A couple of weeks ago, I warned you that once the midterms were over, I was going to unleash hell.
I wasn't joking. And my pinned post this morning was just the beginning.
Let me make something crystal clear.
I DID NOT WANT DEMOCRATS TO WIN.
But deep down, I knew they would.
You know why?
Because while some of you were living in an X echo chamber, I was paying attention to REAL LIFE.
I listened to my neighbors.
I listened to my coworkers.
I listened to the customers who walk into my bank every single day.
I talked to people about their bills, their savings, their mortgages, and how much harder it's become just to survive.
I watched people walk through those doors carrying jars of loose change, hoping to turn them into enough cash to get by.
THAT is the America I was paying attention to.
Not the fantasyland you've been fed on this platform for the last 11 months.
Not the massive accounts telling you Trump has historic support.
Not the influencers screaming that we're winning, winning, winning while ordinary Americans are struggling to keep their heads above water.
And here's the part that's really going to piss some of you off.
You weren't looking for the truth. You were looking for reassurance.
Every day I hear people on this platform say, "I'm here for the truth!"
No. You're here for YOUR truth.
You're here to have someone with 500,000 followers tell you exactly what you want to hear.
To convince you that everything is fine.
To make that uncomfortable feeling in your stomach go away.
Because somewhere deep down, you knew something wasn't right.
You just didn't want to admit it.
And when people like me tried to warn you?
You attacked us.
You called us Democrats. You called us traitors. You accused us of turning against Trump.
All because we refused to pretend everything was wonderful.
Well, here we are.
And now I see people scrambling for excuses.
Cheating. Illegal voters. Rigged elections.

Kiss my ass.
Kiss my ass.
Kiss my ass.
Anything to avoid confronting the possibility that Republicans lost because they FAILED.
The GOP failed.
Congressional Republicans failed.
The Senate failed.
And yes, the man sitting in the White House failed.
They failed the very Americans who trusted them to make their lives better.
I'm furious because I wanted Republicans to GIVE AMERICANS A REASON TO VOTE FOR THEM.
Listen...
You can love your country, support a president, vote Republican your entire life, and STILL hold your own side accountable.
That's not betrayal.
That's having a backbone.
And if you spent the last year attacking people who tried to warn you, maybe it's time to stop listening to the accounts telling you what you want to hear.
Because the people carrying jars of change into my bank don't give a damn how many likes your favorite MAGA influencer gets.
They want to know when their lives are going to get better.
And until Republicans can answer that question, they have absolutely no business acting surprised when they lose.
Both parties have had full control of the government multiple times in 30 years.
Healthcare is still broken.
Housing is still unaffordable.
Wages are still stagnant.
At some point, the argument that one side is the solution stops being believable.
Let me tell you what I’m pissed about. Really really angry about. I CANT AFFORD ANYTHING. Health insurance is now more than my mortgage. My standard of living is gone. You’re all whining about an election. I’m facing another $1000 a year on car insurance with no accidents. The Dems WRECKED US during covid. Then you decided to kick us in the head. I pay over SIX DOLLARS for gas. To you that’s a number. To me that means something else has to get cut out of my life. My life just got smaller bc of you. Will the Dems make it worse? YES.
Every single one of you has made my life worse. We are now going without life insurance. That luxury is gone.
You think I care about Israel? Dude. I can’t go to Jack in Box any more. That’s a luxury item now and all your followers will scream at me I should just hush up and eat rice and beans for the rest of my life.
I don’t know what you’re all gonna do when the other demographics start rioting and looting too. AI is taking the jobs. We have no hope. No help. And now you’ve turned us all over to the democrats. We will go straight to breadlines. My purple state went all blue. And now I’ll have ten dollar gas.
You ADDED to the debt!!! ADDED to it! I don’t care why you lost. I want to know why you kicked ordinary Americans in the teeth. Don’t give me crap about you lowered taxes for special groups. Not for me. Mine were higher. I now have to stay at home. That’s my option. It’s over $100 to fill the tank. So I have to sit at home. My cat needed a checkup. I had to CROWDFUND IT.
I’m being told by compassionate right wingers now that I shouldn’t have a cat!!! A cat is too much of a luxury????
Where the heII are the apologies for what you’ve done to us?!!!!! Whining about votes. Give me a break. Let’s replace all of YOUR jobs with AI. Both sides. ALL of you. Go. Yes. The Dems will be worse and you did that to us too. You made me crowdfund to take my cat to the vet. 😢😢😢😢😢.
You don’t know how terrible life is now for us. You don’t know. And if one more person tells me I could have saved up to go to the vet if I had forgone the luxury item of tiny tacos I’m blocking you.
Many of us were conservative republicans and strict constitutionalists. We are sick and tired of our state and country being handed over to Israel.
We don’t want our water and cybersecurity controlled in Tel Aviv. We don’t want pension money buying their junk bonds. We don’t want towns like San Marcos forced by Abbott to hand over $4.4 million to Israel. We don’t want antisemitism speech laws. We don’t want to sign an oath to Israel to accept a contract in Texas. We don’t want to send our sons and daughters to die for Israel in more Middle East wars.
We are sick and tired of hearing about Israel every fucking day by our elected representatives when Texans are here suffering.
In 2024 people voted for America First, releasing the Epstein Files, arresting fraudsters (Trump for a fee will pardon them instead), closed borders (instead it was replaced by H1B visas for thousands of Indians taking away jobs from our own young Texans graduating from Texas universities), ending corruption (we got war in Iran on-again/off-again so the Epstein class could line their pockets while manipulating the markets so we pay $6 for diesel and almost $4 for regular which was $1.95 on Feb 27th).
We are done with MAGA (I used to identify as ultra MAGA and can’t wait for it to implode into dust).
We are tired of TPUSgay and their money making Jewish grift which Charlie would not have approved of.
We are tired of the lies our government tells us and the truths it leaves out…. USS Liberty and the Holomodor, telling us all Muslims are the same and dangerous when in reality it’s the radical sect of Wahhabism from Saudi Arabia that Mossad and the CIA created so you will hate and fear them. They don’t teach about Sunni and Shia Muslims who believe in our same God, who love Jesus and the Mother Mary and that the tiny hate tribe who runs our country believes Jesus is burning in human excrement and Mother Mary was a whore.
Most importantly we are sick and tired of our money being used to genocide Christian and Muslim children in Gaza and bombing school girls in Iran. (The soldiers at Ft Hood agree with me. I talk to them all the time and they tell me they didn’t sign up for that).
We don’t want Netanyahu to be our president and we don’t want our military merged with Israel so they can hide billions of dollars sent to Israel in the Pentagon budget.
Stop making excuses as to why the Republicans lost. Stop fear mongering about Muslims and Sharia. Instead educate yourself about Noahide Laws and what the Jewish supremists really think about you.
WTFU
We are sick and tired of all of it. The republicans had all the power but gave it to Israel instead.
This is why the Republicans took a walloping in the mid-terms. This is how the democrats turned Texas blue.
Now the democrats have all the power. Let’s see if the continue to sellout Texans and America to Israel and continue to sell off America to the multi-national corporations.
If they do, we have 2 years to organize a third party and we will give them a walloping too.
The GOP lost because they refused to read the room.
Dems, listen to your voters!
We want WARRIORS!
We want JUSTICE!
We do NOT want appeasers.
NO to @RepJeffries
NO to @SenSchumer
NO to @SpeakerPelosi backing the old guard.
Bring out the GLADIATORS!!
Prepare to FIGHT!!
COL. WILKERSON WARNS: NDAA SECTION 219 HANDS U.S. MILITARY POWER TO ISRAEL
The House has passed the NDAA with Section 219 intact, sending it to the Senate before a potential trip to Trump’s desk. The provision merges U.S. and Israeli military and intelligence cooperation, an arrangement unlike any America has with another country.
Col. Lawrence Wilkerson argues this goes far beyond coordinating with an ally. He warns that it would effectively legalize Israel’s theft of U.S. military power, tying American capabilities to Benjamin Netanyahu’s government, the IDF, and Mossad.
This is not a normal alliance. It is the surrender of U.S. military independence to Israel.
@WhiteHouse English please. Me no comprende “We play for the United States of America”. America and American citizens are not a game to be played you tone-deaf morons.
Midterms was a referendum against Israel.
Israel’s bought shill, Hakeem Jeffries CANNOT become Speaker of the House!
This is Hakeem Jeffries in 2013, kissing the wall during his 2nd trip to Israel. For 13 years, he has:
- Taken Israel lobby money
- Pledged allegiance to Israel
- Made 7 pilgrimages to Israel
Watch his own words & you’ll understand why he’s called AIPAC Shakur.
You elect him as your Speaker and you will be insta-discredited on week 1 and you can kiss 2028 goodbye. You people don’t seem to read the room. You fucked around in 2024, you lost. GOP fucked around in 2026, they fucking lost. Your tribal base cannot save you. You need to EARN support from the MAJORITY who are independents.
SO EARN IT!
Americans should rejoice that Trump and the Republicans were defeated, but we should be clear-eyed about the deeper reality: Trump has always been nothing more than a symptom of a decrepit capitalist system that values profits more than people.
Democrats winning the House and Senate, does not change the capitalist and imperialist system that we live under. It simply gives the system a more palatable face for the liberal class, which means there will be less resistance to the horrors of capitalism and imperialism.
The wars overseas will rage on. The genocides in Gaza, Lebanon, and Sudan will not stop. The mass exploitation of workers and the cost of living crisis will continue unabated all while the rich keep getting richer.
All those atrocities will continue under the Democrats because they serve the exact same capitalist and imperialist system as Republicans. This is the insanity of the duopoly that voters can’t seem to figure out.
With that said, I will always believe a better world is possible. I am just clear-eyed in that this better world cannot be born from the system that created the decaying world we inhabit now.
It can only be born from the people rising up together and fighting for a new system where workers own the means of production and resources are used for the benefit of all!
@HouseDemocrats Stop sending money to Israe and letting them interfere in our government. Prosecute all the traitors who got us here. Show the Epstein survivors you have a moral compass. Remember you work for the American people and you will have hell to pay if you screw this up.
I have been holding my tongue about something that happened during the Ohio gubernatorial race. I refused to speak while the election was underway because I did not want my words mistaken for an attempt to influence anyone’s vote.
But now that the election is over, I have something to say.
For nearly twenty years, my ministry has taken me among the homeless, the abused, the exploited, and the forgotten. I have sat with victims of sexual violence and witnessed the lifelong wounds of childhood trauma.
What Vivek Ramaswamy’s campaign did to Amy Acton was among the most morally repulsive things I have witnessed in American politics.
They took a woman whose stepfather was indicted for raping her when she was twelve years old and featured her mother, from whom she had been estranged for nearly fifty years, in a political advertisement attacking her credibility.
The advertisement challenged Acton’s account of her childhood without mentioning the sexual abuse allegations or the circumstances of that estrangement. When people expressed their horror, the campaign defended it.
Imagine examining another person’s childhood suffering and fractured family relationships, then deciding those wounds might help win an election.
Anyone who has worked with survivors of childhood sexual abuse understands the painful realities of denial, betrayal, shame, and estrangement. A child growing into a successful adult does not erase what happened. Nor does a parent’s denial make that suffering disappear.
I find it equally disturbing that an elderly mother, whom Acton herself described as unwell, was brought into this spectacle. Whatever her own struggles or responsibility for the past, exploiting that fractured relationship was grotesque.
To everyone who defended this, consider the message you sent to survivors. To the young woman whose family refuses to believe her. To the man who has carried the shame of childhood abuse for forty years. To the frightened child who has yet to tell anyone.
What did you teach them about the value of their suffering?
I am a priest. I believe in repentance, forgiveness, and redemption. But none of those things requires me to pretend that deliberate cruelty is anything less than a grave moral failure.
Your political allegiance does not absolve you of moral responsibility. You do not get to set aside your conscience during an election and retrieve it afterward.
If your loyalty requires you to defend the exploitation of a childhood sexual abuse survivor, your loyalty has become an idol. And if your conscience cannot recognize the wrong here, examine what political tribalism has done to it.
This is not about Republicans or Democrats. We have a choice as a people: continue excusing cruelty from our preferred political camp, or summon the courage to condemn it wherever it appears.
Amy Acton deserved better. Every survivor who watched this unfold deserved better.
And God help us if we have reached the point where winning an election matters more than protecting the dignity of a wounded human being.
