Most MAGA won't believe what's happening until it harms them in a concrete way. For some, that's already happened and we've seen those particular folks raising hell at town halls, which Republicans promptly stopped hosting to stop that bleed. But for those who are in their own media bubbles and not actively being harmed, no they don't see any problem. They're sticking it to the libs.
All of the infighting about dems is helping no one. If you have concrete requests for your dem representatives, communicate those to their offices. I'd personally like to see all of them speaking up way the hell more loudly, and holding their own town halls like Bernie, AOC, Eliz Warren, and Walz are doing. And we're going to need to vote Schumer out. But let's get vocal with the actual reps' offices instead of arguing and whining on online forums - that accomplishes NOTHING. And we need to accomplish a LOT if this democracy is going to hold up to the massive fascist threats we are facing. |
Of course Trump winning isn't entirely the Dem's fault but the Dems can only control their own backyard. Whining about Trump for 3 years and then accepting any Joe frickin Biden you are told to support will not end well. Been there done that. |
Every day Elizabeth Warren announces a new “fight,” and every day her approval ratings drop a little more. She’s aging in fast-forward now. Just looking increasingly frazzled and batty. We need younger reinforcements. |
White men feel so aggrieved by the millions of illegal aliens Biden brought in, and all the DEI/affirmative action quotas helping out folks of color (at the expense of whyte peepo), that they are hardly going to embrace Democrats even if Trump DOES crash the economy.. |
Do any Dems regret the trans push? |
Elizabeth Warren never had a chance of being taken seriously as a POTUS candidate. For far too long she has harped on political positions that are in conflict with the interests of the wealthy and powerful major political party donor class. No one that speaks out against mega donor interests is going to be a major party nominee anytime soon. It is possible to be old, frazzy, and batty and still become POTUS as long as you play nice with big money as Trump and Biden are living proof of. |
There was no trans push. That was MAGA fear mongering. Wanted respect and rights for LGBTQ, yes. Pushing trans, no. Fox News Dumbass. |
Democrats are eager to have Hamas in America and Venezuelan gang members.
This is what they go to court to protect. |
Democrats think they are smarter than the average person. That's why they hold minority views. |
There wasn’t one. Even if there had been, was that a serious threat to your quality of life? Cause the world is becoming a much more dangerous place very quickly as we abandon alliances and roles that prevented a global war for 80 years. |
Statistical, they are They can't help the dumbing dow of America |
Dp and I agree with you mostly. But as an example, in Montgomery county they allowed teachers to pick books with lgbtq themes to be taught to kids. For example, to be read aloud to the class at story time in kg or prek. The county previously allowed an opt out for parents to opt their child out. When they removed the opt out, parents protested and sued. The protests were on Fox News every night. This case is going to the Supreme Court and you can bet it will be on every fox news show for days when it does. This case was not about wanting rights for lgbtq rights because nobody was trying to get Moco to stop these lessons. The protests were about the removal of the opt out for parents who did not want their kids to be taught this and the lawsuit was brought about by parents of lower elementary students. Fox News will frame it as look, when dems are in control they try to indoctrinate your 5 year in the public schools. mcps should not have removed the opt out. https://marylandmatters.org/2025/01/18/supreme-court-agrees-to-hear-montgomery-parents-challenge-to-lgbtq-book-rules/#:~:text=Title%20challenged%20by%20the%20parent,puppy%20lost%20at%20a%20Pride |
Idiotic blanket statements like this are why MAGA are perceived as stupid. Stop it. |
There was no trans push. The explosion in the number of trans kids is an unexplained mystery. My theory is that the trans kids were always there, and they were finally made to feel safe with those elementary school programs encouraging them. It wasn’t a push, it was a welcoming. It was a reduction in stigma and an increase in status. |
Democrats deserve credit for letting trans kids be themselves at school, but not blame for pushing them. Letting and oushing are nit the same |
