We all know Trump’s strategy is to try and overwhelm people so they’ll unplug and he can complete his power grab. Here’s how to fight back. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

Republican leaders are the weak link in Felon Trump's chain, because they are responsible for his actions. No rest for the wicked.

The first thing I thought of when I saw the "Q+" in Trump's palm was LQBTQ+. Perhaps he's sending a subtle message. 😉

IT IS PROJECT 2025. They alone are the architects and executors of this coup. Trump loves it because he doesn’t have to do anything but golf and rant while the nation is plowed under.

Joyce, there is a strategy as you detailed. It’s not trump’s. It’s the Thiel-Leo cabal. P2025 is simply trump’s ticket to a front row seat not to the control panel. He follows bullet points handed out with meds every morning. He can no longer follow along with any discipline. May be episodic.

Trump isn't intelligent enough to develop all the initiatives he is pushing on his own. The billionaires which make up 0.00027% of the population are in charge. The Heritage Foundation is working overtime to clear a path insuring they can do what they want with no repercussions.

Would it be better if the governor employ the national guard to serve as the states use before the president? Not sure if I asked this question correctly, but you should get the point.

I won't unplug, but it is overwhelming. I've spent too many sleepless nights during both of Trump's reigns of terror.

Thing is, we are who we are. We do not "unplug". We get pissed off and fight back. We like what we like. Freedom and prosperity is what we like.

That’s what’s happened to my sister. She’s just unplugged. She told me she didn’t really know much about 1/6. 🤯It’s “Ostrich-itis.”
