The right needs to have their feet held to the fire everyday. They told us what they would do and the media and meekness led us into the arms of this disaster.

Let’s keep speaking the truth and don’t sanewash the insane.
Truly. Donald Trump said he's do this!

We should take him at his word with every other campaign promise from political retribution to mass deportations.

And when he's "joking" about a third term, he's not joking.
Imagine that your entire job is getting paid piles of money to understand how Washington works, and you're caught by surprise that Donald Trump is doing exactly what he repeatedly indicated he would do www.politico.com/news/2024/11...

Many people think that as you get older, you care less about politics. But it’s not true.

You start thinking a lot more about the kind of world you want to leave behind. You want it to be better than the one you were born into.

We all have a personal legacy in mind. Mine is to outlive Trumpism.

Past mass deportations “resulted in lower wages and employment for native-born workers, partly because some businesses couldn’t operate without immigrant labor … It had a particularly pronounced effect on care sectors: A shrunken supply of child care meant that fewer mothers could hold jobs.”
“It will quickly raise inflation, by reducing the capacity of U.S. firms to supply goods and services faster than it reduces demand,” he said.👇🏽
“That gargantuan shock will cost trillions of dollars in economic growth, eliminating hundreds of thousands of jobs held by U.S. natives,” said Michael Clemens, an economics professor at George Mason University who focuses on migration.

Reminder that Trump campaigned on letting RFK Jr do whatever he wants, including "health for women." We voted for this.
Trump on RFK Jr: "He's gonna do pretty much what he wants as far as I'm concerned. He wants health for women."
