I work for DOJ and it is so hard not to feel dejected with everything happening but especially *waves arms* whatever that was today. Will we ever come back from this?

A swing left is happening. People are angry and waking up GOP to lies. Evil is always here. We have to fight it! America's been complacent for too long. The sleeping giant of rage is wakening. New leaders will rise to fight. The decades theft and lies by the greedy must and will be stopped.
This damage will take a generation to fix, both internally to the nation and reputationally with the world. I hope it doesn't, but I hope to live long enough to see America restored.
I already know I won't. This is not how I expected to spend at the last half of my life that's for sure! I thought the struggling was behind me and here it is right in front of me clear to my grave!
Worked so hard to get where I am. Today I printed out my social security statements, figuring how to secure investments it is something I work on every day. Be damned if these twits steal my stuff!
That's the way I feel as a 64-year-old cancer "survivor" who may be about to go through another round of cancer treatments. If I die within 5 years I will never find out who won.
Right behind you. I was hoping I get to leave this world not worrying about my son and grandson though. We should be ashamed of ourselves our job as parents are to leave our kids with better than we had, we failed! 💔😢
A lot of the damage will never be repaired. Some allies will never trust America again and most will move on from us. I don't blame them if they do. Why trust a nation that every four years has the potential to spit in your face?
Biden restored so much from Trump 1. If Harris had won, we would have been 90% restored by now. Trump 2, though, is worse. But we'll be on our way back if a Dem Prez is elected in 28. We've got to reach voters though, and Dems didn't do a good enough job of that in 24.
the fatal flaw in your constitution is that it has no emergency exit,every other democracy allows for politicians to step down and new elections. Even if your president steps down, he just gets backfilled by the same ideology,no path to change for years.
No wonder this paralyses dissent and protest.
I’m so concerned about the cyber security people they fired, and the investigations they shut down, especially regarding Russia and election security. Why do you think we’ll have a reliable election?
I’m tired to. And I suppose it’s freeing in the sense that when I decide to end my own life, it will be because it’s that or live penniless on the streets.
Marie, I don’t know your situation, but understand the compulsion. Personally, I hope that I will not give him the benefit of my life. Take good care; stay strong.
I know I’m a bit hyperbolic, but I’m getting on in years, just lost my job, and it will be hard to find another. If social security is taken away, I’ll qualify for the workhouse. 💙
These are different times. Who's the cavalry in this situation? Who's going to play the United States' role?? There is nobody waiting in the wings to rescue the world from fascism this time.
The most sickening part of the past two months is just how many people turn a blind eye and deaf ear to all that's going on, and reply with a "yeah..but he's your president" or "MAGA 2025" or some other comment...and think it's cute. The sheer lack of awareness is astounding.
You are way too optimistic about the next *few* election cycles. Schumer & Dem leadership lack strategy, and are not united. The Friday coup Schumer pulled was disgusting. I doubt we will see change in 2026.
You keep asking WHAT do we want Dems do- Fight united. That is a minimum at start.
Re previous warnings, Fall 2024 Project 2025 & current actions, it might be too late if we *wait* for free elections. We own that future result–with all due respect, we, the people, need to act now, otherwise get used to saying "Praise our Leader".
I don't feel we have the luxury of taking free & fair elections for granted. GOP telegraphed their plans in 2016, 2020, and 2024, accusing Democrats of cheating.
Angry informed us earlier that elections are run by the states and Congress. The White House has no say in canceling elections, even if we are under martial law.
And now...they are slashing thousands of jobs at the post office. GOOD LUCK getting your ballot mailed in on time. And who knows who will be sorting it? (see: DOGE hires with access to the voter registration database) What a s*** show.
I can't believe how out of touch even the most ardent political accounts are...It is over. There will never be a free and fair federal election ever again.
Whether it's as as banal as rigging mail in votes or cancelling the elections, it is over.
There is no reality where MAGA cede power. Ever.
Patrick, if you're a Cubs fan (as I was, most of my life, until I found out the Ricketts guy was a fascist), you know nothing is forever. The odds are great that MAGA will tear itself apart somehow. Something will change; I just won't last that long. Till then I resist.
If we are able to get a Dem majority in the House & Senate in the midterms, and (God willing) the White House in '28, what's the likelihood of being able to impeach the corrupt SCOTUS? The next Dem president needs to have a pitbull for AG, would love to see Jack Smith in that job.
Dick Durbin is up for reelection next year. Start with replacing him. We had the majority and he sent a letter, during the election year, to the most corrupt SCOTUS in American history.
It's got to be so hard. I am so sorry you and others have to endure this. It sucks. Know that we care---not that it solves anything. Just that we care.

If Trump gets more SCOTUS picks, that gets even worse.
We’ve seen how elections are cyclical in other countries, too. We just picked a bad one to swing right.
And believe me, my father is as stubborn as they come.
No wonder this paralyses dissent and protest.
They're dismantling EVERYTHING!
And when they get their Reichstag fire, society will be shut down, with Trump's goon in the street. The is fascism.
It's a revolution or death.
No election is going to save you.
That's what I'm concerned about.
And, frankly, probably the US, as well.
They're a team now, and none of us are safe.
Numerous cycles, up and down the country, since Sandy Hook and Americans kept voting in politicians who undercut gun safety…
Decades of self proclaimed “beacon of democracy” cries…
experience of trump first term…
…you gave the world trump. Thanks 🙃

The truth is P25 MAGA are 10x more enthusiastic and motivated than any dem cause or voting block.
Things aren't just going to change magically and Democrats are incapable and unwilling to fight.
He must go, incl Schumer, Gillibrand.
