We need to be consistent in our responses when Republicans or non-voters start complaining about actions taken by the Trump administration.
This is what you voted for.
You made this happen.
This is on you!
Every single time!
Because you know they’re going to try to blame Democrats for anything bad.

Now is probably a good time to remind folks that Elon Musk deleted this recent tweet of his about an 18 year old girl

Listen. There is NO DOUBT that trump did unthinkable things to little children. Boys and girls. There's even an accusation that these children were tortured and even killed.
WHEN THE HELL ARE YOU GOING TO DO YOUR JOB, CONGRESS? ARE ALL OF YOU SAYING THAT YOU THINK THIS IS OK? WHAT ARE YOU DOING? 🤬

This new whistleblower report is on par with the Zelensky call - not just because it’s violative of law - but because they also tried to keep people from seeing it. I’ve been doing this for a long time and this is absolutely explosive news. Impeachable and criminal. Swift accountability must follow.

Whistleblowers just shared a memo showing DHS instructing ICE to force their way into peoples' houses without a proper warrant. Why is this not on all the networks right now? This is a criminal conspiracy to violate rights under color of law.

A woman recording an ICE agent tells him "Shame on you."
The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?"
"Learned what?" she asks
Then he knocks her phone out of her hand

It's an old and obvious pattern. An unpopular president - failing on the economy and losing his grip on power at home - decides to launch a war for regime change abroad.
The American people don’t want to “run” a foreign country while our leaders fail to improve life in this one.

Public can no longer abide local Republican complicity
Allen County Republicans have betrayed their neighbors and themselves, valuing temporary power at the cost of their souls.

CBS paid the president of the United States millions in bribe money and now they censor news reports so it does not annoy him. I don’t know how much plainer we can put this.

“I was not a fan of Rob Reiner at all,” Trump said. “I thought he was very bad for our country.”
Now replace Rob Reiner with Charlie Kirk and watch the Right's heads explode.

Pentagon officials admit they have no idea who exactly is on those boats they're blowing up, and that that's OK.

Prime example of white privilege in plain sight.
Black kids get called adults to justify blame, while white adults get called “kids” to excuse their hate. They’re not boys and girls, they’re grown-ass men and women, and the receipts are in writing.
