Trump and Vance have already lost. They thought Americans would embrace their policy of sending masked ICE agents to terrorize communities across the US.
Exactly the opposite happened.
Americans are standing up and saying NO. ICE is now at 63% disapproval and only 36% approval.

Trump is so fragile that after “clipping a table” he got a bruise on his hand that looks like flesh rotting, but within mere days of getting hit by a bullet his ear was completely healed?

Retiring Walmart CEO Doug McMillon made $27.5M last year, over 930 times the median Walmart worker's salary of just $29,469.
Walmart's wages are so low that its workers are among the most likely to rely on SNAP and Medicaid to get by.

I'm not one for false optimism. But what I witnessed today in Minneapolis was tremendous, both in scale and exuberance. It was a stunning answer to the federal assault on Minnesota, a show of solidarity that gives us something to hold on to during times that are unforgiving.
“Everybody Showed Up”: Stunning Crowds at Minnesota Day of Strike and Shutdown Against ICE
Extreme cold didn't stop the shutdown on Friday as some 100 faith leaders were arrested, residents stayed home from work, and an estimated 50,000 or more marched through downtown Minneapolis.

It's never that they are wrong. It's that protestors are paid, or the judge is married to someone with an opposing viewpoint, or the polls are fixed.
For a party that wants everyone to "man up" and "be alphas," they are quite a group of little whiny bitch babies.

Harmeet Dhillon on Don Lemon: "We made a presentation to the magistrate judge. And the judge, who is married to someone who works for AG Ellison, who has had a lot to say about ICE, declined to give us all we were asking for. That's just part of the process... there are other ways to pursue charges"
