Trump thrives on bluster, but he crumbles when met with real resistance. Democrats and Republicans, take a lesson from Canada and Mexico—stand up, fight back, and watch him fold

Trump has twice imposed tariffs on our closest neighbors and allies, only to back down each time when met with resistance. This raises questions about the effectiveness of his approach—strong rhetoric followed by retreat may weaken the U.S.’s negotiating position in the long run.

We cannot stand by while this administration undermines our country and global democracy. The moment for action is now. Stand together. Rise up.

Meanwhile, the majority of Democrats remain passive, unwilling to challenge the administration for fear of political repercussions. It’s time for We the People to step up where our elected officials have failed. Our voices must be heard.

It is long past time for members of the U.S. House and Senate to prioritize the citizens they were elected to serve over their own political and financial interests. Republicans blindly support this administration’s actions, regardless of the cost to our constitutional freedoms and global standing.

Your willingness to accept this ‘Gulf of America’ nonsense is a red flag—it signals an openness to normalizing even more serious distortions from this administration. If you’re willing to let this slide, what else will you accept?

Serious question here - has a President that never served in the military earned the right to salute during the playing of the National Anthem?

Trump declares Feb 9 “Gulf of America Day” on flight to Super Bowl. More rhetoric to focus on to distract from President Musks coup.

Tesla earned $2.3 billion in the United States in 2024.
You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right?
Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year.
You want waste and fraud? Look at what some big corporations and the rich are getting away with.
