How about teaching your DC some resilience and courage instead?

I can promise you that in most places in the country, NO ONE is thinking about or caring about the changes happening. They don't think about politics at all. And if they do, they hear about wasteful government bureaucracy being dismantled in Washington and think, "good," then go about their lives.

They don't care that malaria care is being cut in Uganda. They are happy that their state and local school district will have more control over what is taught. They voted for a guy who said he would install judges to overturn Roe v. Wade, and they got what they asked for.

You might not agree with these choices, but they aren't any less American than you are. It's called a correction. The pendulum swung too far in one direction, and now it is swinging back. I don't necessarily agree with all of it, but I also haven't wrapped myself in tinfoil awaiting Armageddon. That is my recommendation.


Not true at all. I am in a red state in the midwest, and people are outraged. You know he is president of the whole country, right? And that there are government employees all over the country?

Whatever you might think about Trump, he does not have a track record of entangling us in endless wars. Quite the contrary actually. That’s why Nikki Haley gave it her all against him.

The world is crazy, so anything is possible though.

Trump literally said that he wants to send US troops to Gaza. What are you talking about?


The UN places troops in places of conflict to keep the peace too. But I guess bad Orange Man suggests it and it’s the end of the world, huh? Just like the stock market crash that never happened this week because of those “CRAZY” tariffs…

You know the more you go ballistic about every single thing this guy says the less people take you seriously.

I obviously have no idea so help me out here!

Some of you have lost your damn minds.


Yep. Astounding that democrats are opposed to saving money, getting rid of waste and fraud, ensuring women compete in women’s sports, and working toward world peace.



I’m a woman and don’t care about women’s sports. This is literally not a problem. There are not enough trans players for it yo be an issue. My daughter has never encountered a trans athlete. Statistics are your friend, mouth breather.

We have OIGs in every agency who investigate waste, fraud, and abuse. They were fired because Musk and Trump will be the biggest fraud this country has ever seen!

You are a fraud and a smooth brained fool.


There were over $160 Billion in fraudulent payments made in 2024. That’s almost as much as we’ve spent on Ukraine during the entire war. How is this system not rotten from the core. $160 Billion!!!

Projecting power is not the same thing as engaging in war. Done in a measured way, the presence of troops could take the fun out of a lot of the barbarity that goes on there—October 7 and otherwise.


That’s the opposite of what Trump ran on. But who cares if he lies like a rug?

Planned Parenthood eugenics is a bad look, especially from someone who had kids of their own who are loved. Your racism is showing.

We have decided not to have children based on the last two weeks.

It really sucks and I am so sad.

I hate Trump and his moronic followers.

Exactly. When they can't play " whatabout", they come up with some other obtuse response.

Why are we responsible for your developing parenting skills? You are emblematic of the comment that people should take a mental cognitive test before being allowed to procreate.


Too bad your parents weren't held to your standards.


They were. That's why I do not come on mommy boards and ask how to raise my children.


No, you show up to troll and derail because you can't follow the thread.

Mercy on your children (if they're unlucky enough to have you as parent).


Do bots have kids? Does putin allow the trollfarm inhabitants to breed?
