I absolutely agree. However, we should also be preparing for Trump to do this anyway regardless of the facts. How may times has MAGA and the GOP disregarded facts? IMO, we should do what Robert says her for now. However, we should be preparing for the very real possibility the act will come anyway.

08.10.2025 02:12 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Well then isn't it long past time we started preparing to end this and actually win? Why are we not preparing to fight? Who is going to stop him if not us? The Congress? The Courts?
07.10.2025 03:47 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0And so governor if you believe this, what are you doing to prepare to fight back? Are we going to sit back and let him do this?
07.10.2025 03:44 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0And when does it become the right of the people- the real Americans- to remove him by whatever means are necessary? If we won't fight, we will lose this republic. Trump is not a legitimate POTUS. He has proven that through words and deeds.
07.10.2025 03:40 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Senator, Democrats should get to the root of the problem with all of this inflation. Balance the federal budget and stop the Fed from buying US debt with newly printed money.
06.10.2025 04:02 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Yes, now Trump and Miller are trying to intimidate her. Sad.
06.10.2025 04:01 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 1 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Yes, we know trickle down economics doesn't work. Where does all of this currency originate from? It originates because the Fed keeps buying government debt with newly created money. This is why we have such mal-distribution of wealth. Without this mechanism, inflation would be 10x lower.
06.10.2025 03:59 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0The economic conditions caused by outrageous government deficits have left about 1/3 of the country with very low IQs looking for someone to blame. Trump has used this to his advantage. Government deficits cause inflation, asset bubbles and mal-distribution of wealth.
06.10.2025 03:57 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Anyone who believes MAGA is going to give up power is not facing reality. One a fascist party consolidates power, there are no historical examples where it has been peacefully removed. If we will not fight, we will lose. The opposition should be organizing for this possibility.

It doesn't take a majority. A determined minority that is large enough will overcome an apathetic majority. The Bolsheviks did as did the Nazis.

04.10.2025 21:31 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0I agree that demographics is part of the issue, but if most people were able to participate in economic prosperity there would be less radicalism on both sides. People are radicalized when they have no stake in the social order and inflation breeds a haves and have not type of society.
04.10.2025 18:42 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0I agree with most everything said here. However, when are we going to address the root cause of Trump's rise? That root cause is affordability and inflation. Inflation in America at these levels is caused by only one thing- government deficits. If this continues, the next Trump will be worse.
03.10.2025 23:16 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0IMO, Democrats should think long and hard about the conviction that big government is always a good thing. While a competent and efficient government is indeed a good thing, we often get neither. Now, that government is controlled by a dictator and white supremacists.
03.10.2025 01:27 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0Senator, I respect people like Gandhi. However, I do not believe the peaceful approach always works. What if India had been colonized by the Germans instead of the English. Would Gandhi's approach have worked on the Nazis?
02.10.2025 21:19 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0It is sad that these men represent the last real POTUSs. Remember, dear leader told his MAGA supporters they never needed to vote again.
02.10.2025 02:40 โ ๐ 2 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0The government is shutdown over healthcare Senator? Why not shut it down because we have a dictator who just addressed the military and called on them to attack us 'the enemy within'. Democrats are delusional. This is how we wound up with Trump and this is how we are losing our republic.

Workers in blue states should go to their HR departments and increase their deductions, dependents etc. Send as little money to the federal government as possible. You could owe a tax bill at the end of the year- just don't spend the extra money.

This doesn't the normal way. Pandora is way out of the box. We can put it back in but it won't be free or even cheap. America cannot go back to what it was before the fascists took over. They will not leave peacefully. The question is what are we going to do about it?

30.09.2025 19:27 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0We should be preparing to do our part. This fight is not going to be won from behind a keyboard. Trump has declared war on his political enemies. I say we believe him. Not every military unit will obey him. Those who win these types of conflicts write the history.
30.09.2025 19:15 โ ๐ 2 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0When are you folks going to realize that this does not end in the normal way. There is no way America goes back to what it was before Trump. The fascists have been let loose and are in fact in control of the government. If we won't fight, we will be rolled over.
30.09.2025 19:07 โ ๐ 2 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Remember that the US military was chased out of Iraq by lightly armed insurgents. Every army unit would not obey Trump. If the opposition believes we get out of this without a fight, it is being too optimistic.
