I'm already seeing centrists and leftists sniping at each other but the blame for this is 100% on the Republicans. This is what they do with power and it is imperative that we work together to keep them as far from it as possible, forever.
100%- it is time for a truce between liberals and leftists. The Republican Party is the most powerful singular threat to the American People, the United States, and mankind. The Republican Party must be destroyed.

Melissa Tran came here on a Green Card at age 11.

Trump is deporting her, despite a judge saying she poses no threat.
Is she the "worst of the worst"? Do you feel safer yet?

America being a poorly made nuclear reactor that could explode if the wrong people are put in charge of it makes a lot of sense actually.
I think this thread accidentally captures one of the most important things about politics that everybody routinely ignores.

An FBI agent-in-training filed a lawsuit after he was handed a letter signed by the bureau’s director, Kash Patel, saying that he was being “summarily dismissed” because of “political signage.” The only thing that could be, he quickly realized, was a rainbow pride flag that had hung near his desk.
