A reminder that everytime you get upset at Trump & Musk that you should also be upset with the Democrats that got us here.

    unless of course you’d rather not learn from mistakes

    Wow, I’m keeping this one in my vault of funny. Yes, let’s look at the guy who isn’t president right now to see why in a month from taking over, the current president is doing an inside coup.

      Looking at the context of trump getting into office is part of how we address this. It’s still fairly likely that there’s gonna be an election in 2028 – going in with an understanding of what went wrong in 2024 only benefits us.

      This attitude that we can only talk about immediate day to day events, that talking about strategy and constructively criticizing where Democrats fall short in responding to the Republicans – that only hurts us, dooms us to the same mistakes we’ve already made. It helps Trump and his cronies.

        So you agree with me about the inside coup part, cool. I’m glad we are making headway on that part. How about we focus on putting out the fire of the inside coup part before we look forward to 4 years in the future? When someone takes over and dismantles your entire democracy, that’s usually a priority.

          Alright then. I’d like to see democrats be as obstinate to trump’s policies as we’ve seen Republicans be when Dems are in office. If democrats are serious about this, they need to pull support and funding from party members who can’t toe the line, like Senator Fetterman who broke with the party to pass the Republican’s budget.
