Maybe you should learn to to properly phrase things: project 2025 (not 26). WE did NOT vote for this fuckwad. So please stop trying to play. You are embarrassing yourself

Not all of us did. Not even most of us. Geez, give us some credit. Most of the idiots who believe whatever he says and who voted for the Orange Turnip and his buddies wanted cheap groceries and gas. Dumb. Hope they are sticking their noses in it now.

Orange turnip? Hmm? That's definitely the most angry response I've seen with no cuss words. Bravo!

FYI...in 2024 73.6% of the voting-age population (174 million people) were registered to vote. Only 65.3% or 154 million people voted. The results of the election might have been different had the other 20 million hold outs voted.

So, saying "He fooled ALL you Americans" is stretch.

We didn’t “all” fall for his bullshit. This American hasn’t voted for that FUCK NOT ONCE. Not in a single fucking election he ran in. You’re on the wrong forum saying we fell for his lies bc a huge majority on Substack here hate his guts.

Fuck Trump! If I were a student I’d be so pissed. I’d look for another country to enroll in - take my money and talent elsewhere!

I just don’t get how he can have his hands so deep into everything.

Totalitarian regime.

Why would anyone want to stay in this country. We have a rogue SCOTUS with neutered Republicans, scared democrats, and a demented President.

This is our country and they are ruining it..How can the republican party want this? I thought they was the party who wanted less government..now they are o.k. with a dictator? It doesn't add up, they are literally making America a shit place to live and not a place to be proud of. Our infrastructure and technology is already behind a lot of other civilized countries and now we have to deal with a racist idiot dictator. How did we allow this...I totally look at his supporters differently. It a wtf look for sure.

Republicans should understand that a Trump primary threat is a Badge of Honor to the overwhelming majority of Americans. Trump’s primary threats against a Republican means that Congressional Representative or Republican Senator is trying to Represent their Constituents not the President. Those Republicans are honoring their oaths to the Constitution not to a wannabe dictator/king who attempted to overthrow the US Government. WE ALL watched the US Capital get attacked for 3 hours! The World 🌎 watched the United States Capital get attacked for 3 hours! While the Commander in Chief let cops get killed! And would have let his Vice President get hanged.

We didn’t forget.

We are also remembering the Revolutionary War - No Taxation Without Representation!!!

Who are you representing now??

We the people or The President and his minions like Elon and Stephen Miller?

Right, but only once. I am at every event I can find in Dallas on the weekends. And numbers are dwindling, people are already tired. Very disorganized, even though I am signed up to get all the notifications. We need 10m people in the streets (3%) at a bare minimum or the gop is not going to care.

IMO, all the representatives should have Medicaid. Not the best drs or insurance. And they should not be able to get other insurance. Either have Medicaid or nothing. They should have what the bottom has. And they should not get a raise (it is in the bill). Their pay should stay capped and only go up if EVERYONE else gets more too.

100% all politicians should also only be paid whatever the federal minimum wage is. that would incentivize them to raise it annually for the cost of living.

Vote them all out in the midterms. He’s doing fundraising now, but it doesn’t matter how much money he throws around. When this bill goes through that’s it, blue all the way.

Every college needs to stand with Harvard & if I a was lawyer I would call Harvard & offer up my services to those students from other countries. You can't take them all down if they all stand together. This is ridiculous. The clown needs to be dealt with.

Use this spreadsheet as a resource to call/email/write members of Congress. Reach out to your own, as well as those in other states on a specific committee important to a topic you’re sharing. Use your voice and make some “good trouble.”

It is time to stand up and fight for whatever you value about being an American and living in a Democratic Republic! The protests must be larger and louder and maybe (to simplify) we should just be saying NO to this entire farce of an administration as loudly as possible. The U.S. Congress is NOT going to save this country. The Courts have no power to enforce their rulings. And the government is already ignoring the rulings it doesn’t want to comply with. So, regular people have to step forward all across the country in a much more meaningful and sustained way!

Sounds impressive, but that is pretty short on details! What do you see regular people doing, exactly? Counter protests scheduled for 6/14 to flip off the wanna be King. Hope you will join your local group!
