Well said and exactly right. I’m a lesbian, and I just won a school board election against a Moms for Liberty type incumbent in the most conservative area in our county. I did it by wearing out a pair of shoes knocking on doors, including in the very rural part of my area which most people ignore. I talked with people while helping them fix fences, I found commonalities and built relationships, and I let them know I heard them. I won by over 10 points. I continued to run a clean campaign even after she outed me and accused me of being a union puppet. Putting in the work and making connections matters.
These lessons should be coming from House and Senate leadership. Given the ongoing senior leadership void, it's heartening to see junior Congresspeople stepping forward.
I'm with you..."catastrophizing in advance" is unproductive.
Thank you for this. I will not give in. If things get really bad and everybody gets out in the street ALL OVER THE COUNTRY, they might get the hint. A peaceful protest of course. They won’t shoot all of us.
Elections happen in a democracy. The stupid are largely shot out, out of ammunition. Their best thoughts are hallucinations about nonsense. We actually did pretty well fighting COVID, with big wins, considering we were safer with our antivirals and vaccines than a busload of cheerleaders in Matt Gates’ district.
The elections are over and the contract is awarded. They actually have to perform. They’re showing us that they can’t.
Hitler took over Germany, but we ain’t Germany. The teams are set. In the dodgeball match, they’re picking the most unfit players. Let’s go.
When are we going to stand up and protect ourselves from this evil man? He knows we’re all going to sit around flapping our gums as he marches through and razes the country. The little snotty nosed playground bully and his pasty buddy have us against the fence. And we’re harrumphing. The indignity. That behavior is why we’re at this point now.
It’s like shouting into the wind.
Get Obama to advise Biden. There are no rules, no norms, no traditions, no high road, and there never will be again.
He needs to go away. I don’t care where he goes, as long as it’s not the WH. That’s still ours for a little while.
At this point I think f'n MITCH needs to advise Biden!!! I'm kinda not kidding. WE NEED SOME SERIOUS HARDBALL/OFFENSE. Even my DEM friends are wishy-washy about making ANY NOISE - squeamish about PUSHBACK - WHAT??? UNBELIEVABLE... And Rump is laughing ALL THE WAY to the (world) bank - OH and just help yourself, LEON (Geezus)!!!!
THAT SAID - We were NOT just running against the re-fried mr rump.... OUR candidates WERE RUNNING AGAINST SCOTUS, KOCH INDUSTRIES, 18 BILLIONAIRES, LEONARD LEO, THE HERITAGE FOUNDATION, FOR-PROFIT MSM (all owned by R DONORS), BEZOS, MURDOCH, MUSk, DARK MONEY (CRYPTO) - NOT TO MENTION XI, PUTIN, KSA (+Netty / GAZA)- anything/anyone else? STOP OVER-SIMPLIFYING THIS, PLEASE. Harris and Walz did FANTASTIC and likely WON this thing - only WE don't even have the stomach to demand a F'N HAND RECOUNT OF THE STATES / POLLING PLACES THAT HAD RUSSIAN BOMB SCARES (per FBI)! I literally GIVE UP d-ammit. Harris and Walz busted their *sses and we don't even have their backs. After Rs just screamed in our faces for 4 SOLID YEARS denying a perfectly legit election that they LOST. my g-d... WE. HAVE LEARNED. NOTHING. It's about putting up a fight so voters SEE YOU FIGHTING for at least SOMETHING.
I'm sure as heck not "obeying in advance". But I find it alarming, in my own personal circles, when I hear folks refusing to believe that Trump will try and burn it all down. We need remain vigilant , get involved and care about what is going on. What will it take for people to care and pay attention?
Someone said that we (the people) are weaker this time… he’s been so normalized by the msm - and we’ve been groomed to accept A TON more bs than in 2016 - wearing ppl down :/
Today the federal government has taken bold action to prevent an existential threat to the homeland. The FBI, in cooperation with DOJ, has executed a series of raids on people engaged in illegal cooperation with our foreign adversaries.
My administration has also undertaken a massive investigation into the results of the election - not just the results, but how the American people were systematically lied to in a way that benefitted our enemies, and billionaires.
What we know is that the Russian government, under the direction of Vladimir Putin, called in a series of bomb threats to election locations. We will undertake a hand recount in every state that was affected to ensure the integrity of the vote.
Moreover, the damaging effect of propaganda funded and directed by our adversaries, including Elon Musk, on the American people cannot be overstated. To that end, I have directed that X, which was purchased by Elon Musk and blatantly used to interfere with the election, be seized, along with the rest of his assets, including SpaceX and Tesla to prevent further damage to our citizens.
The federal government will not allow, much less subsidize, a man who would threaten our democracy.

Donald Trump and a number of his co-conspirators have been arrested for Treason against the United States. The evidence is public. You don’t have to search for it. As Maya Angelou said: “When they tell you who they are, believe them.”
I know these may seem like extreme steps, but I have to level with the American people and most importantly to defend you. That was my solemn oath when you elected me - and I’ll be damned if I’m the president that hands over our nation to our enemies.

Love this and congratulations!!
Congratulations. You are a true inspiration 💙

Seems like a real ‘roll over’ bias…?! It’s scary!
AGREE! Where is the vigilance and any SENSE OF URGENCY????

My fellow Americans,
Today the federal government has taken bold action to prevent an existential threat to the homeland. The FBI, in cooperation with DOJ, has executed a series of raids on people engaged in illegal cooperation with our foreign adversaries.
My administration has also undertaken a massive investigation into the results of the election - not just the results, but how the American people were systematically lied to in a way that benefitted our enemies, and billionaires.
What we know is that the Russian government, under the direction of Vladimir Putin, called in a series of bomb threats to election locations. We will undertake a hand recount in every state that was affected to ensure the integrity of the vote.
Moreover, the damaging effect of propaganda funded and directed by our adversaries, including Elon Musk, on the American people cannot be overstated. To that end, I have directed that X, which was purchased by Elon Musk and blatantly used to interfere with the election, be seized, along with the rest of his assets, including SpaceX and Tesla to prevent further damage to our citizens.

America is not going anywhere. Thank you.
