They are breaking laws. Dems seem to be reacting with the normal methods of response to an unprecedented crisis. Trump has made this response ineffective. We need people in high places to contact others in high places who can seize this unconstitutional administration, WE must save our democracy!

Voters in red states must demand their Reps hold town halls so they can get their questions answered by the folks they put into office last Nov. But if Democrats have extra time, by all means go to red districts in your state & listen to the people vent. Not sure it’ll make a difference though.

Now you know what the right felt like until Trump won. You guys tried to use every bogus legal argument and somehow still lost. Yet you had control over the Presidency, MSM, academia, Hollywood, the Senate, 12 of 16 years picking judges. And yet you lost, and are now crying about it.

Yes Andrew, but your 'normal times' tactics, and those of all the hosts and guests on MSNBC don't work—legislation, litigation, elections, even public outrage. THESE ARE NOT NORMAL TIMES and that playbook was obsolete some time ago. You know it, we know it. But you've given us nothing else.

Right now the biggest thing each and every one of us can do is to 'vote' every day with every single dollar that you spend. Collectively that can have a huge impact. Starve his supporters! Don't buy any product or service from Trump boot lickers.

Too late for that. We've already obeyed in advance. We did it, irretrievably when we handed over unlimited power to a Mad King in a "peaceful transfer of power", knowing full well what he would do with it. "Never Again!" was our big lie, and it has cost us dearly. The Dark Ages have arrived.

There have been many honorable Republicans who held honest elections, refused to drop legal cases on command, and defended public buildings with their lives. Putting down whole groups of people this way is part of how the Democrats lost that election.

I liked the suggestion of going to @justsecurity.org and looking at the court case filings, clicking on "parties and attorneys" and finding nonprofits, etc. who've signed on so you can support them.

Arthur A Bundy
@arthurbundy.bsky.social

Thank you. I also think that judges are putting in place injunctions to shut them down. A very important injunction would be to shut down the Trump administration mass firings and the legislative agenda of the GOP in Congress. By looking into how these measures are cruel and unusual punishment.

redslider.bsky.social
@redslider.bsky.social

Arthur, I think such measures should be done, but will hardly hold back a Mad King with unlimited power. All normal-times playbook stuff he can ignore or crush as he wishes. We're going to suffer, but tactics like this may help slow things down, if we DO THEM NOW.

Arthur A Bundy
@arthurbundy.bsky.social

To establish how they expect issues to be dealt with. A recall of Trump would require a petition drive and ballot measures in at least 38 States. FDR said, “Necessitous men are not free men”. I keep adjusting, this thing.

Arthur A Bundy

I added "All Legislators shall be required to meet with their constituents on a quarterly basis. They need to face who they are responsible too". This was already there. "All legislation shall be designed to establish the needs of the People before profits"

The DNC must put together an elite computer group. Democrats won in 2018 is because the DNI, Dan Coats, shut down the Russian GRU. He was fired for that. Trump disbanded anti-Russian cyber ops. In 2022 Russia will help Trump. Dems must be able to stop them. Experts are now conveniently available.

@jonathanscherch.bsky.social

Our leaders need to project a coherent, aligned and believable plan for public to rally support. GOP did so with P25 (it seems). Offering better ideas is not a heavy lift -- use media more effectively, be timely in response to events, align talk points, stiffen resolve with solutions. #makeaplan

DHBtattoos Rochester, NY
@dhbtattoos.bsky.social

P25 wasn’t voted for by the majority of the 33% of eligible voters who voted for Turmp. They voted based on inflation. They still think that isn’t happening. Yes, we need a counter plan, but it has to come from the people, not the Dems. The majority of Dems are sold out to billionaires and aipac.

gizmoflyslow.bsky.social
@gizmoflyslow.bsky.social

You are wrong. They didn't vote because of inflation. They voted out of deep-seated hatred, fear, and racism that was always in their hearts and minds. They simply needed a feral creature to give them permission to show their true nature to the world. I wish I was wrong.

bythoughts.bsky.social
@bythoughts.bsky.social

Maybe. But the Democrats walked into it. The more racism was reduced, the more numerous the diversity officials and trainings and pronouns and all that jazz. There was never a clear exit plan on the table: "once we get HERE, we put all this stuff away and focus on merit". So somebody made one.

DHBtattoos Rochester, NY
@dhbtattoos.bsky.social

The core of maga are the people you speak of, but I have talked to people with family members who voted for Turmp in the most uninformed way possible. There are still people convinced that P2025 is not happening! When have to recruit regret voters, not shame them!

The Kremlin had been cultivating Trumpo for at least 5 years before his 2016 win. Throughout Trumpo's 2016 campaign, he praised Putin. He also regularly defended him during his 1st term and said he was brilliant, before confirming he'd love to go to Moscow and do deals with him. He's Putin's puppet.
