As a veteran who served 10, I can't believe how we adults let's this get so bad from ppl that don't value what it takes to be Americans. Musk, Trump, Ramaswamy, and majority of the cabinet are going to create their version of Russia here in America.

NYET! “As a veteran who served 10” you should understand just how horrible the military became under DEI. Never mind the next four years, the next four weeks will put this country back on its original track imagined by its founders. Thanks to Trump!

Are u serious? What's the better track? Where the leadership is all Caucasian men, and they give the orders? Where minorities just support u warriors in the background? I've taught more white Officers how to do their jobs than I can count. I've made more Marines than most Officers. Insulting shit

These guys have been in the lab creating a monster for 4-7 years, and now Democrats have 2 figure out if they know how 2 fight or if they are going 2 initiate the "squabble up"! @aoc.bsky.social, you've lost some real hitters in the House. It might be time to play or call Kendrick Lamar. Squabble Up

Elon is threatening members of Congress to comply with Trump/Elon or he will fund primary opponents. Elon made $65B since the election and only spent $277M. He would be stupid not to buy every election for the rest of his life. This is PEAK oligarchy.

"I hope we shall take warning from the example and crush in it’s birth the aristocracy of our monied corporations which dare already to challenge our government to a trial of strength, and to bid defiance to the laws of their country." Thomas Jefferson in a letter to George Logan, November 1816

I can’t wait for the cult to realize they screwed themselves by voting for the 🍑. It is unfortunate the rest of us have to suffer too.

I am beginning to think that the elite class knew they would be called upon to file cabinet offices. This will be a corrupt miss use of power. The American people will suffer from these potential cabinet candidates.

I would be interested to know what he spent that much money on! It’s beginning to surface that Trump did not win the popular vote, but he did win the Electoral College! Same in 2016!! I thought the EC was tied to popular votes? So many questions!

The US has been invaded by oligarchs. Through lobbying, deregulation, and unchecked corporate power, they’ve captured our political and court systems. With no effective resistance, wealth consolidates, eventually leaving us impoverished ad democracy erodes—a Kleptocratic era begins.

No! Violence and murder undermine the very principles of justice and democracy. No political cause can justify your path of resistance, as it erodes the rule of law, fuels hatred, and perpetuates cycles of oppression. True progress arises from reason, dialogue, and compassion—not bloodshed.

Oh the oligarchy is way worse than this. However we should say the constitutional founders never envisioned that people could have this much power. The constitutional founders were all very rich landowners but they were trying to create a better system for America.

We need to build the infrastructure for the movement to stop this big money buying politics. I don’t think it’s a partisan issue for voters if it’s packaged right.

This is literally what Republicans wanted. This is like Reagan's wet dream. The only difference between the current GOP and the Reaganites is the isolationism and open racism (as opposed to closeted racism).

I wonder who'd win your elections if legislation allowed every candidate to only spend, let's say 5 million each...that's it. Your winner had Musk's (for selfish reasons)spending 2-300 million. Think about this! Money talks? Too much so. Trump is simply a very corrupt entertainer. An empty man!

you folks don't have a future President who cares about you. You have a Putin who is now rewarding wealth for their support. Now, THEY will be the oligarchy of America & only they will make decisions about your lives: not you. YOU voted for him & now YOU will pay! They love it...you won't

Well, this all is a result of your former party pushing deregulation and tax cuts for the rich. We told you this would happen. Republicans own it. Glad NOW you see it. Even if it's too late.

He basically spent $277 million dollars to have himself appointed "king president." We basically sold 248 years of American democracy to a billionaire immigrant who lived and worked in the country illegally in 1995.

If they didn't intend it,why didn't they make sure that the constitution didn't allow it? The constitution was written for people who had ethics, there's been several in the years that America has existed who walked on the wild side and skirted the constitution. Too many loopholes!

They never wanted a democracy either. We the People was actually, we the body politic. Democracy was a dirty word it was never mentioned in the constitution. They made it hard for the masses to vote. That's why you've got the electoral College and racism baked into the constitution.

Congress must overturn Citizens United in some way. Congress must in-corrupt the Supreme Court. This all comes down to congress doing their fucking job. The alternative is 1776 and French Revolution redux.

The only answer at this point is a French Revolution style response. Even though Left leaning politicians are better for the working class they don’t have the backbone and always want to play nice, giving up chances they have hoping the Fascists want to return the favor. They never do. So we always

How can they be stopped? Seems a lot of democrats are bending down to Donald Trump now. Right now I don't see any party republicans or democrats really giving a damn about us Americans you know your average working class kind of americans😡😭😞

So how do we fix it? How do we stop it? The Republican party has teamed up with Russia. Media and the Supreme Court has been taken over. Propaganda has convinced over half the voters to elect a criminal, rapist, racist con man. What's the plan? How do we fix this?

Even when we win elections and even when we hold the POTUS, House & Senate, the politicians never fix it. They could have enforced donation laws. Codified Roe v. Wade. Rescinded Citizens United. Addressed the Fairness Doctrine & utilized the FCC to prevent the infiltration of propaganda. But didn't.

#JoeBiden ALSO could have expanded the #SupremeCourt by 4, made P.R., V.I. AND D.C. states. Things that would help the #Democrats potentially. But, he had dementia, and IDK Kamala and his wife did not push him to do the right thing, and strike while the iron was hot.

We become civically active! We vote, donate and volunteer our time to get ethical democrats elected. I'm about at the point where if people don't do that they should quit complaining and stfu about how bad Inmate #P01135809 is because they're do nothing whiners.

I did that & I have to confess I regret it. I'm in a solid R state (Fl.) & argued with people that if they didn't take the time & effort to vote that they didn't have the right to bitch. They registered & voted R without taking the time to understand what they were voting for. Fox had their ear. 😱

Good trouble. Discussing economic plans of action isn't a bad idea. In fact if enough people started discussing how they intend to curb their spending, that might even be beneficial.

I was thinking about that last night. It would take a whole lot of people for it to have an impact & I'm afraid things will have to get very bad first to motivate enough people to participate. I'm doing what I can already by not buying things I don't absolutely need.

The things that shift political landscapes are massive impacts to people's well being, mainly economic. You saw how people believed that rumpT would help them in their every day struggles to pay grocery bills and they voted that way. We need to address that. The "kitchen table" discussions.

Food, gas, housing, medical. The Biden/Harris administration tried to address those as much as possible but while sitting at that kitchen table most families had fox news on screaming that everything was worse, not better. Poorly educated people believed them.

everywhere around me i look, people lost touch with reality, they lost contact with whats important in life .... they dont care about freedom and democracy they have now, because they didnt have to bleed or die for it they were born to it, thats why they will lose it eventualy, its sad...

THIS is how we got here. Allowing religion, corporations and foreign interests to invade ur country. The on- going coupvstarted with Citizens United Allowing Facists to buy SCOTUS and Congress. We had 34 states try to ratify it but we're 1 state short. ALL of this could have been avoided.

Whether 12 days ago or today, we can't say it enough... This is an oligarchy. Putin's oligarchy was Oleg Derapaska (his $$$ aluminum guy), Putin's $$$ fertilizer king who bought $$$ property from Trump to help him out during a bankrupcy, and Putin's other billionaires. But here?? In the U.S.??

You elected officials are the ones who need to stop it. Do your damn job. We vote for you. You vote on everything that matters. Or does a 2nd Civil War sound more profitable. This Marine is pissed. A convicted felon in control of the most powerful military in the world. Shut this shit down. 😡

He could try but he lost nearly all his power. Tbf the sad thing is most veterans somehow believe Trump is the better option for them. I’m already counting down for my brother since he’s 100% disabled and voted Trump.

Bernie too. The Dems stopped him twice. He’s been warning about wealth inequality and the oligarchs for years. I voted for Hillary and Joe, but really wanted Bernie’s policies.

That just isn't right!! Musk didn't just buy himself a brainless president he bought a whole damn country for that much! When they go after Naturalized citizens are they gonna go after him too? Send him back to South Africa! He's dangerous!!!

But remember, Musk said we the people will have to suffer for awhile until the rich guys fix the overspending by taking away overtime, and making other adjustments to the poor and middle classes benefits.

How do we stop it, they have the Supreme Court the executive and legislative branches, many state houses and governments and a very powerful global right wing authoritarian propaganda machine powering and funding it? Honest ?, lots of us are ready to get active but where and how

He would have to spend $10 million a day, for a lifetime (about 80yrs), to spend it all. The 801 billionaires in the US are just plain and simply greedy, greedy, greedy... If Ronald Reagan was still around he would have never let it get this bad... Ask any MEGA as.hole, they don't like Reagan...

I'm so tired of the "Founding Fathers" mythology and people interpreting their intent and how it's supposed to be some guiding force in contemporary times. If being a slave owner is any indication, they were probably dicks.

The founding fathers wanted the entire constitution to be rewritten every 20 years to account for the change of times. And then you have “originalists.” Doesn’t matter what the founding fathers intended with the original constitution. They didn’t want the original constitution to still be the law.

Citizens United marked the beginning of the end of free & fair elections in America. By enabling nameless, faceless corporations to buy a president, SCOTUS has allowed for the creation of a 21st century oligarchy of a type not seen since the Gilded Age. Musk is a robber baron. #EndCitizensUnited

Iw was all scam.when he went to court he got out of lottery claim because he admitted all winners were pre planned Internet mega who would best cheer mega .....my guess they were hired to take photos empty Bank accounts

Ohh yes, I’m aware of that. I meant the thousands of people who signed the petition and was supposed to get paid a $100 just for signing it!! What a f’n country we have become/am becoming!! 😳😳

It is frankly embarrassing how cheaply our elected representatives can be bought off, whenever I see election or lobbying numbers it’s always like less than $5 million ARE YOU KIDDING ME… I would want to never have to work again if I’m selling my soul

Back up a bit to them stealing the election from Gore. it goes back farther than that, the powell memo, John Birch Society, Soviet propaganda, America First movement… and so on. All whispering in the background - But this is the real take over they fantasized about.

It's not JUST that Adam. The majority of cabinet members seem to be billionaires and millionaires. Trump has officially Sold America to the highest bidder. The problem now is what can we do about it? We need some plans, organization and actually do something. We need to end our pay to play gov.

That’s already happened, or were you imitating The Big Guy with your eyes closed!? The adults are now in charge, we call that the majority of American voters, and our government “Of the People, By the People, and For the People” is governing again. It’s only just begun!

But I was told the Democratic Party is the elitist party. We had congressional republicans and Elon himself saying and tweeting this. White people are so easily manipulated. Sad.

@hey-leia.bsky.social everyone i listen to and I vary my content says the same thing if your feeling overwhelmed take some time to process what we are seeing i think I did Im still kinda freaked out but we don't know. Anyway the advice I hear is take a minute but don't give up democracy is not lost
