The right thinks it’s fun and games right now. But AOC certainly has appeal. Let’s see if they’re still laughing when President AOC is inaugurated with all the powers they’ve given Trump. The last two months have taught me that legislation doesn’t need to be passed (congress and judges can just be ignored), it just needs to be declared. Universal health care, ban assault weapons, and huge tax increases on the rich? Just issue an executive order. Done! /s (sort of)
I’m glad AOC and Bernie are out there fighting with a popular message.
This coming from the guy who still holds on to the belief that communism is the answer.I cant believe you think there will be free elections again in the US. Its over pal.
The scary thing is, look how much our current demagogue and his cronies and handlers learned about taking control of American government. Punch them in the mouth and all their plans go out the window. We will likely weather this storm and come through it ok in the end as the public outcry slowly turns into action to counter this coup attempt. So to take this one step further, how much more is that faction learning from their losses and how much stronger plans will the next demagogue have in attempting to complete what I believe Trump will inevitable fail at? That's the really frightening thing in all this, that yes, the current coup attempt is unsettling and highly disappointing, but the lessons learned by the team that will support the next demagogue will make the next coup attempt truly terrifying. I'm sure they will lean much more heavily into censorship and physical violence against dissenters and will engage the military to put down opposition much earlier. The real test as to whether we learn anything from all this as a society will be what safeguards we put in place to head off the next attempt. Because you better believe this has greatly emboldened any and all parties who have the same ambitions and the next attempt will be planned out even better and very likely lean more heavily into violence to put down dissent. The question isn't whether we can weather this storm, but can we be protective and prescient enough to put the right controls in place to stop the next one before it starts, because your better believe it will happen again.The right thinks it’s fun and games right now.

“Rent-a-crowd”?! Boy, you have to be dumber than dirt to think all these people were paid. That’s the best MAGA can come up with: “we need to find some way to indicate this is not really happening, and these 34,000 people are, in no way, concerned with the direction of their country”. Think about that. That is THE BEST MAGA and their merry army of trolls can come up with: do not believe what your eyes are seeing. Stupid people believe stupid things. Imagine being so effing dumb, that you think you can convince people that there are no citizens concerned with the direction Trump and Musk are taking the country. All they do is launch their tweet search for tweets that confirm their own delusional fantasies. Anybody fooled?? Imagine: you make it your mission to try and convince a message board that there really is not that much pushback, in the United States, against Trump and Musk!! Now, that's a Mission Impossible!
You have it exactly backwards. Believe what your eyes are seeing. A rally in reliably democrat Colorado doesn't matter at all. Colorado was voting democrat before and will vote democrat going forward so it is a gain of zero for the democrats.That is THE BEST MAGA and their merry army of trolls can come up with: do not believe what your eyes are seeing.
You’re asking him for a source? lolSource?
I truly don’t know how we dig ourselves out of this hole other than promote better sources of information and wait for the majority of this boomer brainwashed generation to pass.They convinced half the nation that a free and fair election was stolen. They convinced half the nation that people were eating pets. Convincing them that a rally was fake is as easy as it gets. Just say it, hell just imply it, and it's done. A single tweet and it's done. Half the country will believe it. It's the nature of the cult. They have to believe everything said to them or they have to start questioning their religious beliefs and that's the last thing anyone will ever do.
Below is a new poll showing the same lack of support for a President AOC. Despite going on a promotional tour with Bernie Sanders, AOC is trailing Kamala Harris by 31 points. Pete Buttigieg has double AOC's backing. AOC is tied with Tim Walz and Gavin Newsom.Source?
If I didn't work today I would be down to participate.What we really need is a good ole million person march on Washington…..

'Hands Off!' protests against Trump and Musk are planned across the US

WASHINGTON (AP) — Opponents of President Donald Trump and billionaire Elon Musk plan to rally across the U.S. on Saturday to protest the administration’s actions on government downsizing, the economy, human rights and other issues.
More than 1,200 “Hands Off!” demonstrations have been planned by more than 150 groups, including civil rights organizations, labor unions, LBGTQ+ advocates, veterans and elections activists. The protests are planned for the National Mall in Washington, D.C., state capitols and other locations in all 50 states.
Protesters are assailing the Trump administration’s moves to fire thousands of federal workers, close Social Security Administration field offices, effectively shutter entire agencies, deport immigrants, scale back protections for transgender people and cut federal funding for health programs.
