The people who leave are tired or cowards. The Democratic Party must change. Reorganization is a must. We can't depend on the midterms. Democracy needs help not abandonment. Don't give up!
Change and reorganize into what? The Democratic Party will be no threat to Trump and MAGA until it recognizes its own role in this coup he won on false promises, and understands the changes needed within. Even then, it may be too late to peel Trump's and MAGA's greedy hands from the levers of power.
It will come. The reorganization will come. Write your Democratic reps and demand change. You are part of the solution. It's a cop out to leave or dispair.
If I were American, I would do that, and/or write to Republican reps & demand change from them as well. And write letters, op-ed, blog posts, etc. and/or or run for public office...You are 💯correct. Lots can be done at the grassroots level. No one is insignificant. Everyone can make a difference.
Well duh. Why do you think we're out here screaming it in your faces. It ain't like we haven't got better things to do. But alas, our country? She needs us first rn.
Might want to put the title as scarier as Real life is now and how horrible is getting to be... Working people losing its earnings and forced to labor as slaves (ck out FL). Fight Patriots, kick corrupt FOTUS out.
They are counting on the fear. In quiet circles they whisper about their own fear as the American public rouses itself from its complacency. We are a nation who previously fought a King. It’s time for us to stand as our forefathers once stood.
How’s about this for motivation. Upper middle class and the merely rich…get ready for Trump goons to admire your homes. Then decide you are not American so they take your home with everything in it. You get to pack a suitcase and take a train ride.
Oh it’s coming. Unless we stop it right now.
Since this is the entire history of the US (see, "3/5 compromise" and "electoral college"), we ought to recognize that capitulating to racist, greed-terrorists is never going to end well for "we, the people." And yet, here we are. Blindfolded & against the wall. Decorum be damned. #resist
considering scientists are now being recruited overseas and history professors are starting to leave; the damage is a lot more serious than that thanks corporate america and mainstream media for bending the knee but I guess you’ll be ok and that’s a you cared about
An important point is that Project 2025 is a blueprint for an authoritarian Republican presidency. The Project 2025 people and right-wing judges do not believe that Democratic presidents should have the same autocratic power. We know that from the assymetrical way the Court treated Biden's actions.
Project 2025 is a blueprint for Götterdämmerung. It ain't over, until the fat lady sings. If you don't like opera, there's always comic books: Ragnarök.
Why aren't the branches of government that are these checks and balances fighting back! They may think they are, but they aren't. The majority of this should not be even allowed without proper procedures!! We don't have a king. We hired a president (not me). Any other business would have fired him!
For Easter, every Republican in House and Senate should be given a copy of the book Profiles in Courage by the Democratic Party gift wrapped with a pink ribbon.
Dem Actions: 1) Submit bill with Trump's forgotten popular tax cuts. 2) Fund infrastructure, education, science, environment 3) Tax all income with FICA regardless of source or amount 4) tax wealth over $100M at 1%, over $1B at 2%, $10B at 3%, $100B at 4%, $1T at 5%...

Why?? Because a large portion of Americans don’t understand there is no waiting for the next election. It’s now or never.
Pitchforks.
I
And if it doesn't turn out right
File bankruptcy
Because it would be hard? Because many would object?
Time to start putting in the work. And understanding that we’re the United States of America, to quote Biden. We can do it. We’re not lazy.
Oh it’s coming. Unless we stop it right now.
