I would like to see Democratic politicians just fucking lean into this and repeat it every day until Nov 3, 2026.

And please note...I am not being critical of Democratic politicians OR saying they are NOT making the public aware of this.

What I AM saying is that WE KNOW Trump will "Flood The Zone" with BULLSHIT to distract people from this.

WE KNOW the more his record is held to scrutiny, the more he'll pull reality TV show BULLSHIT.

Every time he tries to wriggle away from this, every time he says BULLSHIT like "If you spit, we will hit," we need to remind people of what his PARDONED MAGAts did to Capitol Cops. EVERY TIME.

And I'm not enough of a political scholar to know what CAN be done, but I think there is...at MINIMUM...a 50-50 chance that Trump will CAUSE a "national emergency" and use that as justification to cancel the midterms.

There was a time in the not-so-distant past where a statement like that would justifiably be considered tinfoil hat nonsense.

Now, it requires contingency plans on our part.

Just a few days ago we were talking about Elon and Trump’s bill bankrupting America. Now this.

is throwing his dangerous sick ambitions of being a full blown dictator against the wall to see if it sticks, he will not succeed, if we have anything to say about it.

...there are too many steps required to lay all of them out in one post, but a very valid point...no one can be operating in a vacuum right now. We need to contact our elected officials...Republican, Democrat, that's not a deciding factor in picking up the phone...if they have been elected to represent you, CALL THEM. And, interact with other voters, especially the ones who are exhausted, jaded, and numb. BECAUSE THAT'S EXACTLY HOW TRUMP WANTS THEM.

Are affected by all of this they aren’t going to care. Most folks are still just going about their normal daily lives, oblivious to the destruction of our democracy. If it doesn’t slap them or someone they love right in the chops, they aren’t gonna give a rats ass.
