The Republican who introduced the "Trump Derangement" bill has been arrested for solicitation, Segregated facilities are no longer prohibited within federal contractors, and Trump loses big in court.
Avoid divisiveness. You’re playing into their hands when you do that. I look like that and am doing everything in my power to fight back. I’m keeping my wallet shut, sending postcards to voters in Wisconsin, encouraging unity on social media platforms and attending rallies. Please, please, please let’s not lose sight of the real target. Trumpers are starting to switch sides. We MUST maintain unity. I appreciate your anger, but we must not unravel in this moment.
You can do that. However, I am TIRED. I have been fighting my whole life. The fact that a whole giant portion of the country voted against ethics and morality makes me lack trust. I know that eventually, I will likely have to give in and fight with them but right now? I need to see something from those that voted that way or didn't bother voting at all before I jump in the fray. It's not like we didn't warn them. They didn't care. They are only beginning to care now is because it affects them directly.
I hear you. I do. I’m a woman. I’m disabled. I’m on Social Security. But here’s the thing, my friend: The less we fight now, the more we will have to fight later. Let’s not give him an inch.
(And yeah, on top of that, I have four kids, an aging mom and a husband in hospice in my orbit. So TIRED, I know. We all need to take care of ourselves best we can. For sure. But always, always RISE.)
Agreed. I’ve I volunteered for campaigns for years, local and national. I brought facts, I brought statistics, I tried to address concerns. I stayed humble.. “no dems are not perfect but I believe Trump…..and here’s why.” I’m exhausted and frustrated and maybe feeling a touch self righteous so I’m holding them accountable. I don’t believe they are sincere, they have to prove it.
No way you’re telling me to avoid divisiveness when left and right prominent Trump supporters are being found out as pedophiles. Look, I get the point you are trying to make. It just doesn’t resonate with me.
I am tired of debating. I’m tired of listening to the same spiel about how democrats and LGBTQ people are blue haired basement dwelling pedos. I’m tired of listening to Trump supporters online call for concentration camps for LGBTQ people. These people need to be scared back into the holes they came from. We sat back for far too long and respected their opinions even though they were dehumanizing us over the last 10 years. They all have worked so hard for this.
They encourage the dismantling of our democratic institutions. They BELIEVE Musk while he lies about saving billions of dollars in already completed contracts from the 70s. These people are beyond saving and no one, and I mean no one, can help these people.
If you think these people deserve any ounce of “unity” then let them unite with you. My dinner table is full.
There was nothing mean about what I said. Trump supporters get nothing from me and never will. The saying is, “the enemy of my enemy is my friend” not “the supporters of my enemy are my friends”. The people who voted for this overwhelmingly wanted this. They get zero sympathy from me. This is a culture war. They will not stop until people who believe differently are erased.
You are still not hearing me. You are giving them your power when you give them your attention. Focus only on the power mongers who are orchestrating this takeover, not on those they have scared into following them. The Pedagogy of the Oppressed by Paolo Freire was written more than half a century ago but speaks eloquently about this political dynamic - if you’re interested.
You’re misunderstanding. I’m not saying, don’t fight back. I’m saying be clear who the enemy is. Don’t waste your energy on the poor deluded fool standing
Next to you. Push back on the Pied Piper who’s leading them. Otherwise you are wasting your energy - which is exactly what the Trump administration is counting on.
This is what this admin wants. Wants us all to hate and loath each other, because divided we fall. He is counting on us staying divided. It is a fine line, wanting to distance yourself from Ma ga and also wanting to be a united country. We keep playing into it, he gets his personal satisfaction from controlling us. Making us hate the GOP is controlling us.
No one is suggesting unity without justice. The suggestion is that to obtain justice, the working class must unite against the highest echelons of the upper class - the Trumps, the Musks, the Besos, the Zuckerbergs, who are driving the oppression of the under classes. That is what is meant by suggesting we avoid divisiveness. The first rule of successful war mongers is to divide and conquer. We must not let them encourage us to fight among ourselves while they rob us blind. Hope that clarifies the discussion further.
How many times do I have to say it? I had to block you last night to stop you from continuously responding after I already said I didn’t want to talk to you.
Stop responding to me. I don’t want to talk to Trump supporter apologists. You insinuating I was rude by constantly saying “kindness sir” when I was never rude proves to me you are just here to peddle this BS about uniting with Trump supporters. Miss me with that, and don’t talk to me. I won’t be joining your cause
Aaron made a good point about this. Of course, almost every person of any hue would avoid an establishment that had Whites Only or Colored Only policies. Although I don't think the Civil Rights Act of 1964 has really been officially changed, it is symbolic for Potus to do this. He made this particular declaration about federal contracts. He is keeping us separated as a country already, I think he would love to make us ALL start hating other ethnicities. Are we going to fall for his tactics?
Also, still wondering how tds is supposed to be a jab at Dems?? Trumpers are super deranged to still follow that clown. Seems it is being used incorrectly but whatevs. At least I am on the right side of history… label it whatever TF ya want.
Here is my fear, perhaps far-fetched. That anyone who dissents against Trump would be labeled with this “mental illness.” That individual would be placed on a mandatory psych hold, only at a facility that no one knows where it is…never to be seen again.
Here is an invitation for all of us to change the language you are using when you read a comment like the one above--"these things are absolutely infuriating". If they are terrifying, we shrink down and hide. If they are infuriating, they inspire us to stand up and resist. Act on the anger to avoid being a victim of the fear.
Does anyone else wonder if the trump admins is doing things like these segregation BS to try and enact a response and violence to be able to declare martial law?
very possible. I wouldn't put it past them to be burning Tesla's to stir up the masses. Used to happen in race riots so that the clamp down could be harder and more punitive.
Yall notice a common denominator with Trump supporters? Cause I do 👧 👦
Absolutely sickening.
Yeah, they should be on a list or two 😐

Unity without justice is not possible. Democrats failed trying to unite with trumpers. Resistance is the only way from now on.

💯 agree. Send love and wisdom. Anger only fuels the fires of evil. May light lead us.

You've been very clear throughout this conversation. Teach!
They are low IQ
It is beyond ironic that those who are the threat to women & children are in fact white men who are Cheeto puff supporters & NOT immigrants 🤣
This. Let’s fix the crime perpetrated by white men before we go after crimes perpetrated by undocumented migrants.
We’re ALL immigrants. That’s the absurdity of this whole catastrophe.
And not trans women.
Every accusation is a confession.
Seriously fuck ICE.
I’m not violent but if I EVER see a “whites only” sign, I’ll put a brick through the window. I’m not rising above
Same !

Just do your best to clog the toilets in the “whites only” section. That’ll put us all in the same room doing our business very fast.
OF COURSE. Because…. Republican.

I agree. Things that used to seem utterly outrageously outlandishly impossible, are now totally on the table.
That is absolutely terrifying......🥺

Roberts created the monster
We call 'TDS' Trump DENIAL Syndrome.
I say: "Trump filled the Swamp. Again."
The TDS says: "No, he's really draining the Swamp. He's playing 5D chess".
Heartbreaking. :(
Sadly, along with terminal Brain Rot, Trump Denial Syndrome is one of the devastating side effects of White Hat Hopium addiction.
Well well look at this another Trump supporter get arrested... those are some sick dudes....
Laughed once I found out Eichorn got arrested. 😂
Family values, huh?
Trump Derangement Syndrome AKA MAGA. Equals all the best people. You cannot make this shit up!!
That immunity decision really aged well
Aaron - You are very, very brave. Thank you for your tireless efforts to bring us the news. It is keeping me focused and informed. Much gratitude.
Hey! Maybe he knows my ex! He got arrested for solicitation of a minor with intent to meet (for sex). Gross!!! Ship them all off to Guantanamo!!!!!
