The Trump regime is way out of bounds and must be reined in. Voters, we know our mission: Insist on free and fair elections, then vote the complicit GOP out of office.

It’s incredibly disheartening to live in a country where half of the population looks at this and listens to this and thinks “this is the best person in history he is my kind.”

He’s 💯 correct, when Dems had power, they backed down from passing meaningful legislation that helps everyday Americans. I hope Dems learn from this current administration and take some lessons from it for when they hold power again.

Perhaps the most depressing part about the last couple of months is that every awful shitty thing that’s happening to this country is self-induced. People asked for this. None of it had to happen.

Trump is STILL - RIGHT NOW - tweeting about Tesla. He's spent more time protecting the richest man in the world's profits than he has protecting healthcare, education, jobs, or veterans in the last 6 weeks as president.

Term limits and age limits for everyone. If we had those most of Congress would be IT and social media literate. Security post term of service might not be a bad thing either.

Basic integrity isn’t the problem - politicians are just doing what anyone in their position would do. We need to change the incentives so that acting like a decent person isn’t heavily disincentivised.
