Not me thinking this was about literal ships for way too long of a second. 🚢😅

So?

Mandates are for getting the opposition party on board with popular presidents, but the Ds are effectively powerless against the influence the Rs have at every level.

The sooner we realize this, the sooner we realize the kind of fight we’re in for, and the sooner we can properly prepare.

Fascism is here.

We face a demented dictator emboldened by the American oligarchy.

We are the Spartans. The first wave on the beaches of Normandy.

You guys are ignoring that Trump is staffing the top ranks of his administration with people from a truly diverse range of sex crimes.

I still find it perversely poetic that it was religion that ultimately divided the original phrasing of “one nation indivisible”.

That’s not to say that conservative voices aren’t welcome, but MAGA =/= conservative.

Trump supporters have been around for nearly a decade. We shared Facebook with them, we shared Twitter, and we hung on when they turned it into X.

That’s not to say we should give up on fighting for vulnerable communities.

It just doesn’t have to be the platform’s main theme.

This starts off as a solid take but ultimately misses the mark.

She’s right that those voters will never agree with the left’s identity politics.

She’s wrong that a populist economic policy won’t entice them to vote blue.

The overfocus on identity has been our downfall.
