Donald Trump has disgraced the United States of America in countless ways since he first entered political life ten years ago.
But he had never disgraced the nation as badly as he did today.
He has brought shame on this country to an extent I had never thought possible. And he has only just begun.

Dear MAGA,
The inauguration will be a private affair. Just Trump & the broligarchs in the rotunda.
No seating for you.
No special events to acknowledge your support.
Not to worry. There will be emails later urging you to buy Trump coins, shoes, bibles, hats etc.
Keep that cash coming.
Be best.

genuinely remarkable polling result given how much the media has been promoting him and pushing the idea that he is popular and has a mandate to govern.

New Marist poll: Trump starts with a net-negative favorability rating, 44% favorable, 49% unfavorable. This destroys the idea Trump has a mandate. Wish Democratic leaders would see these polls and realize Trump is not popular. Stop talking common ground and start fighting!

Tips to keep democracy alive in 2025:
1. Be Brave. Avoid helpless/hopeless talk. Authoritarians want you to feel powerless because it makes their work easier. Courage, faith, and optimism are essential. Fascism feeds on cynicism and pessimism. Starve it.
