    I saw a trump supporter on twitter say he could see Trump raping his mother right in front of him and he would still vote for him.

    That is what we are up against and all these nut jobs are going to have a free for all for the next four years.

      Social media really sucked the meaning out of words, didn’t they? Goddamn.

      That person will likely never change but it doesn’t matter. We need to focus most importantly on empowering and mobilizing those who are already against Trump and focusing on those who either don’t yet have an opinion on Trump (yes they exist), those who are on the fence about him and make our case. Expand our base.

      For people in the don’t like Trump category we must teach them how effectively resist him. I think the single most important action is working on building a powerful opposition who will run in local races in 2025 and nationally in 2026. We must work to get as many Democratic votes as possible. Don’t sleep on 2025 because depending on where you live there could be judges up for election or election commissioners. It depends on where you live.

        You don’t win by just saying ‘get more Democratic votes’.

        Trump won because he convinced people he was a solution for the corruption. If you want votes for someone else, offer specific solutions to address those concerns. People are fed up with politicians. If you want to sway those votes to blue you’re going to have to offer something beyond business as usual.

        There might be a need to focus on those that see your comment as super naive. Trump’s January 20th, 2025 “deportation” is the beginning of something completely different that the United States hasn’t seen since … I don’t know which US reign of terror against which minority to use as a comparison but yeah the idea of voting out a Hitler sounds so not in tune with the upcoming reality.

        And there is no stockpile of weapons or warriors or whatever to take on the resources available to Trump transforming the Office of the President of the United States of America to the Throne of Trump.

          It’s terrifying, I too worry that what happens will be worse than anything we’ve seen before too.

          I didn’t quite understand your first sentence. Would you be able to elaborate more on what you mean?
