This is why it crucial to call your reps. Give them permission to do this. Tell them this position is not out of the main stream, it IS the main stream.
To quote one source:
“They’re terrified of being labeled anti–law enforcement. They want this to go away so they can talk about the cost of living more. Problem is, it’s not going away.”

Seriously, WHEREVER you are in the world, I recommend watching all of Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney’s powerful & already famous speech at Davos.
Can’t underestimate its leadership importance.
Key line: “Middle powers must work together, because if we’re not at the table, we’re on the menu.”

Perhaps one good thing the idiot is doing is forcing the world to stop pretending that "American Exceptionalism" is based on reality. The only time we've every accomplished anything great, we've done it together with help from people of all types and from all places.

Let’s be clear — if Trump doesn’t end up invading Greenland, or doesn’t end up doing any other of his seemingly unlimited batshit insane, illegal and corrupt crimes, it WON’T be “evidence that we were overreacting.” It will ONLY be BECAUSE WE DIDN’T UNDER-REACT.

America’s global reputation will never ever recover from this calamity. Even after Trump is gone the world now knows that we are capable of electing a sadistic lunatic like this not just once but twice, so could easily do it again. Why take the risk of engaging with us?
Trump doesn’t know the difference between Greenland and Iceland. And yet he is the most powerful man in the world because part of America wanted that and another part of America didn’t give enough of a damn to get to the polls to stop it.

it seems too obvious to even keep pointing it out but if you have ever had experience with an elder relative sliding into dementia you are familiar with the ways they repeat the same nonsensical anecdotes
Trump: "They didn't allow the water to come down from the Pacific Northwest. They routed the water into the Pacific Ocean. So we had no water there. No, he had -- I would say open up the water. Open it up to the governor, the mayor. They wouldn't do it. They wanted to protect a tiny little fish."

I said when Ras Baraka was arrested that it was a break glass moment of the Democratic party. It should have triggered a 100% McConnell version blockade. No votes for anything. End of story.

Imagine the news cycle if any president slurred his words and rambled off lie after lie after lie, the way this one does.

We have an entire class of Democratic "leadership" that has been told that it's dangerous and extreme to say this, and that does not understand that what Democrats want is for their leaders to articulate what they believe and why they believe it. That should not be as big an ask as it apparently is.
Mamdani: "I am in support of abolishing ICE. What we see is an entity that has no interest in fulfilling its stated reason to exist. We're seeing a government agency that is supposed to be enforcing some kind of immigration law, but instead what it's doing is terrorizing people."

Carney: "American hegemony in particular helped provide public goods, a stable financial system... this bargain no longer works. Let me be direct. We are in the midst of a rupture, not a transition... recently, great powers have begun using economic integration as a weapon. Tariffs as leverage ... "
