Trump's biggest enemy is Trump: use his own statements against him. His catastrophically bad press comments after the DC crash are a prime exhibit, rivaling his Covid meltdowns in 2020.
I'm 74 and completely dependent on my SS for income. I now hear Kennedy is being advanced to the head of HHS. Without proper health services and some extortion or reduction of our SS or at the least leaving old folks worried every day about everything, it is as cruel as it gets next to Noem wanting to put women and children in Guantanamo. My anxiety level is off the charts. I'm concerned my heart won't survive these attacks
I’m 84, and completely reliant on Social Security also. My concern is that our money, instead of showing up in our bank accounts will go into their pockets. They are addicted to money the way others are addicted to heroin or alcohol.
Apologies if you have seen this before, but one way to fight back was promoted on substack by Timothy Snyder (On Tyranny) a while back. The Democrats must get louder to respond forcefully to the administration blitz. They can form form a Democratic People's Cabinet, our best folks fighting, calling out illegalities, and presenting an alternative vision. Please >repost< and sign this petition! Over 4.5K signers so far!
The silence about him and our co-President Elon Musk is deafening! What is it going to take? SCOTUS made him a king. There are no guardrails. We just let them walk in and take over our gov't and treasury and computer systems and there is no one to stop them? If this were the DEMS he would have sent out his militia. We are in a coup. We have all of his words. 10 years of his words. Lawsuits filled with his words. Books quoting him verbatim, audio, video. What more do we need? He got away with murder because we allowed dark money and religion and Russia and China into our gov't and they knew he would be easy to manipulate for a buck and a kiss of his ring. He's golfing while our country burns.
Don't be surprised if a lot of his MAGA claque hooted and guffawed at his "swimming" remark...let's not kid ourselves that tRump is alone in his lack of empathy and overt cynicism, as there remains millions in thrall to the man and everything that emerges from his cloacal maw.
“Cloacal maw”…Thanks for that; I’ll use it repeatedly. Reminds me of the protest poster I saw during the 2020 election which said, “There are only two types of people who give Trump high approval ratings: dissociative short-term-memory suffering microphallus malcontents, and the people who need to look a few of those words up.”
I want a place to toss out my ideas for a more coherent discussion about what is the best messaging and how to retaliate against Trump/Musk.
President Musk and his henchman Trump are dominating the narrative
Get some attractive women and men to deliver the best messages. Sorry that is definitely sexist but America likes and vote for attractive people. Younger as well. There r plenty of them. No celebrity faces.
Who r we trying to convince here? I’m definitely in ur camp. Unless I die before the next election I’ll be there
1. Election safety. After this past election we r wondering how did Trump win?
Go one better; demand all voters to show pictured identification. But, set up a way to help the voters get the Identification
That would take a grass root organization. I worked for EDS. Years ago. We did grass roots work. To switch over to a card to use for food stamps. Lots of people have this kind of experience.
What do conservative homeschooling moms need? Not vouchers paid for by the taxpayers for the rich. Make them feel valuable to the public. They vote and love that loony RFK jr
They love home birth. Make our new and improved American health system cover that. Get ideas from doulas.
Remember when Lbj ran? The cute toddler in the meadow and the nuclear bomb in the backyard. Remember when Russia said they would bury us? This is real stuff. We could easily be in a major war in 5 years. Fear and we r going to be stronger. Not with the draft.
Pay down the debt. Make it on the backs of the damned super rich. If we want the poor to vote for us. A little class warfare is good. Get Warren buffet, bill gates and jimmy dimon to help
Point out how we got the debt. Tax cuts for billionaires. War debt from the Middle East borrowed from China. China could call in that debt.
Sovereign fund like Norway. No politicians can use it
Help people in the climate change crisis. Fossil fuels r the issue but that’s next to impossible to solve yet. Make the places that r dangerous to live in safer. I’m sure there r plenty of experts to help. Be loud
Get on the road. Show ur faces. Social media. We need fighters at this point
Avian influenza. Make a show of stopping it. It is killing farmers in America. I say we r going to help farmers. And not just to kill fowl. I know we could use flu vaccines but don’t because of some groups won’t accept them. Change that. Promise that it will work for everyone. Do u need grassroots support? I’m paying 12.00 dollars for eggs.
Btw, Obama was a grass roots organizer before he was elected president. Michelle had an eating healthy and exercise program. Be stronger than loony RFK jr. bring in family farmers. They have great ideas
Do we want a guy who didn’t run for office who while drug addled to be running around with hands on trillions of taxpayers money in the treasury? He isn’t legally allowed to be there
I listened to AOC tonight on TikTok. Trump and Elon r pushing for a giant tax cut for their billionaire friends. So right now everything is on the chopping block. She spoke of our giant military budget. I didn’t realize that these tech bros all have large contracts with the government. It’s complicated and requires some serious attention. Honestly who do we explain that to folks who can’t figure out that Trump is a crook out to destroy the country
So tired of reading all the ways trump COULD be taken down, if only someone had the starch in their spine to do so. All the repubs and too many Dems have already folded, leaving the rest of us to twist in the wind, trying to outlive this mf and hoping our (our?) nation will survive this clusterf*ck.
Every time the Orange Felon talks about his destructive policies that harm the American people then the Democrats must show up and speak out against his actions of overreaching.
I urge everyone to join Adam Kinziger's "Country First." The other day, Kinziger led a group of Democratic Senators to visit USAID, and Musk's goons would not let them in the building - and these are sitting Senators, so that's illegal! That began an outcry that I think will lead to legal action against Musk.
But what can WE do? Every Thursday afternoon Adam's group does a Zoom focused on taking action. Last week he got 100 of us online to all call our Congresspeople. We were directed to connect via our laptops so our phones would be free to call. We saw 100 of us calling our Senators right then and there.
Also, sign up for Indivisible. They also do weekly Zooms that are very motivating, and full of specific action steps we can take.
And donate to the lawyers that are suing Trump every gosh-darn day. Democracy Forward and Public Citizen are two good groups.
Don't just rant and cry here - take action, good people.
I see the mentally impaired breaking the laws. I see a mass psychosis across our country. I see Democrats in a stupor and unable to respond effectively. We do not need a shadow cabinet. We need to muster an army. An army of truth sayers. An army of ridiculers. https://hotbuttons.substack.com/p/mentally-impaired-psychopathic-neo?r=3m1bs
Tristan, he hasn't hoodwinked the "media". They've jumped in with both feet. They WANT the clicks & chaos for revenue. Sadly, they'll take the rest of us down with them when he throws them under the bus. He always does.
Have been sharing this EVERYWHERE! This is information and a letter you can copy and send to the treasury putting them on notice that you feel your civil rights may have been violated under the Privacy Act of 1974 by Musk….
To understand better how the Orange guy thinks it’s worth checking out Mary Trump’s substack and her YouTube channel. Donboy is a narcissist; he lives in a world where everything is about him. He is incapable of empathy, sympathy, probably even love. He remembers every slight and insult as if they happened today and that is what drives his need for revenge. He thinks he is being the big guy but actually the more he does the more pathetic he looks. America and the world will look back at him with pity, not respect.
I have been grappling with how to get all these unhinged inept ramblings in front of a broadening audience ("IS ANYONE ELSE SEEING THIS??") - he just can't help himself, and we can capitalize on that big time -

Absolutely!!! Im disabled and depend on SSI, SNAP, Medicaid, and Housing, so I get you.

Sorry. Exposing him to be a callous, moronic imbecile isn't going to STOP him. It'll make him mad, but he's chronically angry anyway.

Btw, Obama was a grass roots organizer before he was elected president. Michelle had an eating healthy and exercise program. Be stronger than loony RFK jr. bring in family farmers. They have great ideas
Btw. Elon musk is addicted to drugs. The reason he seems so excited is because he takes ketamine and other drugs. His stockholders r
Concerned about his excessive use of drugs.
Do we want a guy who didn’t run for office who while drug addled to be running around with hands on trillions of taxpayers money in the treasury? He isn’t legally allowed to be there
I listened to AOC tonight on TikTok. Trump and Elon r pushing for a giant tax cut for their billionaire friends. So right now everything is on the chopping block.

We need better writers for messaging. Trump has used Steven Cheung for years.
So tired of reading all the ways trump COULD be taken down, if only someone had the starch in their spine to do so. All the repubs and too many Dems have already folded, leaving the rest of us to twist in the wind, trying to outlive this mf and hoping our (our?) nation will survive this clusterf*ck.

We can plainly see the danger our country is in.

However, a few minutes ago, the deadline for the FBI came and went.
By COB today, every FBI agent in the nation will be out of a job.
They will be replaced by Proud Boys and the like.
So it doesn't matter about the Bloated Yam...Elon Musk, Kash Patel, and Stewart Rhodes run the secret police, and THAT IS ALL THAT MATTERS.
Tristan, he hasn't hoodwinked the "media". They've jumped in with both feet. They WANT the clicks & chaos for revenue. Sadly, they'll take the rest of us down with them when he throws them under the bus. He always does.
