This is a reminder that no one can convince Trump voters to no longer support Trump, better than Trump can.

Watch them.
To fuel you. To move you.
Don't be flooded, get loud.
Demand progress.
Demand a free and critical press.
Demand real changes.
Call them ALL out.
Literally. Make calls. Post. Stream. Record.
Piss people off.
Silent gawking at a million train wrecks isn't resistance, it's giving up.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.

Opportunities are everywhere.

Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉
