Even if overturned, he makes it look like he's accomplishing things, so his casual conservative base sees him as a proactive president.

No one is apparently allowed to perform #RENT under Trump

@maddow.msnbc.com @maddowblog.msnbc.com WE TARIFFED OUR OWN (jointly operated with the U.K.) MILITARY BASE! 🤦🏻 But not ... RUSSIA OR BELARUS!

You misrepresent my position, which shows you either don't want to see other options, you are intent on promoting the actions that will lead to public opposition of Democrat / liberal goals, or perhaps both.

You're apparently angry, and I caution all of us to act strategicly instead of emotionally.

Elections start this week & elections start locally, with school boards and city aldermen and sheriff's & state elected officials. Violent acts only serve to embolden & validate the messaging of conservative media. Those deeply ingrained listeners think "Dems hate America." Don't give them "proof."

for a woman of color to take a commanding role. We need people Pete Butigieg to keep going to conservative media and forcefully making the case to audiences. We need Beto O'Rourke's and Jason Kanders to keep running for office. And yes we need to defend the legal branch of government.

stop asserting that without proof.

Who is in charge is constantly changing. There's momentum behind Bernie, but he's the liberal version of Trump. AOC will fail because America won't elect her to higher office. & If the country isn't ready for a white woman in high power, they certainly aren't up

"It’s going to happen whether we do anything or not" sounds defeatist.

Your right that the D's are bad at messaging. They need to fix that. At the same time, that's no reason to give R's golden messaging to use to hurt D's/liberals.

You're also right that I assume liberals are the arsonists. I'll

messaging to combat the propaganda R's are spewing. If the right magnifies liberal violent actions in their messaging, liberals lose the sympathetic moderates. The long game is lost, for sure, in acts of immediate impact.

You're right that this is not normal. Acts of violence in response to these attacks on democracy are not the wisest course of action. Not waiting on elections, either. Look at how many times Trump is losing in the courts, even with judges he appointed. D's need to couple that with improved

lose her seat in Congress, a seat she won by 24 points. Why give voters who lean R but are outraged by Trump & DOGE any reason to stay with the R's? They just need one, so don't give them any! Destroy Telsas & give insurance $ to Elon = On The Fence R's returning to MAGA

I'm not saying it has to be all kumbaya and let's have tea and conversations while they are assaulting democratic institutions. On the contrary, we should resist and fight but fight in strategic ways that build support. Americans are upset by droves. Trump pulled Stefanik in fear that R's would 1/2

distorted to demonize and reframe the stories. They will rally support against liberals by magnifying destruction caused in protest. Poor messaging gives conservatives the narratives they want the public to see. Then what? What strategic ground is there when liberals become the enemy of the public.

I'm well aware of the tactics of Hitler & his ability to make the Germany capitulate to his will. Yet, we are now in a different time with different tools. Conservative media has an extensive reach (far more than liberal media) so radical actions will be amplified and motivations will be 1/2
