This Holiday Season, Remind your MAGA family members, who are angry at Trump, that Liberals can't fix this for them
Dems literally have no power in all 3 branches of Gov.
The Fix HAS to come from Republicans themselves. They are the majority and Trump will listen to no one else.
Encourage them.

RealPage allegedly helped landlords price-fix and jack up the cost of rent.
Instead of cracking down, Trump's Justice Department struck a “deal” that lets them continue to rip off renters.
Is that the art of the deal or a sham? RealPage called it "an endorsement."
