Everyone witnessed January 6th and proceeded to reelect Trump. This question has already been answered.

Paging Amy Klobuchar.

Trump’s voters didn’t care about eggs and still don’t. They knew he wanted to upend the federal government. They knew he would upend Trans rights and DEI. They knew about Project 2025. They want this. Dems are screaming and saying this is bad but the GOP is plowing through. Dems are in distress.

Get out your pitchfork or you're not going to get an election in 2028.

The Democrats are doing lots but media is mostly ignoring it. You have to seek it out people. @maddow.msnbc.com opening segment was about HUGE townhalls this weekend that got ignored.

We need to find Real Republicans. Old-School, Business-Friendly, Small-Government, Rule-Of-Law, Separation-Of-Powers-Is-A-Real Thing Republicans. I knew some, once… But that was before the MAGA Virus infected them all, and we had the Zombie Republican Apocalypse. Oh, the Good Old Days…

I hope you are right. But Trump just (publicly) kissed Putin's ass. I think we have already been flushed.

I'm hoping we are just hibernating because of the cold. Honestly, it's the only thing that makes sense to me that there haven't been massive protests already.

Trump will plant people who will instigate violence.

Run of the mill, workaday Nazis didn't sour on Hitler because of Treblinka, they soured because of Stalingrad. ANYTHING that erodes support for the regime is good and needful.

Well, yes. But whatever works. Bird flu is making eggs in some places cost $1 apiece. Average person feels this development; it’s President Hypeebole’s problem.

They’re completely worthless as an opposition party.

Enough of the egg talk. We need to be talking more about liberty and freedom. Our safety and security.

Agreed. They’re a day late and a dollar short. They should be been talking about the price of eggs 4 months ago not now.

Musk and Trump are destroying the government that has given us unprecedented peace and prosperity for 80 years, all for more tax breaks for billionaires. That's all they have to say.

I strongly disagree that "but egg prices" is the strongest case dems are making right now, it's just easy to take out our anxieties on them.

What nonsense. You are just doing the same thing you did during the election and ignore all the powerful messages Democrats said to instead harp on some throw-away thing they said that one time.

Its over, if Elon isnt in handcuffs by the end of the week he's our King

If over half the country doesn’t care or isn’t paying attention aren’t we already cooked? Not a whole lot the Democrats can do if people aren’t willing to listen.

I mean, imagine how dumb the average person is, then realize that half the people are dumber than that. Those dumbasses are who decides ~every election, too. Dems need to fight harder for the rule of law, but "but eggs!" is what's gonna win the midterms.

other than protest, go on tv, yell at representatives in congress, and get lawyers filing to block them, file for impeachment. what choices do they have ? they aren't going to physically attack them. out of hand due to lack of justice trump should have been out after first impeachment.

Why don’t they fucking care?

They should post really hard like you do Aaron. Keep posting those clips of gleeful republicans on Fox non stop.bDoing good work.

Maybe you should have more political parties and major democratic reform and participation then... 🫠

When I was in high school I participated in an "egg throw" to raise money — two people stood behind a chicken wire screen and customers would pay a quarter to throw an egg at them. Nasty. Any Democrat who mentions egg prices should get a day in the egg cage.

Don't get me wrong. The eggs are the fault of a lot of different things, but not trans people or immigrants.

You’re also forgetting the younger generations and the election being driven by podcast media. They did incredible targeted messaging…and it worked better than they even thought

You can’t fight stupid… it’s a losing battle. They won the narrative game.

I want a Democratic Party that is so out for blood that Trump & MAGA will have no choice but to try to attempt a coup to hold on to power because if they don't, the streets of DC will run red w/ retribution. Give me that Democratic Party.

The media and Trump voters cited their obsession with egg prices as a primary reason to destroy democracy. Maybe talk to them instead of condemning Democrats.

"it's the eggs, stupid" the price of eggs is symbolic of everything trump does. announce or tweet something not related to any facts then blow right past it when it face-plants. huh-uh. very special boy promised me cheap eggs and i want my cheap eggs. i don't want any of his fucking excuses.

You may be bored with the egg thing, but what happens in Ukraine has far less tangible and immediate relevance for most voters

Honest question: Do you think enough American voters care about lawless authoritarian regimes and dismantling of institutions to make a difference?

Besides we tried fixing inflation in general

"egg prices" are the only thing his brain-dead followers understand.

Half the country did not vote for Trump

*cared

His voters only care about whatever he tells them to care about. Now he's not talking about eggs. Instead, they only care about DEI, wokeness and DOGE.

We need republicans shamed!! They have rolled over

Democrats made that case for months and lost so here we are

💯👏

If there’s riots in the future, I hope they target FNC to be burned down.

Yep. Possibly the most damaging decision in SCOTUS history.

I’d generally agree, but it’s one of the few issues the simpletons who voted for Trump care about. Democrats cried from the rooftops the entire election cycle about the kind of authoritarian threat Trump represents and it got them nowhere. Now it’s supposed to work?

Wait - what if people who never paid attention to politics before because it's boring suddenly discovered their voices on social media started voting? We might learn that way fewer people are into democracy than we've been led to believe.

If Dems want to make the cost of living the centerpiece of their messaging, they're going to have to adjust their aim slightly to billionaires and corporations.

I think they should use every argument at their disposal. "Lawless authoritarian regime" works for some; "egg prices" work for others. Use them all. We need as big a coalition against MAGA-Musk as we can get.

Ukraine isn’t going to capitulate just because Mussolini says he negotiated a peace plan. Unfortunately they may have to rely on Europe and not us. Obligatory fuck Trump.

But you know most people in this country aren’t paying attention to what he’s and Musty are doing. We were cooked when folks started freaking about Joe’s debate & not on what he did to help the people of this country.

Democrats lost the majorities (just barely) because to many people didn't vote. They found reasons why the candidates were perfect and able to solve all problems with some magic fairy dust. So they stayed home.

I don’t agree. I see them fighting in court, in interviews, and in committees. Admittedly, Schumer/Jeffries have not met the moment, but that doesn’t discount many that are stepping up. We don’t even have eggs where I live, I’m glad they are talking about it.

Pretty sure VP Harris offered a hell of a lot more than egg prices. Such unserious people.

There is a restless populist spirit in America that voted for Trump, but isn’t wedded to Trump. That is where Dems need to put their energy. Make Trump defend his government, make him defend the corrupt oligarchs he is in bed with. Shine a light on a path forward.

The US doesn't deserve to be global hegemon, unfortunately China will likely step in to take its place.

Democrats impeached Trump twice, spent four years calling him a fascist, and Americans, egged on by the media--if you will--elected Trump for his supposed ability to reduce food prices. So, I hope this cri de coeur is addressed to the people and the media as the sources of your discontent.

Sadly Adam, I agree with your sentiment. People are selfish.

FUCKING GREED!🤬🤬🤬

Leader Jeffries has announced the launch of the "Rapid Response Task Force and Litigation Working Group." The task force is part of a "multifaceted struggle to protect and defend everyday Americans from the harm being inflicted by this administration."

those egg prices… hoo boy.

So what do we end up doing as a solution? Never heard the alternative.

We need the circular firing squad right now. Time to weed out the Jeffries, Pelosi's and their ilk. This is exactly what the party needs if there is any chance of ever fighting back. Time to purge the Democratic Party.

The more weeks that pass with Trump positioning himself to the right of Mussolini politically and his approval remaining at or above water, the more Dems are going to try and stay where the electorate is.

Action is being called for when there is no clear path forward. Yet. Elon Musk needs to be arrested and deported. His five minions need to be arrest arrested . That is the most common sense actionable course . Also we need to win the election that’s happening in 60 days for the house.

Dems are completely lost we need a new leader to rise up

Voters didn’t give a crap about saving democracy, or that Benedict Donald was a fascist or oligarchs are taking over, they’ll screw our allies before they’re not going to grasp it now. One thing they claimed they cared about was grocery cost.

You’re using logic Aaron. Trump supporters don’t.

Yes, we are totally screwed. We have been for quite a while. yes, the price of eggs IS an important wedge for the Dems to work.

They tried all that last year, and the voters said "but egg prices!".

Eggsactly!!! Dems don't need a sideshow of their own!

What exactly should the messaging or actions be? We’ve thrown out all the doomsday messaging before the election and now after and it doesn’t seem to matter. I’m feeling like our “normal” fight tactics are worthless and we have to pivot to a different future. I hate it here.

They're maybe over-learning a lesson from the election, but I can absolutely see why they're making that mistake

It’s like they are perpetually 4 months behind the discourse

We were cooked as a society a LONG time ago.

I'm not disagreeing with you, but the "voters" who support Trump don't care - they like his "strong arm" tactics and the perception that he's screwing the damn libs, without caring that he's actually mostly screwing them. Biden/Harris warned them about all of it.

Yep. People know about the egg prices on their own anyway. Educate them on things they don’t know. It’s such stupid strategy.

Partially true. The people are going to need to fix this. The Democrats appear to be complicit. The problem is there not a clear legal avenue that presents itself following legal precedence. There is a growing resistance. But we sure as fuck don’t have any leaders from the Democratic Party.

It was never about eggs. That was just cover. The 2024 election was a test of morality and the US failed.

Lets try and do what our friends in Canada are doing ✊✊✊✊✊

Like I can’t tell if this tsunami is inevitable or not. If it’s inevitable then a matter of trying to survive to get to the other side.

Trump is very popular right now. Vast majorities of Americans approve of the dismantling of Democracy. They want a dictator that sounds tough. We are Germany in the 1930's

A Russian spy leads our intelligence services, our military leader is about to give up a sovereign ally to an enemy nation which threatens all our allies, while and a maniacal, openly Nazi foreigner is systematically breaking down our institutions. . Guess what. The feared New World Order is here.

They don’t fear for our nation. They fear for their jobs.

the public very demonstrably does not care about anything else

Old Dem parry leaders need to be just ignored at this point because they have failed their nation. Organization has to be in the streets, union halls & courts.

Sad but true that most people only pay attention when stuff affects their money.

The US people prefer "a lawless authoritarian regime that is dismantling our institutions at home and selling out our allies abroad" you can't help them. It's the people here that need to suffer for their stupidity. Let them die off.

The people who voted for Trump don’t care about an authoritarian regime. They want a white Christian male authoritarian regime. And only if it hurts their pocketbooks will they decide it might not be worth it. They don’t have want democracy if it means they aren’t in power.

this is a useless post. ironic since you are trying to post that DEMS are useless. This is not at all helpful, and seems more like what legacy/main stream media does. I expected better.

Sadly it was egg prices that helped get us to the dire situation our country is currently in. Democrats better get their act together & switch tactics in order to convince Americans of all persuasions as to what trouble they’re in because just enough of them were duped into voting for the Dictator.

Let's make an omelet --- 3 eggs with cheese!

"Ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country." JFK

Duly noted.But to say Democrats are the only opposition is incorrect. The courts are opposing him,what good it does remains to be seen. "We the people," are opposing him with surprising numbers in the street. Pushback works.It's really all up to us.

At least they are no longer looking blankly at the oncoming train. They are learning, just soooo late.

"54% of adults have a literacy below a 6th-grade level (20% are below 5th-grade level)." www.thenationalliteracyinstitute.com/post/literac...

Dems were literally warning Americans about Project2025 and Democracy. What the fuck are you talking about?

Don't think voters care about living in an lawless authoritarian regime if that regime hates the right people. So yea, guess we are cooked.

But hey, at least you respected the peaceful transition of power because 'you are not like them'

Unwilling to call a spade a spade, but why? What do they have to lose right now?

I changed my voter registration recently. Not because I'm scared they'll "come get the dems" but because the party has failed me too many times

Did you miss this or are you purposely ignoring it? Cuz right now your misinformed posts are just fracturing democrats. And not doing anything to stop the fascism youre complaining about.

As the rubber meets the road and Trump and the administration is put to the test. The maga supporters will wake up about how that’s screwing up their lives.
