@dmk1207 Abortion care, transgender teens who are likelier to die by suicide without gender-affirming health care)? That denies the science of climate change at this critical juncture in human history, etc?
@dmk1207 Respectfully, as you know I respect you: how do you hope someone is “successful” at enacting an agenda that not only doesn’t align with your values but directly threatens the liberties of vulnerable communities and genuinely puts lives at risk (eg, women who will die without
So when Trump fires all non-partisan career professionals in government, replaces them with radical loyalists within every nook and cranny of the US government, and adds radical judges everywhere.

Do you beg this country for forgiveness for choosing fascism because you were conned into believing your eggs are too expensive because of Joe Biden?
You just put Steve Bannon in charge of American policy.
You just put Michael Flynn in charge of our military.
You just put Alex Jones in charge of media and propaganda.
You just put Stephen Miller in charge of immigration policy.
You just put batshit crazy RFK Jr. in charge of health policy.
You just killed free public education and privatized schools, which you will have to pay for.
You just sealed the deal on a national abortion ban, because you’re demented if you think it’s not coming.
You just radicalized the Supreme Court for a generation.
You just made women less safe and less free.
You just made this country an oligarchy with the billionaires quite literally in charge now.
You just put in office the one person that believes a president is a king, with the fucking Supreme Court ruling to prove it in his back pocket!
You just ushered in Fascism.
Because your cereal costs more.
Congratulations.
