    You realize your diatribe is all about your anecdotal thoughts and opinions? How many of his die hard asshats you see out on YouTube yelling about this particular issue? Turning them against him is working. You’re wrong.

      I don’t know, I don’t keep up with his die hard asshats on YouTube, you tell us.

      When Trump said explicitly that he doesn’t want supporters that are obsessed with the Epstein stuff, that was a classic cult purge. He’s very much okay with losing people over the doodle, because the remaining die hard cultists will defend him to the grave, literally.

      It isn’t “massively working”, he’s using it to consolidate power. Now before you downvote and run away, can you answer this comment:

      Do Republicans have the numbers when they filibuster every popular proposals and bills? Dems should do the same if they are serious and whether they are in opposition or not.

      All they do is performative bullshit, because like the oligarchs who bent the knee, they’re all on the same side. The genocide supporting Democrats are not holding back on using every available tool because they still believe in civility, they don’t try hard because people like you are happy to give them every excuse for their minimal effort performative bullshit. The levers are known, Republicans use them all the time, there is no excuse.

      Polite Nazis are still Nazis. Demand better from your government.

      Even if Trump is disgraced beyond redemption, how is this going to put the genie back into the bottle that is fascism? Will the Dems address what made fascism take root in the US?

        Are you familiar with the general concept of “order of operations”?

        You have to get rid of the fascist first, THEN you deal with the rest. You can’t do the latter first.

            Yup.

            If you had a normal number of brain cells going into the 2024 election you knew that Harris winning meant actual consequences for Trump and Harris losing meant zero consequences for Trump.

            I don’t think I’ve ever witnessed an event that so massively changed the outcome of the future, and I was in high school when 9/11 happened. I 100% believe the repercussions of this election are more severe and far reaching than 9/11.

          Will it? Dems didn’t even do anything in the past four years to prevent Trump taking power for the second time after his coup. Dems under Schumer have also allowed the big beautiful bill without significant push back. They are not acting like an actual opposition as they ought to be.

            They had a massive televised investigation that presented a shit ton of footage and witness testimony of the insurrection to make it clear to the American people what happened and the American people chose to believe it wasn’t a big deal and stripped Democrats of their power and handed it to the leader of the insurrection and his treasonous party.

            Wanna play the blame game? Blame your fellow dumbass Americans.
