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

    I can see why you want to distract form the dumpster fire that is the cyber truck and tariffs right now, but come on. Biden is old news. The next bit is from yesterday’s try.

    Right now, it goes like this:

    • Republicans and/or Trump do something fucking crazy that’s not only never been done before, but probably illegal.
    • Everyone shouts frantically, “WhY areN’T tHe DeMS doINg ANyThiNG!” while saying in a rational, quiet, tone, “That’s just how Republicans are.”
    • Repeat

      it’s not really “distracting” to take a step back and examine how we got 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.
