There is nothing conservative about the conservative movement. It is an astroturf effort by powerful business interests to preserve their own power. It treats the Constitution like video game testers treat an open beta—looking for exploits to circumvent democracy www.propublica.org/article/cons...

I'm struggling to get over what we saw today. The amount of gaslighting, cruelty, ignorance, abject cowardice, arrogance, indifference to human life, and deceit we saw from Trump and Vance...we saw behavior we associate with enemies of the United States inside the Oval Office. That's traumatizing.

Canadian MP Charlie Angus: Donald… you’ve have made America sign up with Russia... At one point, that would have been considered the act of a traitor. How do you defend this betrayal of your allies to the American people? If you think Canada is going to break right now, you’re in for a big shock.

Do you know why a president would do all the most evil and heinous shit via Executive Order? Because his party can't easily make it law. And if they can't make it law, they can't make it last. Don't let anyone make you feel like this is The End. Do not let them demoralize you. Live to see them die.
