And anyone he votes for will be the same.
It’s not the politicians as much as it’s the electorate.

The moment someone is elected they are “Establishment”.
Don’t forget, so called “Establishment Democrats” have voted for bills that have raised THEIR taxes.
January 18, 2026 at 9:55 PM
When people say “Democrats”, they mean 100% of Democrats?5%?
January 18, 2026 at 9:52 PM
I don’t know of any Democrat, who’s saying that though.
I do know of rank and file Dems who span the spectrum of “Abolish ICE” to “I don’t care about ICE.”

And yet how many of them voted for Trump?
I wish we could pull the people who voted for Biden and then voted for Trump or were even too young to have voted for Biden at the time and vote voted for Trump and really pick their brains.

Isn’t it illegal for military troops to be used against Americans?
January 18, 2026 at 1:21 PM
I agree and yet I am really torn between what are we supposed to do the same thing we did in Iraq?

It would take people starting to pay attention, and actually care.

That means they would realize that just because it doesn’t seem to affect them, right now …it is important.

Someone once said,’ when you’re losing your democracy, you probably won’t notice it by the time you do it will be too late’

That would be the point that it’s too late

I truly hate to tell you how much I hate to say this, but I think the first big question is … how many people actually know what’s happening and how many people care?
I fear this is as true today as it was in 1920:

How’s he ever gonna stop the states from just carrying on their elections as usual?
January 17, 2026 at 12:13 AM
I bet that anyone in DOJ, who knew what federalism is has already resigned.
January 17, 2026 at 12:11 AM
He, who doesn’t care?
January 16, 2026 at 7:32 PM
This is the problem I have when they complain about Democrats not being “strong” enough.
The people who really know what’s going on and really care are not the same people as those who don’t like Trump, but don’t really care about anything other than prices.
January 16, 2026 at 6:37 PM
He might be right.
I know too many Democrats who really don’t care about ICE.
And I’m very sincere when I say, I don’t know what the people in the margins whose votes you need to care about.
January 16, 2026 at 6:04 PM
You’re probably right.

Anybody think that one of their motives might be to scare brown citizens away from the polls in November?
January 16, 2026 at 3:23 PM
What does that mean??
January 16, 2026 at 3:08 PM
What does that even mean???
It seems like it’s a little delivered conservativism …. They are the ones who can’t stand up to this mentally ill buffoon in the White House.
January 16, 2026 at 12:57 PM
I’m sorry, but it’s time for the strait jacket.
January 16, 2026 at 12:55 PM
We have a photo
January 16, 2026 at 12:35 PM
Right now, the right is doing that by scaring them that they won’t be able to use the electricity they want or drive as much as they want, etc.
Basically telling them they’ll have to give things up
January 13, 2026 at 5:48 PM
I agree and I think another reason is that some people just simply don’t care and others are just not paying any attention at all and wouldn’t believe that what you’re telling them could happen in the United States of America.

And should’ve been convicted for the crime of stealing the documents.
If they had reality TV shows in the 90s, I think John Gotti could’ve been elected president .
At least he stood trial .

What do we do with people who don’t believe in climate change and think it’s a hoax?
