflation is here now because China is ignoring him and not taking his phone calls. T can't do anything aggressive about that since XI sends Putin troops.
on a side note - interesting_look at few population shifts since 1932 in by no. of state Electoral votes:
Fl 9/30. AZ 3/11. CA 22/54. GA 12/16. MI 19/15. TX 23/40. MA 8/11. OH 26/17. NY 47/28
NY to CA was really big! TX big increase!
Was different country in 1932.
HOPE? You already killed people. You as country are already responsible for a massive destruction of resources on the planet, and brought is a tick more near the total climate disaster. Hope? You already f--ked up royality. We assume you fix that BEFORE the next voting, because else you are monsters
Lets be absolutely clear: If you say you fix that problem by voting, then you say ALL WHAT TRUMP DID WAS NORMAL REGULAR POLITICS IN US. You wanna say that this shitshow is how politics should be done in US and that if you dont like it you vote it out just? Is there NO SANE ADULT in your SH-TH-LE?
We got a long road ahead to fight back so that we have elections. It would help if mainstream media would pull their heads out of their brown nosing asses
Not sure I consider that hope. Because while yes it'll flip power politically. But a good portion are flipping solely because of financial reasons. A good number of them will still support the racism and bigotry of the right. There isn't an actual societal change with a vote swing like that.
Folks seemed to have missed this part ‘We are in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless ― if the left allows it to be.’
It WILL get bloody it's just a matter of WHEN. Inaction NOW will make it far more difficult to take back what is being lost to the autocrats and oligarchs at an exponential rate. Act NOW or democracy is toast... #Resistance #FreedomFighters #Democracy
Pre-social media disinformation campaigns. Until we get that under control we’re toast. You only have to look at the number of “he’s playing chess” MAGA influencers who are still going at it hard-core.
BUT, are the eligible voters going to be allowed to vote? Are women to be disenfranchised through their marriage? The party of Family Values doesn't value their family members' right to vote!
Why would any woman of common-sense would vote for a Republican is beyond me.
That's the thing, though, isn't it? Many dutiful Republican wives dare not go against their masters out of fear that bad things will happen to them. These women are oppressed...
The only difference was they weren’t looking to be a dictator. We are dealing with a want to be a dictator and party that is ok with that. I question if there will be elections.
I am guessing that this regime will not allow elections and if they do they will be rigged in the favor of the maggots. I think that in all probability they will need to be forcibly removed. They are the greatest threat to humanity and this world.
Comments
they arent gonna count our votes anymore, the GOP is your only political party now. forever.
You don't have to go out in the street like AOC and Bernie...
Cory Booker protested and barely moved from his spot for 25:05 hours...
one voice might not seem like much, but it matters
We don't need Division Exclusion and Inequity
Keep telling them!
pissing themselves
That's not the case with today's voters.
And therein lies the problem.
#GetBusy 😎🗽🇺🇸
Until then, it's just blah blah blah.
See ya in the streets !!!!!!!!!!
Review and action are front and center now.
But we need to take into consideration the "cult factor". My guess is that mid-west/Maga states will be red, no matter what.

People selling the narrative that there is no clearly better choice are full of it.
If we can just get single payer healthcare it'll open the flood gates to acceptance of socialist policy
The lies & $billionaire propaganda will continue to mislead the public. We are under attack. Make no mistake.
Trump's chaos, tariffs, ICE, all harmful, but distracting from $billionaire tech bros now dismantling the US gov and democracy.
FIGHT!
Who is offering such a transformative agenda? Who?
I lost my father to that cult.
If we convince those voters to turn those states blue, for our rights, our children, our immigrants, our science and blue wins 2028, I'll tell my father "You made your choice, but I made mine...!"
Unfortunately, the only one like that is Bernie and he doesn't have another presidential run in him (nor should he at his age)
Walz is promising, but still uncertain
It is fucking crazy after
And we are not there yet. Not by a long shot. The real pain hasn't even started yet.
I can't leave them, but I have land so I bought 30 chicks, and I am increasing my garden 10 fold. - I will donate to my food pantry, etc - would love to directly support protesters though. Need plan!

But back then elections were on paper ballots.
Dumbest system to elect a Leader!
No reason they should benefit from this situation
Because taxation without representation is illegal.
The slippery slope of fascism is a heinous thing.
I seriously question whether we deserve Democracy given the critical thinking skills of current voters.

People were saying the country was doing GREAT while this slime monster was working its way through the sewers.
"...Republicans were casting a net for white Southerners who were uneasy with integration."

People are too stupid today.
Fl 9/30. AZ 3/11. CA 22/54. GA 12/16. MI 19/15. TX 23/40. MA 8/11. OH 26/17. NY 47/28
NY to CA was really big! TX big increase!
Was different country in 1932.
But I do get the message that the party bringing tariffs drowns.
Bidenomics
And literally anyone who changes their name for any reason
It passed in the House on April 10. 4 Dems voted yes.
Golden (Maine)
Perez (Wash.)
Cuellar (Texas)
Case (Hawaii).
Your senators (including GOP) need to hear you loud and clear to vote NO.

Why would any woman of common-sense would vote for a Republican is beyond me.
Taking the steps to organize properly, with precision & confidence flip seats.
Organizing takes time.
We must act now.
