Historian Jon Me…" Historian Jon Meacham reminds us what’s at stake for America’s future.America isn’t broken—but it is being tested. Historian Jon Meacham calls it a moral crisis: too often, fear and ego override the rule of law and what Lincoln called our “better angels.”The founders anticipated moments like this—times when ambition and anxiety could outweigh principle. Frederick Douglass, born into slavery, never lost faith in America’s promise. He saw the Constitution as a users guide and the Declaration of Independence as our mission statement—a reminder of what this country can be if we rise to the challenge.This experiment is fragile. Its survival is not guaranteed. The question we must ask ourselves is simple: what will the future say about us?The tools are already here. Courage, care, and collective action are what it takes to protect what matters.#Politics #America #History #Constitution

Trump didn't win 50% of the popular vote.

The GOP has slim margins in both the House and Senate.

His approval ratings are tanking.

He does not have a mandate.

Do not let him gaslight you into believing he is all powerful.

He's not.

Democrats should boycott Trump's address tonight.

If they feel they need to attend, they must not signal to the nation that we're living in normal times.

Make good and loud trouble. Disrupt the speech. When he lies, boo loudly!

Anything less will legitimize Trump’s coup.

The Alpha Leadership Lie Gold chains. Cage fights. Tech-bro swagger. Is this leadership? Real leaders build trust, not fear. The best teams follow strength, not dominance. Who would you rather follow?
