But…. Biden showed us to “go higher”. “I’m going to hand over these keys to the WH and the country, no fight! See how I’m just going to hand YOU over to him? Going higher👍🏼” Probably because it worked so well before. What The Actual Fuck. SOMEONE FUCKING DO SOMETHING.

Too much to lose to remain apathetic. Am recharging though.

I do find that I learn things from following you. You might learn things from following me. Just a thought in building a TRUE communal site.

I disagree. I had a talk with a MAGA neighbor about who ran up the deficit more (it's simple math). When presented with the facts from Fox Business he dismissed it as fake. We need to hit bottom. We need to burn the house down. I want the GOP to burn the house down. So we can come back.

Also, everyone on here saying, “I won’t give up the fight! Fuck Trump” and not one of them subscribes to a single newspaper. They just read tweets and watch MSNBC while actual journalism does. Fuck off

Sorry, what? There’s literally nothing we can do. We voted. The end. Bitching on social media amounts to nothing. Watching the idiots on MSNBC and CNN means zilch. Oh wait? Did you mean “Donate money to people?” IT’S OVER!

But, do what? Protest and be sh0t in the street? Believe that our legal system will rein them in? Win the House in 2026? Will we still have fair elections? That we can trust half the country to care about facts? Feeling sick about our future and what damage they will do in the next couple of years.

When the people vote for it what can you do?

You need to take some lessons in how to not turn people off with blatant hyperbole. Lister has some of what he calls “devils lettuce” and I could ask Holly to replicate some for you. Smeghead!

PLEASE READ... This Duty To Warn Letter to VP Harris and help raise awareness. substack.com/home/post/p-...

I don’t think he “tanked” I really believe his age was starting to get to him combined with the extreme rigors and stress of that ridiculous job plus the nastiness and crap from trump snd the maga mob, and god knows what threats he and his family got. He was caught between a rock and a hard place.

I hope a lot of people, including republicans are lobbying republican Senators to hold the line for democracy… draw a line between Trump/MAGA and democracy… "hold the line for democracy"… keep the Senate in its rightful place as advise and consent on the executive branch… lobby GOP House & Senate…

Stay Vigilant Guardians! 🖖💙☮️

I'll probably be doing it from an interment camp...but yes...we will resist...

Stay in the fight & learn how to fight back. www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

How?

The DNC has failed us with its bloated bureaucracy and squandering our wealth, propping up fascist regimes and arming terrorist insurgencies. As is said, "if you can't beat 'em, join 'em" and I feel we have a better chance of protecting our rights in the GOP than DNC.

Let's Goooooo!!!! #MeidasMighty

Not giving up All of us showing up here En masse Proves that We are stronger than ever True - Still feeling aftershocks It's OK to be disappointed/sad But we are refocusing our sad To mad And positive action Is what is starting to take hold Can't give up We are going to save ourselves

Well said. Totally agree. We must push back the neo-fascists together. All hands on deck.

I sure hope the folks in congress don’t get worn down I hope that they don’t let some slip by as they are blocking others! Every single one he has picked thus far is extremely corrupt and inadequate for the jobs they have been chosen for!

This reminds me of a comment I read by someone who I cannot recall during the first Trump Administration reflecting that he's going to screw things up so bad that we're all going to feel a collective need for punishment

I teach Rise of Authoritarian States

My husband said I use the term cousin fucker too liberally. I’m not open to healing that requires me to let people off the hook for electing a criminal, treasonous, misogynist, racist, rapist, pedophile who has no place in our Democracy and who is nominating a roster of clowns with no experience.

Same. I need to be able to survive and not drop into a deeper depression

I’m here, and I’m staying in the fight.

That is exactly right. I am here for it.

Can you suggest ways to stay vigilant besides being vocal on social media?

I thought fascism thrives on capitalism.

People need to refer back to Naomi Klein’s “Shock Doctrine”.

My nervous system can’t listen to news anchors normalize daily MAGA moments. It’s everywhere. Half of America isn’t afraid. My choosing not to listen isn’t breaking their bank. I need these channels to understand how they are gaslighting and it has to stop.

Narcissist thrive on reaction and response. Best way to combat them is to be completely unbothered and avoid conflict and contact. I think *appearing* apathetic is a good approach. Stay strong and stand tall but don't show emotions and work behind the scenes.

This ad came up when I was looking for information on “Wu Wei,” the Taoist concept of action in inaction. Stay grounded and centered!

We are living the classic parable, "The Scorpion and the Frog ," where a scorpion (Trump) asks a frog (Voters) to carry it across a river, but inevitably stings the frog mid-way, demonstrating the idea that some creatures cannot resist their inherent nature, even if it harms them both. 🤔

I admit. I rolled over and wallowed (I’m hillbilly by birth) in my ache and sadness for a few days. I needed it. But I’m back in the groove again. Meeting next week with my Living Democracy group to plan and prepare for “ What’s next”. 🫡

Yes of course 👌🏻

Never give up, never stop fighting 💙✊️

We need to keep fighting ✊️💙

Also get off Twitter and the social media they control :)

I am disconnecting most mainstream shit about HIM but still engaged otherwise…. I just can’t take another 4 years of non-stop crazy train.

I hope ppl in the government right now are not taking a break, they need to be approving judges, changing federal employees’ status and figuring out what other firewalls they can raise. #BreakGlassMoment

I haven't given up since 2016.

I'm trying but hope keeps getting dashed by all the ugliness.

I've been told so often that politics is boring. I point out that that's how the powers that be want the mob to see it.

👍

The Democrats need to come up with a Plan 2028

And let America fall in the process! It's sickening.

of course it will. then the apathetic electorate will elect Democrats who will try to clean up the mess the magats made & then the magats will blame them for the mess it's text book the Democrats need to learn how to run a campaign. they can ask Obama. he knew how to do it

scary

They’re not waiting. He is already working on how to purge the generals who do not support him — he wants to strip them of rank, pensions (I think) and maybe other penalties. He knows they will not give their troops illegal orders.

A lot We've got to take comfort where we can

We need to take back our power and fight today!

All of America will fall flat on its face….

The sad part is Rump Admin. will cover it up with alternative facts.

It's been very quiet at my house as well for the same reason.

I think we all should just let the Trump clown car travel down the road for a bit, causing just enough chaos to wake some folks up. Does this sound rational to anyone?

We need to network and organize. Local groups. Anyone in Western WA?

It does seem a bit hopeless at the moment. Even here in Canada, we have our own tRump wannabe and it looks like misinformed Canadians will elect him.

I am not backing down from MAGA traitors!

youtu.be/g2wB59zs_Ew?...

It also thrives on stupidity that’s why Trump wants to get rid of education!

Amen

I just need more time to be okay.

Nope. Fascism always dies for a while because people have to go through fascism before they topple it. Let's check out for a few years and end this century's obsession with fascism. Otherwise we won't learn our lesson and keep entertaining it for decades to come.

Democracy dies in the dark. Keep the light shining.

Rebellion.

This. All of this.

It's really difficult not to tune out. What has America done? Did that many people really vote that dictator Felon back in? It's so hard to believe this could possibly be true! He has the country in his pocket now...no gaurdrails no intelligence, no competance, it's absurd!

Do not be apathetic. Do not obey in advance. Do not roll over and take what's handed to you. We need to fight to maintain and reclaim our freedoms I'm getting myself this shirt as a reminder to myself and everyone around me that now is not the time to be lazy leppert-enterprises.printify.me/products

Agreed!!

No one is giving up but honestly there is nothing to fight right now so I am going to sit back and watch the shit show play out.

Illustrates my point perfectly...

The fascist media machine keeps their inflated fascist felon🤡 poster boy in the public eye so he becomes an embedded figure in society where people will either get sick of seeing or start believing his 🐂💩. Stay vigilant in the good fight! 💙🇺🇸🦋

There is still time to organize demos in the USA. This could be a powerful sign to the American people and to the whole world! Fight for democracy! I'd like to see signs like these: RECOUNT votes in swing states! INVESTIGATE Musk's Starlink satellite internet in voting or counting machines!

We'll never allow ourselves to get apathetic and will keep shining a bright light on Republican criminals no matter how powerful they are.

New, clean messaging will help: from this day forward, everything that goes wrong in this country is entirely the fault of the soon-to-be majority and its king.

I am, but it is pointless to talk sense into Magats. I’m only on to at least try.

That's why I stayed on X. They hear from me!

It also thrives on censorship and no one in the media gives a shit about that so….

They never saw Bluesky coming until it was looming over them.

Ah, yes, apathy: the gateway drug to letting your cat run your life. We're in this together, and if there's one thing we won't do, it's give up. Unless it's exercise. Then maybe. But not on this. Keep your eyes open

The pen is mightier than the sword! We will figure out how to block them from doing their dirty work.

👹🔥🔥🔥🔥

I remember when doctors went to medical school and licensed to deliver healthcare & research. NOT politicians!

You are absolutely right, mobilize 💪

True. But pace yourselves. Especially if you've been doing this since 2016. We can't make other people do their jobs. So we must balance our own lives with activism.

Im not tuned out from you. I’m tuned out from MSM and legacy media who selfishly created this mess. They could have ended this like the Dean scream in 2015. I will never give them views directly again.

Everyone is staying in the fight, we just learned not to waste our precious time with mouth breathers. Staying engaged only with communications that secure my self preservation.

Because we are, and no one's willing to do anything that would ACTUALLY change anything...

I still say touch grass, screw the media and the dem party until they figure it out. They have been too busy running to the right and helped push the pendulum to its furthest reach.

Yes!💪🏼

Take back your power. The election is not over. Votes have not been certified. Here are the margins in key swing states. Check my feed for action items

Follow me!! 💙 Thank you!

Trying….

Fighting what ~ the numbers r stacked so all appointments will pass ~ are there any republicans left that hold fast to the constitution ~ the Republican party is now suffocated by the trump political party ~ im one blue dot in the middle of nowhere and clawing to hold on

Indeed! We need to continue to fight online censorship of the authoritarian regime!

No, you're correct.

The death of democracy won't be clearly labeled, and we must remain vigilant as watchdogs of our society to truly comprehend it.

I joined a town hall call with the ACLU last week and it was flooded with maga delusionals . I want to join the resistance just not sure how at this point. Tuning out mainstream news for now …

We are having our first MAGAs coming on here. @bsky.app what are guidelines for this?

We will not surrender!!

Some say petty others say visual queues are quite effective. Ever noticed a hashtag?

Some say pettiness, some say unconscious clues, and habitual subtle indoctrination. Just using a hashtag gets in people's heads. Visual queues are very effective.

I won't be apathetic about my government or my leaders. I will, however, be apathetic to any suffering DJT supporters experience since they voted for it. I will always be salty about that. And petty.

For decades RW bullies spewed anger and fear. Many healthy folks tune out of public discourse because of this uncivility. That is done on purpose. There's an unhealthy dysfunctional drama triangle involving mass media as enablers, RW bullies and passive viewers. #Karpman writ large.

Autocrats also don’t want you do buy a ton of fertilizer and rent a uhaul

Not gonna happen with this lady. I won’t tune out and I will fight because I’m pissed off!

We've been overwhelmed since 2015 when Trump first threw his hat in the ring. We're tired, disappointed, sad and angry. We just need a period to recharge. Once we do, we're just going to rekindle that fire again, and come out stronger than ever! Fighters never lose the fight.

Always
