I guess being English must also mean rejecting democracy in favor of Trumpian fascism, which is ironic given the Blitz and Dunkirk and everything else that happened 80 years ago

Here we are today, Donald Trump has done the complete opposite. Gone are the days of appointing people because they are experienced, but instead appointing sycophants. We need to remind people that this is democracy, not the MAGAots that just got elected.

After winning in 1860, Lincoln appointed a cabinet filled with his β€œrivals.” Among those were people who ran against him for the nomination(Seward, Chase, Bates), and others who he had negative interactions with in the past( I.e. Stanton). Despite their differences, he chose them for their abilities

Good point. But I feel like at some point he realized he could attain a tremendous amount of power by using his new toy to help get Trump reelected.

Question to ask, who is the using the other more, Trump or Elon?

Elon bought Twitter for one reason. Nov 2024. Now it is OUR time to start fighting back against the lies and propaganda.

This country is worth fighting for. Debates, discussions, and shaming those who voted for the fascists. Tough love. The country is to important.

Right here with you. Gotta play tough defense for the next 4 years, but maybe the liberal movement will be even stronger when we get to the end of the tunnel.

Gotta tone down the rhetoric, even if the other side laughs about investigating people in their own party for not supporting Gaetz. Just imagine what they have in store for us.

Gotta tone it down though.

This. Nothing is making them happier than seeing some like Gaetz or Gabbard in the cabinet. Or the chaos that will ensue. This is what they wanted.

We must remember millions of Trump voters weren’t β€œMAGA,” and can be β€œwoken up.”
