seniors, veterans,

small businesses,

families of immigrants,

young people,

veterans,

former Republicans,

Republican prosecutors,

Republican Senators that retired

Leaving Trump. Disgusted. Betrayed. Unafraid.

Now is the time to establish the fact that this government has slid into illegitimacy and lacks any kind of popular support.

They’re going to insist their puny 35% gives them a mandate for organized crime and kleptocracy.

It’s so stupid.

This is exactly what I witnessed in my own cohort. Not everyone could march that wished to. Brother in law can’t walk, I was on duty at work. Others had concerns for safety. Etc. History unfolding.

I refer to the entire society - not to a gerrymandered election.

75 million were Dem. 25 million independents voted Trump. He’s lost them.

Plus 25 million non-voters (out 90 million) regret blowing their vote. (My guess.)

Then we have Republican defectors: 10 million minimum. At least. Then we add every other man woman and child. We are there. 200 million

I’m talking about the entire society

- voters, non-voters , immigrants, families every walk of life, housed or unhoused, every language every community every level of ability

to declare in some way the illegitimacy of this government

No Confidence.

That’s 150-200 million. Easily.

Declaring No Confidence is not treason.

They’re still utterly failing to regulate the ICE militia as the constitution unequivocally demands

and theyve had centuries to work on it.

When you have bad plumbing it backs up and seeps and stinks and rots the foundation

and then they fall through the floor.

That’s the executive branch right now.

No Democrats are involved in toppling this thing at all. The Republicans do it themselves.

I can back that up. Where is Congress right now? Who controls SCOTUS?

Call it Illegitimate Government now!

That’s the ballgame.

Costs nothing.

Unless you believe Trump has β€œideas” everything we are seeing is a think tank- not a government.

There is no level on which Republicans can be said to be a legitimate governing party

with the disruption of federal agencies and the violations of the civil rights of all persons in the United States under ilegal immigration enforcement

and now a disbanded Congress in the thrall of a dictator.

There is NO sense in which Republicans can be regarded as defending the Constitution of the United States.

That was they one rule they took an oath before their god to follow unconditionally, on their own decision.

No one forced them.

And now they’re screwed. Piracy is not a legitimate thing.

An absolute mandate against the Trump Administration abuses is building every day.

So when they mess with elections we know right now where the public stands.

It’s not a mystery. People aren’t scratching their heads trying to figure out how they feel about Trump/Vance.

β€œIf a president does it, it must be legal.”

President Nixon, explaining the criminal mindset of the Republican establishment

People actually bought this. It’s a thing.

Trump Administration:

Sliding down a greasy skid to illegitimacy.

An authoritarian government is a blight- a cancer on the political life of the nation.

The Trump Administration moment by moment moves ever deeper into illegitimacy.

Money Laundering 101

Conundrum, if you will:

A ballroom is mostly empty space, and yet it costs …$250 million. Really? Drapes? Chandeliers? Huh?

See where I’m going here?

The Republican Party thinks it’s immune from implosion. While we see it hanging off a crag by its fingernails.

Even after it was taken over by an old fashioned two bit grifter. A flim-flam man.
