The key to preventing the worst kind of legislation from passing is to pressure vulnerable swing district GOP House members. All it will take is one or two defections! The GOP House majority is smaller than ever. Let’s paralyze it.

If they're vulnerable, but already elected, if they go against gop they lose all funding. If they toe the gop party line they get access to campaign resources and can weather any PR storm.
They don't have to worry if the other side won't fight dirty.
45 laid waste to so many of his party members and 40 of his 44 cabinet picks. I say go for it. The in-fighting will be with Republicans not Democrats and I'm all for it. So long Gaetz, Pence, Cheney, Bolton, Barr, Sessions, McCarthy! I know he can do better this time!
But they all have some weird (kinky?) fetish with being afraid of Trump. They don't care what their constituents think, they think Trump will magic them the votes to stay in power. And if they turn on Trump, he will magic the votes away to the next person who licks boots.
Are we really doing "push the Republicans left" discourse? How did that work out for Harris, courting the Cheneys and McCains? The Dems literally just lost doing stuff like this.
If congress took their job seriously. America would be in a big surplus. But instead rich bought congress to siphon money like the banks bought up housing . Now we have homeless. Let's get even
After inauguration any attempt to check THEIR ( not just the 🍊 🐷) consolidation of power will be dealt with in vile ways.
All of this talk of how to weather 🍊🐷 2.0 is obeying in advance! Once they have the scepter of power it will never be relinquished!
The time to act is now!!!
Want to bring him down here's the plan. Ask Republicans in your sphere where their line is. What is the thing that is so heinous that your leader can do that will make you withdraw your support. Write it down. Wait till he does it (he will), show up with that paper
They know that no noise is good news, and every cheesed off noise has a thousand voices behind it. Why? People tend to stay quiet until they’re ticked off
Love this. We need to take collaborative strategic action not just commiserate. KEEP CALM AND COLLABORATE. We all need to be educated on specific actions items to fulfill our purpose of restoring the integrity of our democracy
Perhaps. After four years of loud blather and nearly a decade of tantrums, Trump seems to have lost some of his glow (no mobs showed up for the NYC trials) but the Rs have proven to be minus a backbone.
I have to believe that the GOP will one day [sadly, not likely to be soon] rue the fact that they allowed Donald Trump to make a mockery of their party, their country & the Republic!!? 🤔
Do regular Republicans NOT hear how Trump is openly mocking & contemptuous of what Republicans always were?
You are right. The way to resist is to fight many separate Senate battles against proposed legislation, executive actions, and appointments. When studying the rise of Nazi Germany we ask ourselves, What would I have done then, to prevent what happened. The time for action is now.
THEN IS NOW
Given Thune got in on a secret ballot, you know there are GOP who hate MAGA. In a sane world, they’d be secretly organizing to create a consortium to protect one another in opposition. Much as I dislike Liz Cheney’s political views, she’d lead a great oppo GOP.
The moderates won't vote for stuff the club for growth likes, and the club for growth won't vote for moderate stuff. That's what paralyzed them last time Trump was in office.
I keep asking for someone to create a starter pack with these moderate reps, get them in here and open up this echo chamber to the moderates we need, nobody is hearing me, small account I guess 🇺🇸💙
They don't need to defect. Let them have the majority. But every GOPer will have the power to jam up their own party the way Manchin and Sinema jammed up Senate Democrats. And as we've seen before, between the "Freedom" Caucus and the ones in swing districts, they'll obstruct themselves. Let them.
January 6 was more of a inside job & worse of a hoax than Covid
2 Pet 3:16 the ignorant unstable twist the truth, and it will end in their own utter destruction. It’s now down to 50% of people have left those demons.
Matt 24:51 and he will cut the servant to pieces and assign him a place with the hypocrites. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Agreed! Let’s screech everyone in government to a halt. That should be fairly easy. They all hate each other. I’m good with nothing moving for 2 more years.
I don't believe that the House will be a problem for long, especially the way Orange Julius is stealing members from the GOP, slight margin of control. Plus I also believe that the mid terms will produce a different outcome, when they understand the damage the GOP did.
We also have to keep an eye out on Evans (stroke), Grijalva (cancer), and Connolly (cancer), as they may not show up for votes when needed. Plus Golden and Perez may also break off for some issues, so it's important to make sure the Dem caucus stays together when we need to call, e-mail, or write.
I am reading your posts while hearing the voice of Seki in my mind. You were amazing in Blue Eye Samurai. Yes, let’s paralyze the already ineffective GOP House! And don’t let up reminding America how terrible they are at governing.
Thank you! I'm moving into a nursing home tomorrow. It may take a while to get settled, get my feet on the ground, and get running, but I'll get on it . . . eventually!

It's getting really obvious, you burnt-out actor turned indoctrinator.
Those up for re-election in 2 years, in areas that are not solidly red. Let’s make (or find) a list!
Hollow promises from people like Collins are cold comfort
Certainly, we should try to -but I’m not sanguine that *anyone* on that side of the aisle will act as some kind of trailblazer for good

The art of lobbying is to make it more of a problem to ignore you than to support you.
That’s all.

It took them 70 years to descend from Dwight Eisenhower as POTUS, to someone cosplaying & quoting verbatim from the mouth of Adolf Hitler! 😢
THEN IS NOW

Every district that's got a Biden appointee. Challenge *everything*. Slow then down.
This will keep the pressure on them.
