So true! He/MAGA cannot win elections legitimately, so they’re using every implement in their box of seditious tricks to impose minority rule on an unwilling (and patriotic) American majority.

Apparently, of all eligible voters in 2024, about 32% voted for Trump, 31% voted for Harris, and most of the rest didn’t vote. Hispanic and under 30 voters have turned on him in large numbers. His 32% is even less.

The “base” screams, its propaganda outlets overwhelm social media, billionaires and institutions kiss his ring, and legacy media gives more attention to Trump and his “base” than to the consequences of what his regime is doing.

We the people are ahead of the “elites”. We will not go down with MAGA’s leaky ship!

I wasn’t done. Accidentally hit post. “It’s democrats fault people are losing SNAP because they won’t open the government. They want to feed the immigrants.”Blame, blame, blame. My daughter and grandkids watched ICE take down someone in front of a Mexican grocery store while his little daughter “yelled “Don’t take my daddy.”My 14 year old granddaughter cried. We have tried to prepare them. All I hear from Republican friends is “Do your research.” Illegal immigrants and Biden are to blame. If I hear do your research I might explode. I have eyes and ears. I don’t need to read right wing propaganda.

Thank you for allowing me to vent. Sorry for any grammar and punctuation errors. I’m definitely not a writer like you.

Why can’t MAGA see they are part of the cult of Trump?

He’s the “greatest president ever.”, the democrats are evil and people are going to starve according to Levitt

Maga is the Fox News audience and they have never been known for their intelligence. They are more like oxen with rings drilled through their noses being led by the self-loathing news readers. If they aren't oxen, they are lemmings running alongside asking, Where's the cliff? I do like the image of the empty piazza though. After the speech, Karoline Leavitt can tell us that thousands, nay hundreds of thousands, more than anyone can remember, filled the piazza. But look at the tape, show KKKaroline the evidence: up on the platform, there is Trump talking about tariffs, and there's the piazza, with a few trumpettes, their bottle blond hair shining in the sun, and the rest, an huge empty expanse with an empty brown paper bag blowing among the dead leaves, swirling in a circle and flying away.

The tension is palpable.

The rude awakening is straight up (thank you, Mary) “The Diagnosis”.. right fresh for the medical facility- Mary nailed it. You know it , sister!

This is the week that will tell all…it’s being written and wears like gold.

Stay calm .

Stay committed.
