Every morning I’m like What now? This account is mostly political. It’s where I go to discuss the ongoing shit show, exchange ideas on how to push back against trump 2.0, and vent. Happy to engage in challenging discussions but maga is blocked on sight.

I (and others) have caught a lot of flak on here for calling out the pathetically tepid response to trump’s unexpected rapid dismantling of the federal government.

The main question I get is “what can a minority party do” and here are some of my ideas…would love to hear yours!

Evidently the “rising stars” of the Republican Party

Remember when people voted for trump because “Biden made muh eggs too expensive” and here we are, nearly a year later and the message were being given now is essentially “cope suckers”

I fully expect conservatives to do anything they can to restrict access to the polls because they know that’s the only way they can win elections

Every wannabe king forgets the same lesson: Americans don’t kneel. The weak call it chaos. The strong call it a wake-up call. The Constitution doesn’t need worshippers. It needs warriors.🔥👇

Parnas: A lot of people are saying this idea that, well, Graham Platner hasn’t won statewide, and Janet Mills has.

Platner: We have a number of excellent senators who had never run for office or won a statewide race before.

That’s an argument the establishment makes to protect itself

Bobby Walker, former vice chair of the New York State Young Republicans, has apparently deleted his Twitter account.

Politico’s story reported that Walker referred to rape as “epic,” used slurs, and participated in a thread about sending opponents to the gas chamber.
