I am talking to a lot of Democrats who want Trump to succeed.

These three things have still not been fixed and we deal with the safety issues and the threats to democracy they create.

Even when terrible things happen due to Republican administrations and their hatred of government, people don't connect the dots.

I get that it feels good to think you know better and that eventually people will see what a hellscape they've created, but they won't. Things will just be worse and someone in the future will blame Dems for things Republicans did. So, fight like hell for the scraps of civility we have left, friends. No one is going to fix it all and hand it to us on a silver platter.

Amen. Until people start realizing that most of what ails society today is a direct result of Reagan/Bush policies, we will never get anywhere. I still cannot fathom how even some Dems still think old Ronnie was a great President

My new favorite activity is to wake up, find some the latest terrible thing Republicans are planning to do once in office and post it on FB for only my Maga/Republican relatives to see.

It's actually much more fun than spending the first few minutes of each day reporting 30 posts for misinformation like I used to do.

This morning, I posted the article on how 29 Republicans want to push the retirement age to tackle the deficit.

Luigi Mangione is American citizen and he killed Sullivan
in cold blood. The two supposed assassination attempts on Trump were Americans citizens. I bet there are more American thieves, murderers and drug addicts than illegal immigrants who simply want a better life and whose work ethic is a hell of a lot better than US citizens.

When you are paying $5.00 for one apple then your teeny tiny little mind might understand that illegal immigrants kept the food supply going.

DP. Maybe it’s not a good thing that we’ve been depending on exploitation of migrants to keep food prices low. Maybe it would be good if we shifted to a where we spend more on food and less on Made In China and pay living wages to agriculture workers.

Wait -- what?? We've been told that people voted for Trump because the price of eggs was too high. Now you're saying it's not high enough?

I am talking about regular voters but they want him to succeed and implement all his promises.
I talked with Doctors who want him to implement “kind of a plan” for health care.
Environmentalist who want Elon to succeed with wiping out regulations so voters can learn a lesson.

You are so full of $hit!

Dems have gotten higher minimum wages, stronger OSHA requirements for workplace safety, guarantees in worker rights, the ACA, food and drug safety, cleaner air and water, more job growth (by a factor of 96 to 4) etc.

What have republicans done for the working class? Serious question.

They harnessed their anger.

The DNC has been ignoring the working class for years, but keeps crying about democracy. I’m expected to vote for bad and/or geriatric candidates that can’t do the job to “stop Trump.” They need to step it up if they want me to vote. I’m about done, despite never missing an election in 30 years.

The retirement age needs to go up. People are living longer. We can't keep prioritizing the needs of only the old people.

Professional environmentalists haven't had a good idea in 40 years. They're wackos without a cause.

You all keep saying the dems have been ignoring the working class and people like me keep showing the different legsilation and action items that dems have passed that benefit the working class. What are the GOP working class laws that have passed?

People voted Trump because they are fed up with our society, and they are desperate for change. If Trump is as bad as we think he is, society only gets worse.

What do these successful democrats think happens when society gets worse? There will be more shootings of successful people in the streets.

So your point is that, when Trump wins and delivers what he promised because MAGA republicans voted for him and his promises, it's the democrats fault?

Typical.

Also, there are not "shootings of successful people in the streets". There was one shooting of an unapologetic 1%-er who made his fortune on the backs and deaths of America's most vulnerable sick and dying. I am wealthy and successful by many standards yet I have zero concerns that someone will target me for any of those things. If anyone will need to start watching their backs it will be the billionaires supporting Trump. MAGA gonna be bigly mad when they finally start connecting the dots...

Some want Obama care repealed, all illegal immigrants deported and heavy crackdown on crime including shoplifting,
and on and on.
Most are well off business people and professionals and will benefit from the tax cuts and becoming Trump police supporters after they voted for KH and are so disappointed after she lost.

It is copium.

They rock themselves to sleep at night imagining all the horrible things that will happen to the folks that supported trump.
This is basically wishing ill on the people that beat you because you are sore about losing.
They ache to say "I told you so"

Can’t wait to see it. I am sure you will be one of the begging for help once Trump does his stuff. I look forward to laughing at you as I call the police to deport you.

But, you voted for a bad, geriatric candidate.
