🤔 Which situation would that be - the first ever fascist takeover of the U.S. government? That's amazing foresight.

We hire them to run the government. To protect the country. Not to post obvious shit on social media. I don’t know the answers, but I know they’re the alleged experts.

You are not very knowledgeable. They don't "run the country". Experts in what? We elect fellow citizens to represent us and legislate. They don't get a cape and magic decoder ring when that happens. There are too many people yelling at a handful of people to do something. Do what YOU can. 🔇

I’m plenty knowledgeable. What I know for an absolute fact is they have more power to do something than I do. I know that because I voted to put them in that position. And rolling over and allowing this madman to destroy this country while only being able to muster up a few posts is infuriating.

No, they don’t have the power you think they do. There just aren’t enough dems.

I get that. But they should have done something before. And they didn’t. Release the Epstein files, appoint an AG who would actually arrest traitors, question the election that was CLEARLY questionable. They didn’t do shit. And they ruined America in the process.

They did do shit, our system is full of Trump supporters and enablers who let him slide. Including the SCOTUS. You want to blame it all on the dems, not the bigots who have been fucking with us for decades, cool, but I don’t help bigots cover up for their actions. Bye.

Last I checked Biden was given immunity by Trump’s SC, and even without that he sure as hell had the ability to appoint an AG who wouldn’t look the other way to the traitors. And Congress had the ability to work with him to assure these things were done. Just keep pretending they’re effective…

Anyone unwilling to acknowledge that a majority of American voters consciously shot themselves in the face is not rational. I had to 🔇them. In a democratic republic, the voters are the last stop. That was the premise of the American experiment. If citizens don't admit that and act, it's over.

I don’t give a shit that I’m muted. Our Democratic “leaders” are useless. They telegraphed every bit of this, and we did jack shit to stop it.

It’s so frustrating? They just want to blame the dems without acknowledging it’s the voters who chose this.

So you just accept that Elon jumped on the Trump bandwagon, was given control to all of our personal data through DOGE, and there’s no chance he tried to influence the election? Ok…

We're not gonna know for sure until after the last maggoty person in the administration leaves or kicks it. And either way? It doesn't fucking matter. Not really, not anymore. We can't turn back time to when it mattered, when 3rd party and non-voters couldn't pay attention and fucked everyone.

Yes, it matter. We can either pretend it wasn’t bigotry that drove the numbers and go chasing after conspiracy theories or we can be real and figure out what to do about it. I’m all for being real.

Cool. So are you going to pretended that a whole bunch of voters aren’t bigots that choose a fascist?

Yes, America is full of bigots. NEWSFLASH!!! But we beat those bigots in 2020. Now, maybe you’ll stop ignoring my point?

It doesn’t take any foresight to start the obstructionism from day one of this fool’s presidency. But with leaders like Jefferies still preaching bipartisanship when the fascists are stealing people off the street we have the ineffectual progeny of the Vichy govt in modern day form.

Where is he still preaching bi-partisanship in support of something that doesn't benefit all? You jumped on the train. Let's see your ticket.

So preaching bipartisanship with fascists is ok if you are trying to “benefit all”? Sure, they have killed women, trans children and brown folks by taking their rights but by all means let’s se how we can work with them. Are you literally suggesting this!?

Show me where. You said he was still doing it. Let's start there.

He’s not going scorched earth against a fascist. A fascist that needed to be stopped before he could even take office. Let’s start there.

As an example in this very post under which we are commenting. He is using a passive voice-type statement “you deserve better”. As if we didn’t elect him to LEAD US TO SOMETHING BETTER. Post after post he puts the onus on others when HE is elected to one of the highest positions in our country.

Fair warning, they’re going to tell you that stopping the dictator is your responsibility, ignoring the fact that we elected people specifically to put them in place as a check on his power. “But Martin Luther King wasn’t elected!” Sorry, but that’s their next move. Pretty sure they muted me 😂.

This response is so weak and disingenuous. On top of that, you didn't answer the question. In other words, you flat out lied and now you're redirecting to another point without proving your first. Get off your hind parts. Use YOUR active voice and directly confront the GOP instead of Dems. 🔇

You did, but a lot of fellow citizens didn’t and so they don’t have enough power. Go yell at your fellow citizens, not the minority party who does not have the power to do what you want them to do.

You’re right, they don’t have power to do anything now. But they DID a year ago. And the fact that they didn’t protect us then is the reason that we’re FUCKED now. So yeah, I’m going to continue to yell at them. Also, I still don’t believe that Trump swept the swing states…

Yeah, sure. Let’s pretend it’s their fault that white voters went full bigot despite the multitude of warnings from every single prominent dem out there. Personally, I don’t refuse to hold maga aunt Karen responsible for her decisions, but you do you. Bye.

Let’s pretend becoming best friends with a tech mogul a few months before the election and the quid pro quo of government contracts and White House lawn infomercials is as all on the up and up. Not for a second do I believe that he won. But more importantly, dems couldn’t even be bothered to ask.
