Imagine being so deep in a cult of stupidity that you read this post and respect the convicted felon who wrote it enough to do what he tells you to do.

Newsom is showing how to fight. Pritzker & Walz to a lesser extent. Governors doing it more than anyone in Congress.
Well, Dems aren’t all working to move the Overton Window on impeachment, either. So I agree with you that Dems need a unified message, and one that energizes high info primary voters (i.e., the base). Right now, all we get is Jeffries and Schumer yapping about fighting without actually doing it

Define 'fight'. Tell them what to do, how to do it. Get out from behind microphones and social media, and lead.
We cannot let this be normal. A sitting United States President has called for ‘death’ to sitting Members of Congress.

Those who he targets — veterans, intelligence community, federal workers — must stand up and fight.

Nobody could've predicted the failure of the Republican trickle down theory except every respected economist, including Nobel winners, and decades of history proving its failure.

Let us hear the infamous story about the necessity of a “land swap” again..

These Ukrainians will be demoralized, tortured and men will be forced to fight on Russia’s behalf. Don’t be naive or romantic about it.

EU, the people you leave with Putin, will be forced to kill your citizens. Wake up.

The same folk who declassified "professional degrees" say that diseases are more dangerous than vaccines, climate change is a hoax, & evolution is just a theory.
Stop listening to Republicans & vote them out of power. Democrats, down the ballot, from now until 2029. Start fixing this mess.

One day we may have real journalists hosting these programs. They will do research to challenge corrupt guests, insist on answers to their Qs, & face the lies with facts.
Until then, we won't get new information from corporate media that prefers entertainment to fill air space between commercials.

Hillary Clinton & Kamala Harris were right about everything, but they underestimated the stupidity of Americans. Republicans played to that with entertaining lies. Democrats will lose if they keep campaigning as if we're better than this.

She literally told us everything that would happen with Trump - that he would have an enemies list and he would abuse the DOJ, that he would raise all of our taxes through his asinine tariffs, that he would send the military after American citizens, etc.

In a functioning democracy, it takes voters who are paying attention, live by decent American values, & choose competent, compassionate candidates. In other words, it's going to take every Republican out of office, choosing Democrats down the ballot from now until 2029.
Real question

How long are we going to allow the US “government” + billionaires to abuse us citizens? What will it take for us to mobilize against them and actively revolt?

I feel like civil disobedience, voting, not spending our money, etc as forms of resistance isn’t…enough. But that’s just me

Yes, the ignorant, cruel voters are the problem. The Republicans they elected are as corrupt as the felon, with cowardice & treason in their silence.
The problem with the President of the United States is not that he used the word “retard” in a tweet. The problem is that 77.3 million people voted for him knowing well what he was, is, and would be. No President of any party or religion or region or indeed intellect has been less fit for a vote.

The president is a political cartoon of corruption come to life, a gaudy grifter who is selling off pardons and lining his pockets, building a golden ballroom and protecting his fellow sex predator elites, all the while regular Americans are suffering and struggling to make ends meet.

Run on *that*

Mitch McConnell created this dangerous world by using sleight of hand manipulations to pack the SCOTUS with partisan, unqualified justices, by stopping the 2 impeachments, by letting liars downplay the treason of Jan. 6.
He's the traitor of the our time.

That’s rich coming from the architect. McConnell is just as responsible as Trump. He thought he could still control Trump and the senators, but he got older and Trump got bolder.

No. They. are. not. Republicans only listen to the felon in charge. Instead of wasting time & resources on impeachments that go nowhere, let's get unified Democrats with effective messaging out to voters who aren't paying attention.
Stop saying, "They'll never impeach him." Low expectations grant them permission to continue to do nothing. (Which is a relief to them.)

Demand integrity. Expect better of them. Require them to do their jobs and honor the oaths they swore.

Stop giving them permission.

THEY. ARE. LISTENING.

This article is more fact than opinion. It should be on the front page, not the OpEd section. Here's a reminder to all ICE agents & military commanders, "just following orders" didn't protect any Nazis at Nuremberg.

He's a been a liar as long as we've known him.
Not a word of this is true.

Every Republican accusation is a confession.
“HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL, except those that hate, steal, murder, and destroy everything that America stands for- you won’t be here for long!” the president said.”

Does he realize he’s talking about himself? If only he & his entire regime would leave!

This is the most corrupt, lawless administration in the history of the United States and there’s no close second.

There is seriously something wrong with the voters. They all knew who he was when then didn't support the decent, compassionate, & competent people running against him.
He's shown us again & again how bitter & rotten he is to the core. A majority of Americans didn't care. Republicans didn't care.
There is seriously something wrong with this man.

Also, he is devoid of any joy. He is bitter and rotten to the core. This post proves it.

Basically a shit for brains.

The felon is no longer at fault. At this point the blame falls squarely on every Republican coward & traitor who won't stop him. Sit every ignorant American down & explain basic values that built the nation GOP is trying to destroy. Then hope the majority will bother to vote for decent people now.

Turns out that the reminder from Congressional Democrats that members of the military shouldn’t follow illegal orders was timely. Read the details here: open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

“You must refuse illegal orders.” That’s what was said in the video made by six Democratic members of Congress.

The felon has pardoned convicted criminals who caused more suffering than all the undocumented immigrants who've come here to make a better life for themselves with hard work. The felon himself has been indicted for more crimes than all Afghan asylum seekers have committed.
