He’s about to do much more.

You don't need a plane to destroy America.

When things go bad, you have two options. You can just give up or you can dig in and work, even if you aren't sure you will be enough. Trump and Maga win if you do the former.

It's why we need reformation from oligarchy capitalism into true democracy and social equity.

The damage is already generational. It will take decades to repair, not the least of which is the lost trust in our government both here and abroad.

What is enough? Defeat is not an option.

Great pep talk

VOTE!! THE DEMS IN to restore the Power of Congress to “check and balance” Trump’s power NOW! It will be enough right now to do that. Surprised to see this post at a time when we want folks to use their power and VOTE!

I thing the republicans have it rigged. Musk is a lay it. I’d Tremont change anything

Unfortunately you are correct. Our only recourse is to vote. Don't forget about your local elections. Things to to be addressed from the bottom up.

Well, at least we then can "triage" the situation... I, for one, refuse to give up on the United States of America and our Constitution, given that I have sworn 3 times to "protect and defend it." I will not be foresworn.

It will matter if they somehow get super majorities. The problem is, maybe even super majorities won't matter since Democrats can't seem to make the case for literally anything. Weeks before the midterms and they haven't even made the connection/case between Trump's fails and GOPer rubberstampism.

If you win. Nazi Elmo and Fanta Shitstein and others will do anything including bombing their own people to sabotage dems winning

It matters. It will become effective when and if the new representatives can improve the situation country.

Generational damage thanks to SCOTUS.

So Mr. Kinzinger. Isn't there a military contingent plan in place if a madman gets in the whitehouse. I mean JFC.

It’s a start!

That's a relatively small problem compared to this: bsky.app/profile/forc...

Until this country has a reckoning for its long history of genocidal white nationalist child rapery, it will always be this way. Instead of acting shocked that there’s another one in the WH, let’s be honest with ourselves and admit it’s our entire national identity. Maybe then something can be done

No, the plan to fix things must be bolder.

You would know. Your congress should have called for tribunals instead of slow walking the investigation.

Unless it’s a wipeout it won’t be enough to hold Trump fully accountable. People need to understand this and not demand miracles.

but yeah us losing vigilance over our political system is the lesson to be learned imo

It will be a lot of work. But it beats the alternative. 😀🔥💙

💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙 Voting BLUE is the ONLY way to fix the mess your country is in! NEVER vote republican again!!! 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙

It's going to take time and many many years to fix all the damage that trump and these republicans have done to your country and every time you vote another republican in, that's another step backwards!!!

You voted for him and with him, you're a big part of why this happened! Make sure your kids know that before they read about it.

Gotta start somewhere. 🙄

Damage especially to our children and way of life with services.

But keeping GOP majorities in both houses would be catastrophic.

It will be enough to slow further damage, and that is profoundly important.

But it more dems might slow the bleeding.

The Dems and hopefully some enlightened Republicans can muster 2/3 vote to impeach Trump and his entire cabinet as well as repeal all those horrible bills they passed that were disadvantageous to the country.

Helpful(?) message 30 days out Adam. Do you think this will encourage people? ...because that's not my best guess.

Truth. It will take YEARS if not decades to regain even a semblance of what the US was - internally and externally. And that's IF the Dems don't F-it up. (But Vote Blue in any case)

So we should give up?

Seriously, Adam! Are you suggesting that people NOT for Democrats because it doesn't matter how many win? Surely not!! I'm thinking you should delete this comment and post something like, "Vote Democrat to begin the journey of fixing what Trump and his Regime have f*cked up!"

Lasting damage...forever...no country will trust the US.

Also, it critically depends on what is it that Americans are hoping to achieve after Trump. For many some US Bluesky users, it's implementing the far left of center reforms that might, just might, be realistic in 100-120 years from now.

I think Blue State USA will recover (somewhat), but Red State USA is utterly doomed. Willful ignorance will lead you nowhere.

We get the government that the 36% of the registered voter population didn't care enough to turn out and vote for gave us. So VOTE!!

If they actually get approved by the House and seated. It will be a start. If Johnson does not seat the duly elected representatives, then we are in trouble.

VOTE 🌊

Perhaps you might recognize this as an uproductive, unwise, and unhelpful thing to post, regardless of whether it is true or not. Get some rest, then do some good.

It's gonna take some time to fix all the shit he's dumped on us

If it's never enough it's because Trump supporters have and will continue to inflict damage on the nation. Let's not discount their awful contribution.

The damage was done by 77 million most of whom will still be around for decades after Trump is long gone - they knew or should have known what they were voting for. To undo the damage will take generations.

Its a matter of stopping the bleeding, which needs to be done before we start healing.

@adamkinzinger.substack.com .....C'mon we need positive energy. Not, " it doesn't matter anyway"

But vote anyway

We are well and truly screwed.

Agreed 👍🏼

You are assuming they will be allowed to win...

Is voting really all you can think of to do as resistance? It's been 10 years & that already failed twice. What's your plan if it fails a 3rd time? "Vote even harder"?

How much damage YOUR party has done to the country @adamkinzinger.substack.com Project 2025 has been sitting on the shelf for decades waiting for someone like Trump to come along, and it’s gonna take someone like FDR to fix it. You conservatives and neoliberals can step aside and let the left work

Its a beginning

Adam this is a terrible message

💯

probably not, but it’s a start!As long as the Democrats go about their governance wisely, restoring ethics and accountability resulting in maintaining control. A veto proof majority in the house help!

Do your telling me that you are going to vote Democrat? I call bullshit!

All we can do is slow the damage. Democrats look likely to take the House and hold hearings, and the Senate is now leaning their way too, which would put a real check on unqualified confirmations.

So what then? It's all over? Nothing matters? Everyone should just give up & start learning Russian? You COULD be publicly trashing YOUR PARTY to gain more Indie & GOP voters for Dems like WE are. We KNOW what we face! COWARD! Go hide under your bed-DEPLORABLE! @adamkinzinger.substack.com

And... What's the plan THIS TIME when Trump claims election fraud?

ADAM THE DEBBIE DOWNER! That's because the "normal" GOPs, if any are left, need to help too. Don't you have ANY old friends you can still talk to?

And he’s not done! Whatever the Dem victory may/may not be in the midterms, the only thing you can say about this psycho’s next two years in office is ‘worse is yet to come’. And there will be no hiding how much you Americans really effed up…!

The GOP has a lot to answer for.

#VoteTooBigToRig #VoteBlueToSaveAmerica #VoteBlueToSaveDemocracy #BlueTsunami #GOTV #VoteBlueNoMatterWho

Yet, we could scare that blood clot loose and see what happens to the orange turd then...

Dems don’t want to hold anyone accountable. Thomas alone should have been forced to step down and his wife should have been charged with treason. That’s just one example. Problem is Dems don’t want to lose those legal bribes so they won’t do dick about citizens united or the billionaires. We’re fkd

Especially when Dems don't ever seem capable of meeting the moment. I'm voting blue across the board regardless.

It will take generations to repair the damage, but we can slow him down. Don’t discourage people from voting

Nobody said it would be quick or easy.

Sure, and that is the point. He does not need Congress. He governs by tantrum and executive order. The Senate could flip tomorrow and he would still be running the country like a casino that already went bankrupt twice.

All they can really do is put on some brakes.

True

Yes, it will w fight. But the fight starts with an overwhelming Blue wave on November 3rd!

It’s a START!!!

What, then, will be enough? What are we called to do? The post mid-term days are very near, the time chaos will reign. Tell me I'm wrong.

Little early to throw in the towel on America. Are you saying there’s no way out? No remedy at all?

This new association of pro-decency, anti-dictatorship groups and persons is identified by adherence to principles. Democracy. Concern for our neighbors. Positive and achievable goals for economic growth. A health care system that works for everyone. Regardless of politics, religion or identity.

And our international reputation. Once a reputation is ruined it's near impossible to get back.

WTH Kinzinger?! That almost sounds like we should throw in the towel.

It will be a start.

We’ll need public trials and execute the traitors to regain any respect or decency globally.

We will have to work very hard to find some semblance of normalcy and balance.

But it might make a difference to our one time allies that not all Americans agree with or support the crime syndicate in the White House.

Have to start somewhere. Vote.

The GOP has seized control of the USA in authoritarian coup. In pursuit of single party rule. Under leadership of felon, rapist, pedophile, traitor. Destroyed our domestic/foreign policy. Decimated our trade/economic system. Threaten to invade our allies. These are traitors to our republic.

We're gonna need a more upbeat message for the last four weeks, Congressman.

It’s a start.

No thrown objects more dense than overripe tomatoes. American USDA tomatoes only. A non profit tomato stand that gives all profits to the VA will be present. Selfies are allowed but only if tasteful.

If anyone wants the receipts: @beltwayalpha.bsky.social publishes every Congress trade with the vote that came right before it. https://bsky.app/profile/beltwayalpha.bsky.social/feed/politician-trades

Enough for what? It's enough for something, isn't it?

Only if Trump is impeached and removed from office, US will start the healing process internally and recovering its credibility externally.

Sad but true. The best we can hope for is to stop traitor tRUMP from doing more damage and being to hold the criminals in his administration to account.

We will (hopefully) not remember the second trump term as the end of US - PERIOD! Corporate diluted and twisted "information" is going in the wrong direction. I'm counting on the appearance of my savior (small "s") on November 3 or before. That would be you, reading this. VOTE!! WIN!!!

No matter what you say we need to stop the bleeding and start fixing all of this shit that MAGA let Trump break in this country.

I don't subscribe to this doomer outlook.

🎯

Adam, I'm disappointed in you 🗳️🇺🇸

The election on Nov 3rd is the 1st step to taking back our country. We take control of the House & Senate, it will slow him down. It will also start to reshape Congress by having legislation passed for the people. Showing that Congress can function correctly. This has always been the first step.🗳️🇺🇸

Well thats inspiring...way to make people feel like their vote matters at the most important time to vote in our lives! 😑

And Trump has two more years to do more damage.

Which is unlike you

bsky.app/profile/open...

Enough for what? It will be a start. They can stomp the brakes and start to have hearings and actual debate. It will take a generation to create a better USA. But it will happen.

Decades of damage if not lifetimes

Sad but true it’s going to take my 30!” Year old kids to turn 50 before this country has recovered or may be more.

So basically, no need to vote. Come on dude. What an assinine thing to put out there weeks before an election.

Delete this. It's extremely unhelpful. We don't need more doomerism. Thanks.

What's your brilliant plan, then? I'm waiting.

What the hell is your point? Do you even have one? Seems to me you need to STFU. How bout that Adam?

But it will greatly increase the chance that Trump will be removed from office via impeachment.

Baby steps

Hey, these things gotta start somewhere.

🇺🇸🇺🇦

It’s a start

But at least it will be the start on rehabilitation.

...and the rest of the 🌍
