Turn off their reality tv and read or watch Rachel et al.

Parents will likely resist as if their kids can read, that would make them woke elitists.

An analogy I've been using - Dems are like the good guy that a girl likes to keep as her "friend", while she continuously dates the bad boy that lies, cheats, and treats her like shit. Then she runs to the good guy friend to soothe her after they break up. Then as soon as the bad boy comes back promising the moon and stars, there she goes again.

Yes we will all suffer through this, but perhaps Dems should not be so quick to try to save everyone from the pain this administration is about to unleash. Let them see what they voted for.

All they know is Donnie is a billionaire celebrity which means he must be smarter and better than everyone else when it comes to fiscal matters 🙄

The majority of voters voted to do so or didn't even care enough to vote.

That's what kept many of us from joining with some of our family over the holidays. The entire Republican Party has embraced the absolute worst traits of humanity & shunned the best. They are lockstep in their cruelty. I'm dumbfounded that so many people who have always seemed decent & caring, don't see that or just don't care. Withholding aid from fire victims cuz you don't like their politics? WTF is going on? I feel like they've been taken over by something alien.

Most people have been taken over by pure evil.

There's the ruling class, the merchant class, & the peasants. Oh & the clergy, to scare us all into staying in line.

Calling it since way back in the 1990s.

- with your political observations, you've hit the nail right on the head and driven the point deep. It amazes me to see how many millions of people deny the truth playing out before their very eyes. Until the middle classes feel their lives and livelihoods are actually being threatened or imposed upon, nothing is going to alter the kakistocracy's momentum. Shut down turn off MSM and institute campaign reforms, we have a shadow of a chance. Thank you once again, Malaise.

“They would rather protect the possibility of becoming rich than face the reality of being poor, and that is why they will follow us, to the Right!”

50 frigging years after the song was written.

Crazy shit

I think it will take 1-2 years for some of them to figure it out; many will never get it.
It all depends on their ability to endure financial and social pain. The whole anti-woke movement is predicated on maintaining an ignorant populace. If the illusions regarding how things will be under Trump break, it's going to be a hard time for Republicans. If they doesn't, it's going to be a hard time for Democrats.
Either way, chaos and pain will be a large part of the American Way for the foreseeable future.

And there is nothing you can tell them to change their minds. The only way is for them to experience horrendous things and of course the 🍑💩🤡 will blame the Democrats who aren’t even going to be in power. And when the 🍑💩🤡 gets us into a war and the incels get drafted then we shall see!

Just see how they can blaming my Governor Newsom for a natural disaster that was not in his control. Mother Nature doesn’t care about political parties.

that is the case, then we are NOT going to take back the House and Senate in 2026 and we will NEVER win another presidential election.

The MAGA voters hold all the power right now. They are the only thing the GOP fears. They could give two shits about what we Democrats think. And they own the Supreme Court.

We need the MAGAs. We need to open their eyes and get them to turn on Trump. But . . . how???

MAGAs are the results of the Tea Party, White Supremacists, and Christian Nationalists...they believe in a White Christian nation!

Even if Christ were to appear and admonish them for being misled, they would crucify him again!

You can't open the eyes those who wish to remain intentionally blind!

because of our lack of vigilance for the past few decades, it is all on us now. No one can do it for us, and blaming anyone else is pointless.

Because wealth and power die with their owners. The hopeful masses live on to continue the fight against concentrated wealth and power.
It might not be when we want but it nevertheless will be.

'I don't think anyone voted for that': Trump's own fans bracing for 'catastrophic' cuts

Educators and families in areas where Donald Trump's "America First" place seemed to resonate the most could be hit with "catastrophic" cuts.

Tom Gambrel, the superintendent of Bell County, Kentucky, schools, joined most of his neighbors and cast his vote for Trump with his students in mind, but he told CNN that he hopes the president-elect doesn't carry through with his plan to cut federal education funding.

“I don’t think that anyone in our county wants to cut our school funding," Gambrel said, "and I don’t think that anyone voted for that."

Gambrel said the proposed cuts would be “catastrophic," forcing teacher layoffs, packing more students into classrooms and getting less attention for vulnerable students.

What did the superintendent who voted for Trump think was going to happen? How did he think Trump was going to give the rich their tax cuts?

in his poem entitled “sept 1, 1939”.


There is no such thing as the State
And no one exists alone…
We must love one another or die.

Defenceless under the night
Our world in stupor lies;
Yet, dotted everywhere,
Ironic points of light
Flash out wherever the Just
Exchange their messages:
May I, composed like them
Of Eros and of dust,
Beleaguered by the same
Negation and despair,
Show an affirming flame.

Jimmy Carter and others showed us the way. All we have to do is to listen.

Speak the English of the masses if you want the masses to hear your message. Using words that have to be defined to the average person is such a loser of a strategy.

Put it in terms they can relate to. Defending norms ain't it. They simply don't give two fucks.

And proud of it.

We are all fucked.
