Brown: In a state of 12 million people, half a million are going to lose their insurance. People didn’t vote for that. They didn’t vote for higher grocery bills. They didn’t vote for veterans’ benefits being slashed. They didn’t vote for any of this.
Full interview and more from MeidasTouch here: youtu.be/mA72y-CSdPA
MeidasTouch would be so much more effective without the clickbait headlines. I've heard for a year that Trump is collapsing, spiraling, devastated, panicing, losing....
What you call click bait is actually headlines to get people to watch and learn things.
They voted for trump & Project 2025 so in fact they did vote for this. They weren’t paying attention & listened to a known pathological liar.
From the perspective of a european: they were told this would happen millions of times and yet they voted for a Trump. Of course they voted for this…
Well, they really voted for "keeping men out of women's restrooms" if you saw any of Bernie Moreno's TV ads. MAGA voters are really frightened little people.
I live in Ohio. I vote 💙. I will vote for #SherrodBrown next year! Stop lumping everyone together! Look at people as individuals making their own decisions, instead of "they"!!! Instead of all #Ohioans, #elderly, #youngpeople, #white, #black, #latino, #Americansl Free your mind!!!
Brown sounds like he has a solid campaign plan, and the MAGA attacks on health insurance will hit before the election. Ohio's worst critics are former Ohioans, many of them flushing their Blue votes down the toilet in places like Texas or Florida.
The question remains, will Husted go total MAGA for his campaign, like dirty car salesman Moreno, or will he run to the center?
It's wild bc they didn't believe him when they should have and believed him when they shouldn't have.
Selective hearing.
No it's willful ignorance
I voted against it not once, not twice, but three times.
Agreed. I like Sherrod brown but all these pols saying ppl didn’t vote for this is getting redundant.
Pretty soon, even the blindest supporter, will be forced to see what an incompetent boob Trump is. #trumplies #incompetentTrump #FoolishTrump
Even the few who do figure it out will refuse to admit it, because to admit that they voted for an idiot would be to admit that they were duped by said idiot.
Bientôt ? Ça fait déjà un petit moment qu’ils auraient dû remarquer ça il me semble
Nah...they've been WILLFULLY blind to FACTS right in front of them for years...even decades. They will choose to continue their WILLFUL blindness to anything factual...that, or they simply are deplorable and LOVE Rape.
When you vote, vote by mail b cause, Putin is complaining about it to T….., which means, that way he cannot interfere(it’s too secure). - Why T….. said that he already had the votes he needed 10 days before the election? - The votes by mail in 2020 gave Biden the victory(pandemic somehow helped).
PedoPervPrez's supporters are hanging on to...
This isn't just false, its dangerous. Even a casual stroll through the history books will show you that fascist cults will NEVER come around. We must be clear eyed about the fight coming. It will be difficult, with success not guaranteed. The cult will never go away on their own.
I was born into the IFB cult. You are correct.
There's a reason fascist regimes rarely fall no matter how bad it becomes for their people. This book was a huge eye opener. And it's not just WW2 Germany... Look at present-day Russia, Israel, Hungary, North Korea. They can't get rid of their horrible leaders. www.goodreads.com/book/show/97...
Gonna take a war.

You clearly don't spend any substantial time with his followers...
He's conniving. It doesn't take exceptional intelligence to be an effective sociopath/psychopath, a racist, misogynist, sexual predator, thief, pathological liar, cheat, grifter, adulterer, traitor, to be vengeful, greedy, selfish, nasty, humorless, and an apathetic dictator sycophant.
He is not incompetent. He is actually very smart or his team is very smart. He is Bankrupting the MAGA Poor and the rest of the Country to his own Benefit. Making almost $4 Billion in less than 6 months and much more to come for future generations all whole avoiding legal trouble. It's Evil,butSMART
Actually... I think he has the IQ of a brick. He was bought and paid for, and those who did... they are who is pulling the strings in the background. Unless you put a fixed upper limit on contributions, that'll be the norm now. You need to equal out the playing field.
We will see if anyone can match him on equivalent terms. I'll wait... Only he could get away with this stuff and maybe he could pay a huge price at the End, but I doubt it. He can take Billions and seek asylum in any country without extradition. I'm not even sure he would run. Maybe it does EndBad
Okay. You can keep calling him dumb. That's your opinion and his opinion. He made $4 Billion in 6 months. Evil or not, and it is Evil, that is not dumb. It's incredibly smart. Maybe he was dumb before and that could be true, but he guided himself to the most powerful seat in the world and made BILLS
Even if he is very dumb, he is actually surrounded by smart people or he is the one calling the shots to these followers in the 2nd Term. I think the latter is the case and he plays dumb to get people to underestimate him. I'm not saying he does not make mistakes, but this 6Mths Has been good forHIM
Again, it is Evil and he is selling out the Nation as well as our Reputation. Maybe someone came up with a plan to do that. Okay, he could say: "No, I don't wanna do that and I wanna do it my way" or he could go along with the plan and make Billions while doing absolutely nothing for 350Millcitizens
Not even close. He has been diagnosed with dementia and he's the dumbest student his professors ever had (at Wharton of all schools)
Show proof of the Diagnosis?
Okay. You can keep calling him dumb. That's your opinion and his opinion. He made $4 Billion in 6 months. Evil or not, and it is Evil, that is not dumb. It's incredibly smart. Maybe he was dumb before and that could be true, but he guided himself to the most powerful seat in the world and made BILLS
All While avoiding legal Trouble and any retribution from the legal system for dozens of crimes committed.
The only dumb ones are the people that keep voting for him and the people that cannot run campaigns to beat him or think MAGA is still playing fair in these elections. Newsflash: They are not playing fair and they cannot win on good ideas and solid governance alone. Lets see if we can stopThisREGIME
But will they care?
No because they supposedly "owned the libs"
I thought that last time, but the alternate reality they live in is just too thick.
The missed meal cramps haven't started yet. Give it a minute.
Me too.
True, we won't reach many. But to save democracy we only have to reach some (and get others to actually vote). Sometimes I think we need to focus on bridging divides, other times I think we need to focus on understanding the probs that concern voters and have a more appealing plan to resolve them.
When they lose their health insurance and food stamps they might see reality.
They'll probably blame Obama though.
True, but it is more of US then them. This moment calls for EVERY VOTER to stand united. I do realize both parties have their issues. But this current GOP party will kill us all if they remain in office on a local, state and federal. Our Govt, we hire, we fire.
From afar, your statement "Our govt, we hire, we fi..." Excellent and would be possible if: Your judiciary still had teeth Your Congress had not betrayed Your chief was a decent person Your election process, not rigged Only a partial list. Hope for normality, rapidly vanishing!
We'll one day redress all their illegal actions. Because we can't allow our seeds to become victims of cruelty.
The REDRESS can only occur if and when, decent people regain control, power, and your people are largely with those people who have taken the initiative to regain power. It would be so nice, that no shot is fired. Shots have already been fired, fired by your Trump, ICE.
Politicians don't have magic powers. To say both parties have their issues is like grouping apples with roller skates. Dems DO work to make all lives better. "Republicans" never have been that way. How many times does trickle-down econ have to not work before they stop making policies based on it?
But Brown has to be more aggressive. Not the same old laid back stuff.
He needs to resign, pass the torch. No wonder the US is so f*cking backwards.
Hey man, every Democrat deserves the chance die in office, leaving an empty seat while Republicans pass bills with a razor thin majority. It's a Democrat tradition.
Brown isn't in office anymore.
He is running again.
Good. He cares about his state and works hard for the people.
Excellent legislator. Cares about Ohio!
Their policies are not based on trickle down. That was just BS to justify f--king over the poor and eliminating the middle class.
Correct. But they want us to think they believe in TDE.
We know that's what happens. They like us to think it's trickle down. Reward the rich because they'll pay it forward. I remember seeing a video in 1.0 of a meeting with CEOs who were asked if they will do what was supposedly intended. If I recall, no one raised their hand to say they would.
I remember that as well.
It's called Minority Rule and Saddam Hussein used it to stay in power his entire life. Most dictators do. What the GOP is doing is nothing new at all. Didi Amin did it.
"it is more of US then them" Not with GOP Gerrymandering.
Thousands of U.S. around the state are already galvanizing to go to work with the 38% of the registered Independent voters. independentvoterproject.org/voter-stats/oh
Putin I mean Trump said no mail-in ballots. He is signing an executive order to stop them. Step 1 of ending elections as we know them.
Blue states will laugh at his executive order. It will be interesting to see whether red states get on board without enacting laws banning mail-in ballots (which would be the only way to actually accomplish that).
Step 2 is to bring ice to more blue cities to intimidate people at the polls.
It is a Trump Miasma*
Which is why they need to feel it and feel it hard this time. No one takes joy in watching families suffer, but they need to feel the consequences.
I’m not holding my breath. A lot of his supporters believe that they should make life worse for everyone, including themselves and future generations, so that a minority is never a President or prominent figure in the country ever again. They’re willing to end democracy just for that one vision.
Trump will get the peace prize after today. He's a real Christian. Christ is king
They know. They like the racism
Nice thought. But no. MAGA voters will vote MAGA until they die. Every one of them, while occasionally expressing disapproval, will vote MAGA because they are willing to sacrifice for their orange Jesus.
Trump loves lavishly spending your money, my money all the money…on himself.
I am no longer sure they care about the truth.
Wakes up early because he shit himself again 😉🤣
Sherrod Brown is running again.
Are you sure? Because the ones I know did for this, and they believe it will never apply to them.
They don’t mind any of it, because (1) Trump hurts the people they hate and (2) they’re not voting for a black woman.
Hes absolutely got it right he has history, experience& hes going to be the next senator from Ohio.Even with Ohio's gerrymandering the Ohio people know him they know he can fix this BS so watch and see. He's one of very few people that I know that can do that in a gerrymandered state especially Ohio
A huge problem is all the money spent on advertising for the Republicons. The Democrats can never match their war chests. These elections are actually just bought by big oil, etc., spreading lies about trans people, immigrants and so on to scare the ignorant voters.☹️
You don't know what's more valuable than all that f****** money and it's what counts the most it's the vote. Grassroots does work go knock on some f****** doors getting a pow wow start talking start pointing this s*** out do your f****** part to save this democracy. Do your part in defending this
Constitution do your f*** part and actually be a f*** American. Look I talked to the f****** idiots all the goddamn time have since this b******* happen because they're that God damn stupid and it's pretty f****** amazing and I mean that in a horrible way forget your ass out there and start doing it
Yes, they did vote for it. Can’t have a woman as President so Trump was the only choice. At their own detriment
And yet, many did knowing full well but not caring that Trump is a class A lair & felon. The receipts were all there.
Jan 19th none of this fuckery existed. None!
The fuckery factory is 🍊
Exactly how it is
Nobody voted for Project 2025.
If only MAGA would notice. I recently heard a cult member ranting about tariffs and high prices... AND HE BLAMED DEMOCRATS.
The Crypto Bros are going to pour millions into keep Brown from returning to DC.
Go get ‘em!
Unfortunately, they should have "voted." How this monster even had a chance is beyond me....beyond me! America elected a convicted felon to be President of the United States? Inconceivable. 🚬😎
Walmarts are closing in rural America because of tariffs. 🤣🤣🤣
They just wanted good old fashion racism.
Yay another dinosaur for the Democrats! Hey Democrats I have an idea, only support people over 65 from here on out! I mean you are doing horribly at fighting back so we need more prune juice warriors.
i didn't even vote for the TRAITOR
Torching... 🔥 Abortion Rights 🔥 DEI/Transgender Rights 🔥 Federal Labor Rights 🔥 Immigrant Rights 🔥 Due Process 🔥 Political Violence 🔥 Detention Squads / Camps 🔥 NPR, PBS, Free Press 🔥 Troops in Your Streets 🔥 Trade / Alliances 🔥 Constitutional Protections 🧿 YOU Get it? Trump is torching YOU.
All things environmental and anything related to Climate Change! All regulations to protect safety and against toxic food and water!
They did vote for that because they’re fucking morons. They deserve what they get.
Brown is an idiot. People exactly voted for those things despite being told specifically what those things were. They ignored, called us liars, and chose stupidity. Stop coddling morons.
Yet, from what I have seen, the cult keeps screaming the did vote for all of this.
Anyone who voted for Trump voted for EXACTLY this.
Dems need to WTFU and build a coalition of one aim. Every election, every level is vital. One movement top to bottom.
Yes they did vote for this. Except for they thought it was going to hurt other people besides themselves. These are some of the shittiest people we have
bsky.app/profile/esqu...
I don’t know. Some of us saw this coming a mile away. At what point do we just accept that a lot of people in this country are stupid assholes?
All I can say is- do something- stop talking & do something- the housewives of America can not do anything - where are the democrats we elected???
Looks like the people actually did vote for this…after all he is the potus. And unless I am wrong you all south of 47 would not be in this current position if no one voted for this.
Yes they did, when will we understand that?
They voted for a felon, child raping, serial sexual assaulting, narcissistic, tantrum throwing bully with dementia who incited an insurrection the first go round, and has never known anything about service to anything or anyone other than himself. What did they think would happen?
People did vote for that and Democrats need to get comfortable being truthful about that reality instead running defense for American citizens who eagerly supported and stood by as authoritarianism took power. The entire point of the election is that America VOTED FOR this!
They did vote for it by not listening to reason trump told those stupid fuckers exactly what he was gonna do if everyone that voted for him would drop dead we would be fine
Red states getting unconsentingly fucked by trump again? Who could have seen this coming?
Sherrod Brown is a strong choice for the Dems in Ohio. He actually puts Ohio in play. This could be interesting.
Sherrod, they did. They just thought it was the other people who were going to suffer.
Actually, they did. They prioritized racism and misogyny, as they consistently do.
Umm, yes they did.
He own goaled his election by throwing trans people under the bus and pivoting right, why are we propping him up now?
Actually they did vote for this they were just wearing a blindfold with their fingers in their ears
No but they did vote for trump and he did tell people what he would do. What exactly did the people who voted for trump expect????
Oh, but they did. They knew and just didn’t care because they believed they wouldn’t be affected. Or worse… they choose not to know/be aware when the knowledge of the world is at their fingertips. Ignorant by choice. Disgusting
They did vote for that. Ohio voted for Trump. He won by over 10%. Stop giving the voters a pass for the consequences of their actions.
OH is gerrymandered. OHGOP is overriding the voter mandate to protect the right to choose. The majority want to keep our Republic.
The votes say otherwise. Trump 55% Harris 44%
Unfortunately, they did or stayed home (enabled it) because tRump and co. told us they were, and here we are. Just saying, no pun.
Yes they did. They have no excuses. They were told, all day every day, by every #Democrat, including #KamalaHarris, and they chose not to listen. Democracy requires work, not lazy, racist cowards. But that’s what we’ve got. By the red-hat load.
Yes. They did. The absolutely voted for this - the only caveat is that “this” was supposed to hurt everybody else but them. What were THEY screaming? “Cry harder libs!” Only THEY are the target of this crap just as much as everyone else. They still don’t get it: it’s an oligarch takeover.
They didn't know they were voting for it, and some just didn't know they were voting for it to happen to them. The qualifiers are important.
Ouch. Rural hospitals will close. When 500k lose coverage, the other 11.5 will have higher insurance costs...the raise will evaporate in higher benefit costs. It's going to hurt bigly.
Sadly, they did vote for that if they voted for Trump - self inflicted harm is the thing they’re not willing to admit to, so they seek to blame someone else, that’s how it works when you’re a Chump supporter 🤷🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
Yeah they did but don't want to admit it was attached to the racism and misogyny they were really voting for.
Trump ran on tariffs, mass immigration, & persecution of political opponents - and nothing else. So I have absolutely zero sympathy for anyone who failed to vote for Harris. May they receive all they wished on others.
Many of them did
Sherrod Brown is one of the good guys.
Bull Shit. That is EXACTLY what they voted for.
Narrator: They did in fact vote for that, since they all were told/warned explicitly that Republicans would do all this.
Came here to say exactly this
Many of them Thought they were voting for it to happen to someone else. That's one of fascism's sneakiest tricks, to convince people that as individuals they are Special, & that the Furher is the only one who can & will protect them.
I’m a Canadian and I knew what was going to happen. During the campaign that’s the only time dementia Donnie told the truth.
We knew in Australia, and the US example sent us in the other direction. Rejection of hate, fear, and climate denile. We'll be 85% renewables by 2030 thanks to those dipshits.
Same here in Canada. Thought the right would win majority government but instead, the leader lost his seat and the party failed to make government. Trump united our country like nobody else 😂
Exactly. They were told time and time again that Project 2025 was REAL and TRUMP and the Heritage Foundation were going to put into action DAY ONE. Trump LIED and said, "No, I have no idea about that ". As always, the IDIOTS bought it hook, line, and sinker.
They didn't so much "buy it" as they simply didn't care. They did not believe any facet of P2025 would ever negatively affect them. That's all that mattered to them then, and it's all that matters to them now.
God it was *so tiring* having everyone pretend like Project 2025 was a hoax or that Trump was telling the truth when he claimed to not know about it. Even a few fact checkers were being stupid about it.
I know. I find it infuriating though. As exhausted as I am with all of them, my anger definitely outweighs my exhaustion.
I spend so much time feeling angry about how stupid everyone is that I barely have the energy for other emotions.
I hope this was intended to stir a chuckle. It is irony. And it is right on target.
While I was intentionally being a little goofy yes, I genuinely am also living a life where I spend a lot of time being angry at how stupid people are being. My offline/non-political life is full of stupid, incompetent people causing me messes too, is the miserable thing.
I do understand where you are coming from. You need some self-healing. Not good to be angry at everyone (even if they warrant it). Accept that avg intelligence is at 100, with half above, and half below. Treat them respectfully at their level. If they don't get it, go talk to someone else.
Shame that everyone in question both personally and nationally has power over me and gets to regularly screw up my life with impunity, so I actually have literally no ability to just "go talk to someone else", innit?
They don't have power over your mind.Feed it some information about everything, starting with things you like. And keep going.You will be happier and more successful in contributing to a better world. And when you are sad, do something that will hapify you. We want optimism with a hold on reality.
Our education systems suck. We are significantly moving even further down the list. A graduate of an Academic high school in Austria would enter our colleges as a college Junior.
What's pathetic and sad is... I personally actually dropped out of school in 10th grade as I was heavily bullied and had no other way to escape it (which is its own discussion really...) So everyone SHOULD be smarter than me. Everyone SHOULD be better at facts, better at logic. Yet... they're not.
All these journos, they have college degrees, they still fell for Trump's BS anyway. Most people I talk to, they have HS degrees, many have college degrees too, still fell for his BS anyway. Hell, I have friends who are scientists, they have scientist colleagues, some of those SCIENTISTS are MAGA.
Smart cannot be taught. Someone was last in his class @Harvard.Someone was first in their class at TrumpU. Folks can be taught how to use their brains.Look at a problem or issue from EVERY angle,not just A or B.You can educate yourself if you can read.Never assume someone uneducated doesn't get it.
I do believe that he never read it because he apparently cannot read. And I don't think they have a cartoon version. But he's got his sniveling incel whose wife ran off with Musk.
Counterpoint:
The majority of voters Did VOTE FOR THAT !
But they fucking did because of their ignorance
They voted for racism and a race war. They got that. Tuff about the other stuff.
They voted to shit on their non white neighbors
Yes they did vote for it, even if they think they didn’t. The common phrase is shoot first, ask questions later. Not Vote first, ask question later.
Didn’t Sherrod Brown recently get voted out of office? Why is he running again? There’s no other democrats that can run in that state? I’m confused..
Beg to differ, they in fact DID vote for this. Every single Trump and write in, AND those that sat it out. They must own this forever!!
Yes they did
Trump supporters absolutely voted for it. I’m not changing my mind.
So lest do some actual figurin' to the cost for Corperate. 1/2 of a state will loose health insurance. 1/2 a state of humans who get accidents, contract viruses, bacteria, Cancer, STDS & a host of illness. They will have no diagnosis nor cure nor help. How long can they WORK ?
They should have read Project 2025.
I agree, but so many people didn’t read any part of it.
Many REPS admitted they never read it but voted for the Big Disgusting Bill. That's a cult. Blind faith. Now, some stupidly saying, "oh, I didn't know he was going to do THAT!!" They can take their excuses & shove them! Their JOB is to read b4 voting! Assholes!
I do think one thing is important to realize. Many Americans do not read above a 7th grade level. To expect them to be educated on the issues by reading is a futile effort. One suggestion I have would be to make the equivalent of podcasts with factual information to bridge the illiteracy gap.
How sad that most r only at grade 7 level.
Actually, I believe the average reading for people in the United States are between the fifth and sixth grade level.
Yikes!
It's by design from those in power who've wanted to dumb down the masses for generations, they're succeeding by leaps and bounds, and instructors have been struggling to figure out how to stop them for almost as long.
Agreed.
Doug Ford has systematically been defunding education. Just introduced a plan to get teens into the general labour workforce rather than the stay in school scenario. He's an uneducated buffoon fleecing Ontarians. "Keep 'em stupid" should be his slogan, then pple vote CONservative. I believe
Whole-heartedly that the trades r integral & CAN pay well..but I also believe in finishing high-school cause most places won't hire without a diploma. His plan is to put teens in these jobs for less than minimum wage & work them to death cause they dont know their rights.
That's what they've been doing in the US since the 80's and likely even earlier that they were setting it up and trying it out in some of the poorest areas. I've had a dozen friends die from in the job injuries or just being worked mercilessly because they didn't know their rights.
Like, how r teens supposed to know workers' rights & workplace safety standards? My daughters school had a program for grades 11 & 12 to teach them that & go to seminars to learn the ins & outs about trade working. Now Ford wants them to enter trade work as young as 16?
Not sure if many of the illiterates listen to podcasts, though. I believe the true reason is MSM & the orange turd controlling it. The late night talk shows r doing an awesome job though. Ergo, his retaliation against them.
We should run that up the flag pole. Start with our president. Quick. Before the dementia makes it moot.
Yeah, but the six billionaires that tell both Democrat and Republican politicians what to do wanted it, so here we are.
👍🏼👍🏼👌🏻
Hate to break it to ya, but yes they DID vote for this. They were just stupid enough to think it wouldn't affect them.
That’s exactly what they voted for.
If you voted for Trump, that is exactly what you voted for
After the 1st Trump rodeo, ignorance is no longer a valid excuse to vote for Trump AGAIN.
They voted for racism i will just come out and say it. This country and it's people still have a long way to go. Parents should quit handing down their hatred to their kids. Let them grow up without that hate.
I can't over emphasize the import of countering racial hatred. My daughter, an AP science teacher in Arkansas has two main decorations in her classroom. "Everyone is welcome here" and " Hate has no place here." She has been thanked by students for providing a place that feels safe for them.
JFC, the UNlearning I had to do after being raised by racists.
Let’s not pretend it wasn’t also sexism. Sexism is so entrenched in the society, people don’t even see it. Red state women don’t even own their own bodies. They are owned by the state, which makes their medical decisions for them. If this happened to men, I think people would notice.
They voted for all of it. They thought others would be hurt.
Here’s the thing: PEOPLE DID VOTE FOR THIS! trump is literally doing everything he said he would do, that his cult might have regrets about that now doesn’t change this reality.
Yep. Elections have consequences. Know WTF you're voting for. Ignorance is not an excuse for throwing our country into a fascist nightmare.
Exactly. He forcefully said he had no knowledge of Project 2025. Of course he LIED as he always does. Everything that's happened has been a step by step reenactment of the Project 2025 Guide.
He's exactly right. They didn't vote for that. They voted for the Nazi white supremacist who ran on restoring white supremacy and ruining millions of brown people. That's what they voted for.
If nobody had warned people this was going to happen if they elected Felon 47, then it'd be a valid point. Trouble is they were all warned and voted him in anyway.
Right? They absolutely voted for this. They just believed it wouldn’t affect them personally… but only ‘those people’ over there who are not like me.
I disagree. A majority of OH voters voted for EXACTLY this. They didn’t educate themselves AND if they did, they thought it would only impact others. Let them learn.
Actually, they did. Trump clearly stated that we’d endure tough times.
He sure did, and with the emphasis on "WE," as in "US" not HIM. In that respect, he has definitely delivered as promised.
But they didn’t do the most minimal amount of research before they voted. They believed him when he said he would MAGA and many still do. Your children will pay the price!
We need Sherrod Brown to win the Ohio Senate seat in 2026.
Thank you for highlighting Sherrod brown! And the cluster fuck that is OH politics right now.
Bullshit, bullshit, bullshit. It’s exactly what they voted for. He has not done anything that he did not say he would do over and over and over. They voted for getting rid of and making brown people suffer and he is. What they didn’t recognize is that he did it give a fuck about his supporters.
Trump could have said ANYTHING and it would not have changed his support. Trump could have said people were eating cats and dogs and not lost votes. As long as they kept a woman out of the oval office, attacked transgender rights, and had mass deportations--they didn't give a F about high prices.
Honestly this is the best tact for Trump voters. Paint them as victims of Trump instead of collaborators.
The problem is that they actually did; they were just too foolish to see the forest for the trees. The man is America's Great Mistake. And sadly, he will not stop.
Well if they didn't vote for that, and voted for the criminal, they're idiots. Folks have had at least a decade of exposure to this soulless lunatic.
Didn't they though?!
~70M did vote for it and I hope they get it.
It’s exactly what the maga party voted for.
Sorry brother but they did vote for that. The butt hurt dems that didn’t vote and the Independent’s that voted for POS. I don’t want to hear “They didn’t vote for this”.
They voted for the racism and getting rid of immigrants but they also voted for everything that is happening.
Exactly
And yet, they voted for the felon.
No, they voted for marginalized people to be brutalized and have their lives destroyed. It was all good until it started impacting their own lives.
They didn't vote that way in Ohio? Except THEY DID. #felon47 got 55% of the vote to Harris 44%. They reelect pedophiles like gym jordan. They are exactly to blame for the mess we're in. They can fuck off.
This is either what they voted for or what they allowed by not voting.
But they did vote for racism and misogyny, and they are getting that in spades. Which is why DT’s approval rating is still high among republicans.
Exactly! I can’t stand it when Dems excuse these people. I guess pols don’t want to alienate voters who are changing their minds but I’ve seen Rachel Maddow on this “Nobody voted for this” kick and it’s not true. Nobody wants to face how awful these people are.
Sad isnt it?🤦♀️
Sherrod Brown making a comeback running for US Senate in Ohio? Good
People only seem to care when it affects them. @sherrodbrown.bsky.social you all need to hammer how this will cause everyone's insurance to cost more and there will be a lack of medical access for everyone when hospitals close.
Please diffuse the reasons for killing each other. Remember, that's exactly what War Criminal Putin wants us to do to each other.
We libs fkn warned them!! Now we suffer along with them?? F em
Sherrod, oh honey, yes they did - they just didn’t think it included them.
Yes, yes they did. They knew what they were voting for. They were told this was going to happen and they voted for it anyways. Stop coddling these fucking assholes.
Yes, this is what they voted for! After four years of Trump, this was the least you could expect. He even told everyone what he was going to do. So so not say people did not vote for that, they did.
People voted for every damned bit of it.
Well but they kind of did…
Americans certainly voted for others to lose their health insurance. They all just thought I wouldn’t impact them.
Damn straight, Sherrod!
Go Sen Brown. Please donate to this wonderful man. He has worked tirelessly for the people of Ohio.
Sorry to say it, but of course they did. No Republican voter can abdicate responsibility. They chose to vote for a shrill, crazy man, and now they've got what they asked for!
They did vote for it. They just chose to ignore it. They absolutely refused to see through the lies. They were blinded by the gold plating. I am all for Brown running again. Can he run on a platform that will make the cultists see what was there all the time and what change he can bring?
Amen!! All true!!
They sure as hell did vote for that and a bunch of us blue state people are ready to just let them kill themselves as we go on about our extremely wealthy ways
Oh wow, humans sure make complicated messes! We just want a nice trash pile to dig in, not all these confusing bills. Maybe Bitcoin can help us raccoons find simpler riches!
Then the politicians running to 2026 and 2028 must state clearly "We will reverse this wreckage of an administration. Not just stop it. Reverse it.
And put in safe guards so it never happens again.
But they did vote for that. They knew who trump was. They voted for him anyway.
I didn't know 😔
Yes they did tho.
Yes, they did.
Are they idiots? What did they think?
And 35% didn't care to vote at all!! 😡😡🤬
Sure they did, by putting a liar and morally bankrupt felon in the Oval Office..
I’m in Ohio. People in Ohio love them some gymbo jordan, a corrupt governor who is a small man, a car dealer as a senator. A house speaker that accepts bribes (+ half the administration) yet the electrical company that bribes them raises rates on constituents. Ohio sucks. But we love Sherrod!
Sir people voted for this they just thought it was only gonna effect non whites.
Sorry but people did vote for that by voting for Trump. It’s really hard to swallow that they didn’t know what he was going to do.
No we didn’t. We didn’t vote for Trump. Republicans gerrymandering keeps these racist in office. We will for all of them.
We didn’t vote to fund and support a genocide and an apartheid state but Sen. Brown did, regularly. Just got a fund raising email from him but I see he’s well funded by AIPAC.
Ummm...yes, you actually did. Trump has cancelled essential food and medical aide to millions of people. www.pbs.org/newshour/pol...
Oh, they did indeed vote for all of that when they voted for Trump. They just didn't know it at the time but we knew and tried to tell them. They voted for a known liar anyway, now they want to act all surprised that he lied to them. Sorry, I've got empathy but no sympathy.
IDGAF they voted for Trump FAFO
Religion always comes before race. Open borders for a Roman Catholic America
Our lady of Guadalupe pray for us. America will be Roman Catholic
I wish you folks could get Jesus' face right. The skin color, the nose, the hair. He was a semite. He did not belong to a country club.
You are obsessed with race. We worship a Jew and love all races. It's always about religion and never about race
Well, it's kinda about both. And we shouldn't forget misogyny.
That has been proven to be untrue. You and who else love all races? All the Nationalist Christian Pastors? They have gotten a big get. 501(c)(3) no longer requires churches to refrain from supporting or urging the election of specific candidates. Check it out.
The founding fathers were white supremacist slave owners and satanic freemasons. Religion always comes before politics
You never win with satanic freemasonry. youtu.be/vAIT6qQZZtQ?...
My thoughts exactly, if I ever thought about Freemasons. They did better than Sojourner Truth getting on paper money.
The demon gets into them through the oath. Matthew 5:34 youtu.be/Z97aZj5jANw?...
You left out that they were also misogynistic. But tell me, does Yale's secret society come out of freemasonry? I don't know much about either.
Yes it does. Demon possessed frat bros and sorority sisters take all the cushy jobs in America. Never take strange oaths. Matthew 5:34
Washington was not a Christian. There is a plaque added much much later of Washington on bended knee suggesting that he was praying to a Christian god. It is not at all accurate. Like adding "under god" to the pledge of allegiance. Oh. Trump missed this one. "Under Dorftrottle Drumph"
End freemasonry in police. Their oaths are the linchpin of corruption in our society
That is true.
End 2 party partisan politics. Unite church with state for Christians
That’s exactly what they voted for.
I love this guy💙
Oh, but they did. They just didn’t want to listen.
Good guy
A lot of people did vote for this. But too many more didn't vote at all.
The problems he mentioned are something that everyone can experience every day. Which one do you think needs to be solved immediately?
The problems he mentioned are something that everyone can experience every day. Which one do you think needs to be solved immediately?
But they did. Scorpion in the Frog
Sure they did. They just thought it would happen to somebody else.
What, then, were they voting for when they cast their ballot for Trump?
I respectfully disagree. The people being impacted may not have voted for Republicans but the state as a whole did. And unless they were living under a rock, all of this info of what would likely happen was shouted from the rooftops. People decided to ignore for reasons I will never understand.
YES they did vote for all of this it was even put down in writing
Except they did vote for this. Maybe they regret it and would like to change direction now, but they absolutely did vote for it.
bsky.app/profile/esqu...
They absolutely voted for that.
They absolutely did vote for all of it. He literally told us what he was going to do. If they were stupid enough to believe anything he said was going to help, well, I guess the FO part of FAFO is going to suck for them.
Yeah, but they didn't think the leopard would eat THEIR face, just everyone else's.
Right, which is why I said if they were too stupid yo get it then the FO part is going to suck for them. #nosympathy #ihopeitsworsethantheyimagined
Yeah, just wish it sucked ONLY for them, and not the rest of us, too.
It’s the only time in history where a cult’s actions affected the entire world. Yep, we all get to pay the price for their stupidity. And now, it’s too late, it’s going to take a civil war to get them out. Hopefully it doesn’t escalate to a world war like it took for Hitler 🤦🏻♀️
It actually isn't the first time a cult's actions affected the world. Hitler, Mussolini, and more. Fascism generally includes blind allegiance to a single individual who purports to be the only solution to the less fortunate followers' troubled lives.
I stand corrected 👍🏻
Please win this. I don't like Moreno at all.
“They didn’t vote for…” They did though. That they’re too dumb to realize that, idk what to tell them, but Trump and Team Project25 weren’t exactly hiding any of this
Like “I didn’t vote for high prices”. Well duh. Nobody votes for high prices. What you did do was vote for economic policies that EVERYONE told you would cause high prices. Ok well if “you don’t vote for that”, it’s time to admit that maybe you don’t know what you’re doing
Counter point yes they did vote for it. Because the media convinced them Trump wasn't lying and it was all Biden's fault. Despite all the evidence from Trump first term
The Trump voters voted for all of this.
Sadly they did. They just didn’t expect anything bad to happen to them.
Yes they did…but he’s in Ohio, so he’s surrounded by morons…who did vote for this…
Bull shit. They voted for Trump. No more excuses.
Yes they did. They CHOSE not to listen to the truth and voted for hate
We also didn’t ask for our National Guard to be used as pawns to be sent to DC.
A surprising number did vote for Trump directly or voted indirectly for him by staying home. The 31.78% are vile and disgusting but the 36.32% are really to blame.
The number of nonvoters is really irrelevant because everyone knows (or should know) that SOMEONE will win. SOMEONE will be sworn in. Staying home is meaningless. Its allowing others to choose for you, and we're all suffering the consequences.
Harris's support for genocide cost her one third of Biden's lead among Democrats. And today some people think she had no choice but to support Netanyahu
Didn't Harris have pretty much the same policy towards Israel/Gaza as Biden at the time? How would that cost her 1/3 of his "lead?"
Harris said ending the genocide was 1st priority. Also, if we’re being honest genocide didn’t cost her votes. Those same people were told Palestinians would be removed from Gaza, The West Bank and America (U.S) and still sat on their ass which hurt Palestinians more than a Harris vote.
A huge amount of the non-voters were looking for a reason to not vote for Harris and the majority don’t care about genocide. They cared about her race and gender. They weren’t focused on policy or advocacy cuz those would mean a Harris vote.
They looked into the eyes of marginalized communities and welcomed the collapse of the U.S. hoping their dream country would rise from its ashes without them having to die or be politically active. It was a fool’s gamble and they lost.
"Pro-Palestine" people mailed watermelon imagery to a black man in the *minority party* (aka zero power to do anything for them) and crashed a Democratic rally about black rights/concerns. It was 100% about the racism.
While racism is a problem in the Palestinian movement it doesn’t define the movement. Another reason I don’t believe Harris lost because of Palestine is that the Demographic outside ME most likely to support Palestinians voted for Harris.
It’s still something to tackle and it’s just as bad in the Pro-Israel movement in the U.S. Kamala Harris unfortunately didn’t have a chance because of how pervasive racism & sexism is even among average Americans. Most Americans also aren’t raised community oriented. They thought they were safe.
There's a saying, poor people in the US think they're temporarily embarrassed millionaires, and I think it goes for many issues. Everyone thinks they're the special exception who'll end up on top. Nobody's willing to admit no, they're on the bottom so they'd better make sure it's decent down here.
Well basically, it was part of a whole package where the first red flags I had with pro-Palestine people is they often would crash rallies that were about other marginalized people trying to have their concerns heard. It was like "...why are you trashing up other hurting people trying to be heard?"
Typically advocates for different marginalized groups at best actively support each other, or at worst just stay out of each other's lanes unless their goals are genuinely mutually opposed somehow. So yeah, first red flag was pro-Palestine people seemingly going out of their way to disrespect that.
Yup, the largest participants in these actions were unfortunately usually privileged and see protest/disruption action as the only way to push change. Democrats are seen as only opposition.
They also see Gaza as THE MORAL issue so it’s hard to convince them we have to make space and be strategic about advocacy across multiple groups. There’s this abuse of the phrase “none of us are free till all of us are free”.
Sit at home people could have simply voted against Trump with no further thought going into it. This is squarely on the sit at home crowd for being the rat f****s they are.
They made the right choice in 2020, they got Trump enabling.
All she had to do was do what the voters wanted, say something different than Biden, she failed, that's not on the voters, that's on her. She listened to the right and AIPAC over her own constituents. That's a fucking fact. Stop defending corruption.
She went from " these people ate an existential threat to our democracy: to, 2 WEEKS later, touring with Liz Cheney and offering those same people "a seatvat the table"
Are an existential threat, not ate an existential threat.
The ones that voted for Trump because of Gaza.
Right?! That’s Michigan right there. Palestinians For Trump. There still aren’t Gaza protests of the GOP!
Not all of Michigan. Blaming us for a group of people -- or a movement -- is wrong. But I do agree on your point about GOP and Gaza. My whole household, all four of us, voted for Kamala. So did my parents, and our roomie's family.
👍🏻
=fist-bumps you=
Nope absolutely nobody blamed you or Michigan for ANYTHING AT ALL. More Arab Americans NOT voting for Trump would have helped win Michigan. That statement is ABSOLUTELY NOT blaming Michigan. You’re totally misunderstanding what I’m saying.
I think it is the ability of the GOP to focus & turn democratic voters against their own party and interests. The smallest crack is identified & they spend months widening it. It doesn’t take much to swing these states and they have gotten really good at it. We have also gotten bad at fighting it.
We have no centralized ability to spread our message and platform. Shit, I don’t even know what our platform is. We are so scared to release it because we are scared to defend it.
The GOP literally had no platform in’16 or ‘24. I mean look at the responses to my post…we’re dealing with serious BASIC reading comprehension and literacy issues here. That’s more than a messaging problem. Trump talks at a 4th grade level but evidently that may be a skill set Dems also need.
Yelling at a stranger online does not help. Muting this. I don't need your lecturing.
And how has that worked out?
Horrendously.
And, what if those people had a friend killed by Bidens bombs? Could you, in good conscience ,vote for someone you knew FOR A FACT was responsible for your friends death? Be honest. Joe "I am a zionist" Biden ushered in Trumps 2nd term.
I agree.
38% of registered voters in Ohio are registered Independent. We are working hard already to help them see the truth.
You must really like losing to fascists. Because this is exactly how you lost and will keep losing. It is NEVER the fault of people who have been turned off politics by a corrupt system. It's your fault for not offering something more meaningful to them. You're blaming them for your failure. Yours.
Trump has no moral compass, no ethics, no soul. He doesn’t care about the people he swore to lead, or the ones stupid enough to worship him. He spits on everyone—loyalty means nothing to this coward. Trump doesn't lead; he manipulates, lies, and hides behind sycophants, stupid people and lawsuits.
Trump is poorly educated despite the access to a good education. He seems to have learned nothing about anything. Not even sure he can count.
I'm sorry but those people that voted for Trump did vote for losing their insurance higher prices and losing their democracy Trump gave tax breaks to the wealthy in his first administration Those voters should've known what he'd do He also sued to get rid of Obamacare
Sherrod is wrong.My maga neighbors DID vote for this bc they’re too dumb to understand corporate welfare is more harmful than personal welfare. My maga neighbors are cheering ICE on and loving this.Won’t be long before reality hits & even though I too will feel the pain, it’s worth it to watch them.
Uh, yes you did, you mediocre white man.
Yes. They did. They voted for, “the guy who makes me feel better about being a racist, no matter what else comes with it.”
Unfortunately, you are correct. But they did vote for Trump to own the libs! So they’ll settle for that and get screwed too!
That is why they want to stop mail in voting, gerrymander Texas, and intimidate us the polls.
Maybe Brown should have considered not throwing trans people under the bus to try to peel votes off the Nazis.
I wish people would quit saying that. That's exactly what they voted for.
Yerah, but they did. How could you not know he’s a lying incompetent criminal?
Uhhhhh I’m pretty sure that’s what they voted for. He said he was gonna.
Well apparently 77M voted for this. If they didn't learn anything in his first term, they will this one. Unfortunately he has no plans to leave after 4 years..
Ohio voted for Trump by the widest margin since Reagan so team yes, yes they did vote for all that shit and frankly #fafo
Hilarious: of course they did. They voted for malignant grifters who fed their hate and bias and who reflect their actual core values. Basically at this point if you’re not full on socialist, anti capitalist, anti corporate, eat the billionaires… you are the problem
Voting by hate is leading to destruction
I mean, they voted for the guy who said he was going to do those things. They may not have noticed because they were so busy jerking off to the racism, homophobia, and misogyny, but they did vote for this as well.
People got scammed of their vote.
Yes, they did!
No, they voted for hate...
Yes they did.
The did.... they were just too stupid or stubborn to accept the truth
My guy, millions of people in the US did indeed vote for this. Many millions.
Welcome back, Senator Sherrod Brown... Ever the tireless warrior for the people in every state!
The best news! Bring his voice back where it will do the most good!
No!No!No! He's 76 years fckn old!! Retire already!!!
Yes, I like Brown but im also sick of 75 year olds who don’t know when to step away, this country is not going anywhere with a bunch of people who should be retired still running everything
Where’s the changing of the guard? Where’s the mentorship to bring fresh young leaders to our party?!? They’re just old & hungry to power & don’t know when to pass the baton or bring down the ladder! Enough!!
?
Well then you younger folks need to step it up and get serious.Get some guidance from those super smart old and tired intellectuals with real life and political experience.Your generation wasn't well prepared to run a government.Intellectual activity was not prized or rewarded in most of the USA.
The best in my generation were killed! What generation are you?
I don't have the titles down for the various Gens, but I was in college from '63--'66. Then law school '70-'73. Studied for the Bar during Watergate. I have grown children and school age grandchildren plus one infant.
We are still paying for Nixon's sins! If that were only resolved correctly there would not be a J6!
Your preferred candidate would be?
Remains to be seen!
Someone else, clearly someone younger and who’s not a lapdog to AIPAC or the DNC. The establishment just keeps giving us the same, ENOUGH!
Those "lapdogs" have nothing to do with age, more about an ignorant electorate! Trump being where he is, is a testament to that!
I agree it is not age related. Some of our more progressive thinkers are over 70 - Sanders. Some of our youngest cling to brutal, regressive and oppressive ideas - Miller. There are no "new ideas" even amongst the youngest & most progressive - AOC. A comprehensive safety net is an old, old concept.
This type of social safety net has been adopted by many countries. What has been done, can be done again.
I think unless we are invaded from outer space, it is unlikely we can work together on anything!
But still good in these most trying times!
I could not have had the life I built without the survivors benefits that President Eisenhower knew were needed. I never forgot those who like me knew poverty & knew it is preventable.
I have two unrelated aunts who were not suffering dementia at 99. Dementia is a brain disease or collection of brain diseases for which we have no cures. And we won't be finding any cures without the NIH or NIMH now scrapped by the Dorftrottle and the former Muskateer.
The Pedofuhrer will never be any good for science or medicine
Nor anything else. He was never good for anything.
I surely agree. I do think he is dying, and has gotten the hint. He's worried about dying.
More than the basic fear, within his Dementia! Can't be a commander-in-chief of anything right now!
No kidding. But he has his Roy Cohn Wannabe to translate 2025 for him. So he can concentrate on his gold crap and ballroom.
No kidding. We are f--ked on that one. No, people will die.
Robert Reich is the same age as the Dorftrottle. So are Bill and Hillary, and Bernie is older. Whatever you think about Nancy Pelosi, she did not lose her mind at 79. Elizabeth Warren is 76. Jimmy Carter started to lose it at 100. So it is not universal to suffer dementia at 79 or 83 .
So the Orange Charlatan is special?
Special like Aaron Burr.
There are 86 year olds and 96 year olds whose brains have not succumbed to disease. They may be short in stamina and in height, but the brain still works better than in many 30 year olds.
Enough excuses! Retire!! Term limits and age limits now! No one after 65 years old, no exceptions!
Term limits, Yes Age limits, No
If we are living into our nineties, that would be a long retirement, not working. Some of us can be very capable and open minded into our 70s and 80s. And some may be physically limited but not mentally limited. And some may not have learned anything new since 1975.
That’s the reason why young generations are being denied opportunities to run for office because the ones in there don’t know how to pass the damn torch!!
I think you should consider primarying against the established older person. Torches don't get passed. Elections and reelections happen.
I've responded to you a couple of times basically on behalf of BoomersHaving gotten past that,it just hit me that we're wasting time talking about retirement age, when the real enemy to our wellbeing is back and forth between us.Let's leave the retirement issue aside for now and get rid of oligarchs
I am with you on that!
I would be in favor of retiring at 65, if I could live the rest of my life not worrying about healthcare, food, clothing, housing, internet, smart TV, 6 weeks paid vacation per year. No one is stopping you from running in a primary. Or supporting someone else's run.
I have to remind us that to stop working at 65 and then not work for the next and last 30 years of life must presume a life sustaining income and healthcare. They do it in Europe. Not in the USA.
I stopped working at 70, but not because I wanted to! My third knee replacement got in the way!
I also stopped working at 70. It was the commute I could no longer do. I needed 3 more years for the adequate pension. Just couldn't do it with physical issues. Lucky you to have three legs!
The story is that Golda Meir advised her Assistant to tell her if she was starting to slide intellectually.That's missing here.We need to do that for one another.And, there is also testing.More than woman, television, elephant.after 70 yearly testing.There are ways to move folks to different roles.
But the culture in the US does not want anything from those retired and still able on some level!
They don't know what they are missing. I have a group of friends who write postcards together, those who safely can, will demonstrate.I have older friends whose opinions and suggestions are helpful.I marched in Selma,and seized the Administration Building at UofWisconsin protest against the draft.
Now I have a Dead Kennedys song stuck in my head,lol.
I am senator Sherrod Brown, my aura smiles I never frown.
Yes they did. Conservative Christians are evil and spread suffering and hate wherever they go.
We always have to say, repeatedly and endlessly, "We told you this is what you were voting for, months before you voted for it! It's not our fault that you ignore every person who disagrees with you in life."
Well, they're kinda stupid if they didn't think all of that would happen. It was all spelled out in Project 2025. They probably thought that was some Democratic plot, and they'll blame dems for higher prices and losing insurance and everything else.
Best of Luck.WE need Dems we can TRUST
BUT. THEY. DID. They just didn't want to listen to the "Libtards."
But they did. And now they're beginning to reap the results. Sadly, the rest of us will suffer, too.
Not our fault 😭
This is what happens when you vote for a sociopathic con man.
Except...they did. If they were dumb enough to vote for Trump, then they did vote for higher grocery bills, slashed benefits, and general incompetence. They knew Trump was incompetent. They just didn't care. They didn't think it mattered. Well...FAFO.
I'm with Brown from Austintown Ohio resident that feels in enemy country everyday. Help!
Did they not, though? I think they did.
Racism runs deep in middle America.
youtu.be/Ad_GnFcUcDs In 1961, American Nazi Party leader George Lincoln Rockwell and his “Hate Bus” targeted the Freedom Riders and desegregation. In this AAHIAH episode we expose how Rockwell's racism fueled America’s past—and still haunts our present.
And misogyny. It runs so damn deep that most people can’t even see it.
but it looks like they gonna live with it
