I've mentioned before, but I think about this a lot.
"There must be another room, somewhere down the hall, where the real meeting is happening, where the real experts are, making the real decisions ... because it can’t just be us. It can’t just be this." -- Jake Sullivan, 2013
Donald Trump during meeting with House Republicans:
“I suspect I won’t be running again unless you say, ‘He’s so good we’ve got to figure something else out.’”
Kevin McCarthy on Matt Gaetz: “I'll give you the truth why I'm not speaker. It's because one person, a member of Congress, wanted me to stop an ethics complaint because he slept with a 17-year-old…”
"But Trump can't do that because it's against the law"
Stop.
I get it. That is how we are used to thinking but that isn't going to serve you well going forward.
Instead ask "Who or what is going to stop him from doing that?"
even taking 5 min to read any artical about Hitlers rise to power will show you exactly what trump is wanting to do here.
"oh but it won't happen to US! we are so much better than that 😌" no we're not.
No, you can’t just deport people without legal due process.
No, you can’t just fire federal employees without legal due process.
No, you can’t just impose across the board tariffs without Congress.
If Trump tries, he’ll get SUED — slowing or stopping him entirely.
Biden: This is the last time I will stand here at Arlington as commander in chief. It's been the greatest honor of my life, to lead you, to serve you, to care for you, to defend you, just as you defended us generation after generation after generation.
This is what we're dealing with, which is a fascist, far-right disinformation machine — and it's chilling. Since it takes a modicum of intelligence to understand what is truly happening, America is in deep trouble. 😳👇
