I’ve thought this 4 a long time but it has become so clear that politicians love 2 just hear themselves talk because nothing they ramble on about ever changes anything & then those who advocate stepping up don’t get the sense of hopelessness & despair! Maybe they should take their own advice!

This might anger some people but all I thought when I saw the protests yesterday was where were these people on Election Day?What exactly do they think we can do now 2 get rid of Trump & his equally dangerous group of sycophants?It should NEVER have come 2 this & the damage may be irreparable!!!

The amount of time the media is spending on Tapper’s book is unconscionable! He should be ashamed of himself. Just another example of Dems eating their own! No wonder they can’t win.Leave the man in peace!They should be focusing on getting Schumer out and finding a new leader cuz Jeffries isn’t it!

results.All other branches of gov’t have abdicated their responsibilities.I saw this coming but it’s even worse than I thought because of people like Stephen Miller,RFK Jr.,etc. I fear our country as we once knew it is lost forever!

It has become very clear that Trump & his cabinet have no intention of following any rules whatsoever.What is even more disturbing is no one is trying 2 stop him in any meaningful way.Most people have already accepted this is how it’s going 2 be.Dems attempts r strictly optics w/no tangible (1 of 2)

Everyday I hear the outrage about how Trump is breaking the law,ignoring the Constitution & the judges rulings,bypassing Congress-in other words,doing whatever he wants (causing real harm in the process).Meanwhile Dems r completely inept-Schumer needs 2 go,Jeffries isn’t the guy to lead.(1 of 3)

I would like someone,ANYONE,to stop complaining & come up with one idea how to stop this insanity!I don’t even know if Trump can be stopped but until then,I’m tired of all the posts about all the horrible things he is doing! It solves nothing but a way 4 people to vent.That won’t save this country!

I’m a film/series fanatic & I just watched Adolescence on Netflix.Other than their making the episodes in one take,can anyone tell me what I’m missing that it’s being called a masterpiece & the most important movie in years.I really don’t get all the hype.It’s total media coverage wherever u look.

R people really still listening 2 people like Carville & Axelrod?They r exactly what Dems don’t need right now-always attacking their own,no show of unity ever!They r not even relevant in current political climate.Same w/Schumer & Jeffries.Need complete overhaul-start over. No chance otherwise.

All these ridiculous ideas r just useless optics.They shld just not go-he doesn’t deserve their respect BUT unless they ALL don’t go 2 show a unified front,don’t bother! Also,they should b prepared 4 the backlash u know will come & show some spine when it does.Basically,just act like a Republican.

Do u really think that’s what pro-Trump people took from this?They r eating all this stuff up-they can’t get enough of his bullying tactics.Any 1 who is anti-Trump already knows this abt him. The question is will any of our allies have the guts 2 cut ties w/Trump?So far,they have all caved,1 by 1.

I don’t see anything funny about this.That’s part of the problem.Everything isn’t a joke.This is just the beginning of what’s to come.If people become de-sensitized to this,it will become acceptable behavior.History repeating itself!! Don’t think it can’t happen here.It’s already started!

had to listen 2 him preach about what a threat 2 democracy Trump would be.It was equally galling to me to see Obama laughing it up w/Trump @ Carter’s funeral.It felt like a slap in the face & a kick in the gut 4 fighting for them.They no longer have anything 2 say of value 2 me.They don’t get it.(2)

Is there NO ONE who is not intimidated by Trump/Musk? Why are all these people resigning?Are they being threatened?Probably.The Rep Party is no more.It is officially the MAGA/Musk party.Is there no one willing to stand against them?I’m so sick of every1 telling the Ds 2 do something.Where r the Rs?

I’ve come 2 see Dems r in a no win situation.When they r in power,no matter what they try 2 do to better people’s lives(& they do try),all u hear from people is ‘but why didn’t u do this?’No gratitude,no standing behind their efforts.When they’re out of power,all of a sudden people screaming (1)

“Do something! How could u let this happen?” When MAGA is in power,every little thing that is done (usually either a lie or certainly not 2 help average citizen) is yelled from the rooftops by supporters as the most amazing thing.When they r out of power,they play the victims-it’s the Dems,(2)

the Deep State- blame anyone else.Why do people never go after Reps/MAGA?They just fall in line.Why is it always the responsibility of the Dems 2 capitulate & compromise?Why is it always the Dems being told 2 tone their rhetoric down?I’m so sick of it!

Is anyone else wondering where all the pro-Palestine protesters are after Trump’s Gaza statement?Where is their outrage now?The irony is Trump thrives on outrage.He wants everyone angry all the time.That’s how he gets away w/everything he does.Chaos,distraction are his bread & butter!

To make matters worse,why r the Dems confirming Trump’s people? How is it possible that they really r doing nothing?There has to be some recourse 4 this but I truly can’t think of any1 who is going 2 actually do something.Just screaming about it is useless & they’re not even doing that! Learned 0.

I truly don’t understand how ANYBODY incl. MAGA people r okay w/what Musk is doing!How r any elected officials allowing him to just come in & take over?There is so much horror going on now that I knew Trump would do.I knew Musk bought him the election but this?I don’t get the lack of action abt it.

I don’t know if it is meant as a figure of speech or not but I don’t understand people posting they think serious things happening everyday w/serious (2 put it mildly) consequences 4 ALL of us r hilarious,funny,serves MAGA right-None of this is funny! It’s terrifying & real & only going 2 get worse!

I’m really saying this 4 the last time! State-run media is in full effect & has been 4 a long time.A total monopoly on MSM (yes CNN,even MSNBC,print,podcasts,even local news (mostly Sinclair owned & let’s not forget VOA which those abroad count on (Kari Lake put in charge-really?)Dems are (1)

Now Trump has all social media outlets,tech sector,etc behind him.It’s all transactional.Truth doesn’t matter. It’s all abt what sparks attention 2 cause outrage.Hate 4 hate sake. I thought it might let up once Trump back in office but it’s only getting worse. Ds better come up with/a strategy (3)

Learn how 2 get in the trenches w/Trump & his loyalists. 1 thing u can say is Rs stick together in their lies.Ds eat their own(I can’t believe they’re still doing interviews ripping Biden 2 shreds!)MOVE ON! Stop quoting the Constitution,the intricacies of law! No 1 is listening! (Sorry so long)(End)

not equipped 4 this. It’s not in their DNA 2 hammer media non-stop w/disinformation 24/7. Plus there’s really no hi profile podcasts or other online avenues. It was never abt policy,solutions,egg prices! It’s abt sparking outrage,vitriol & hate! Picking buzzwords people remember.(2)

If the claims are correct that people get their news from social media now (not MSM-cable,print,etc) which is predominantly MAGA,right-wing,all Trump all the time,then a new paradigm has 2 be developed for people to return to tuning in cable news,etc.For 4 yrs.,they almost never mentioned Biden (1 )

& if they did it was usually negative.I never thought of it as left wing media-it 2 was all Trump.It is still the same old,same old.Trump will spend the next 4 yrs. breaking the law,enriching himself financially,doing whatever he wants with the full backing of his loyalists & it seems even some (2)

I never thought I’d see the day I didn’t watch a presidential inauguration regardless of who it was but I just couldn’t. I am not just emotionally devastated but I get physically ill when I see this man or hear his voice.That includes all his sychophants.I’ve been in media blackout since pre-11/5.

Did any1 see the movie “Rollerball” years ago when tech,NRG,corps. ruled the world,not govts.? We have officially entered this new dystopian world! We saw that today w/who was given priority @ inauguration.Haves vs have nots will only escalate.Everything will be transactional.See it if you can!

It has now become the same old same old.Trump says something 2 shock everyone.Media believes it,normalizes it & rants & raves abt it ad infinitum.Nothing changes.Just going round in circles over & over.No wonder people are tuning out.It’s all so predictable & boring this time around.

The way MSM (including print)reports on Trump’s craziness & ineptitude drives me insane! For instance,they are not untruths or alternate facts,they are LIES! When he comes up w/absurd ideas (his latest Greenland,etc),it’s not interesting to see what will happen,it’s terrifying,dangerous (1 of 2)

& insane! When they talk abt cutting programs 4 hungry kids,they call it food-insecurity-it’s HUNGER! When he appoints his unqualified loyalists,it’s just another reality show 2 them.There are real consequences 2 these decisions not being discussed.& he has all branches of gov’t in his pocket!(2/2)

The Dems are useless.They talk a big game but when the time comes,which appears to be every day now,they cower & just slink away!Someone has to train them in messaging because they are horrible at it.It’s the one thing they could learn from the Reps

I’ve come to feel Biden may not have been the President we needed now.Some of his worse mistakes. 1.Hiring Garland & not firing him. 2.Thinking we were still in an era of bipartisanship & refusing to fight w/fire. 3.Thinking actions speak louder than words-never touting his (1 of 2)

accomplishments so people think he never did anything.(It didn’t help that the media never talked about it)Now that things r kicking in,you can be sure Trump will take credit as has the congress in their districts who voted against.It infuriated me he called the Biden Infrastructure Act bipartisan.

I know I’m dating myself but did anyone see a movie in 1970’s called “Rollerball”?It turned out 2 be scarily prophetic.It took place in a dystopian future where the world was no longer controlled by governments but by corporations i.e. tech,energy,etc. I see this happening now with (1 of 2)
