I'm just wondering why "our side" always has to set the example for democratic leadership, civility, adherence to the

[Evolve Dammit]

RULE OF LAW FCS, while the other side can do everything up to and including to a coup and coalesce behind a convicted felon, adjudicated rapist, Putin-loving, Kim Jong loving, Victor Orban loving, Xi loving and gaslighting "the enemy within" (that would be us.)
We have to decide if we are going to actively resist, knowing the Orange One would LOVE to impose martial law, the Insurrection Act, and whatever else for the sole sake of bloodshed, punishment and to be like his DFF's. "Why can't we just shoot them?"
I wish Washington or Lincoln could come back and smack this motherfucker square in the face for what he is advocating, embracing and projecting throughout the world.
Embarrassed for our country, afraid for our allies and know full well that he is in bed up to his ass with Vlad and Friends. That should be the show. Fuck Fox and Friends. Let's do Vlad and Friends and cut through the façade of any faux loyalty to the U.S. and our Constitution.
Orange Boy and entire (prove me wrong) GOP are in to burn us to the ground. And MSM just whistles past the graveyard. Disgusting.

1. Because more than half of this damn country ARE IDIOTS!!!!!

🤬 🤬 🤬 🤬 🤬 🤬 🤬 🤬 🤬 🤬 and sorry, I’M YELLING……I AM NEVER GOING TO GET OVER THIS….EVER.

[Evolve Dammit]

4. And ten MILLION did not vote that did in 2020?? Is that accurate

[Loupe Garoue]

2. Have you seen this?

[Lunabell]

12. Yep.

It's worth a look.

[stillcool]

3. I think people might think the two parties are somehow equal

that what one can do the other one can as well.

[Evolve Dammit]

7. Not sure what you mean. Dems have always followed the Rule of Law, peaceful transfer of power, even in 2000.

[republianmushroom]

5. Because the democrats are the traditionalist.

[Evolve Dammit]

9. Not sure "traditionalist" fits for Dems? Always way more progressive than Repukes.

[hadEnuf]

6. You are right.

We need to come together, in lockstep, and battle these fascist bastards as a force. No more of this "trying to herd cats" stuff.

They have declared war on us and the country and we need to make a stand and say NO.

NO should be our mantra.

[CrispyQ]

26. I thought that message was clear this election. ??? -nt

[hadEnuf]

30. Sure, it was becoming clear for a few months but obviously not for everybody.

Going forward we need to become more proactive, inflexible and stand our ground. We also need a media that is not censored nor propagandist in order to effectively combat the RW disinformation machine. And democrats need to unite like we never have before.

At this stage of the game that may sound lofty, but we have nothing to lose.

[Skittles]

8. because WE are treated like women and POC

THEY are treated like white men.

[Evolve Dammit]

10. Hence, we are the enemy within, by virtue of our gender and race?

[Skittles]

11. Trump LITERALLY CALLED US THE ENEMY WITHIN

that essentially applies to ANYONE WHO DOESN'T GOOSE STEP

[Evolve Dammit]

13. that's how I took it.

[Evolve Dammit]

25. that's how I read it.

[electric_blue68]

22. "according to" them. 😑 Projection from Drumphf & Co for their authoritarian fevor

[mcar]

14. MSM has made it so, IMO

Democrats have to be perfect, Rs get a pass. Over and over.

[Evolve Dammit]

17. Crystal clear now. Harris/Walz ran a really good campaign. She had to be flawless, he is lawless. Not a peep anymore.

[mcar]

20. Yep, and now we're being told we need to "listen"

to those who voted against us and against their own self-interests because...economy?

[CrispyQ]

28. How much free coverage has Trump gotten on the news compared to Clinton, Biden, & Harris?

How many times did they report on Harris while showing pics of Trump. If you had the volume off you'd think it was all Trump. Ugh. And he's so fucking ugly.

[travelingthrulife]

15. Nooooo...it's the Democratic identity messaging. Or some such nonsense.

Identity messaging is pointing out that all US citizens are supposedly equal. Why is that a bad message? Isn't that a cornerstone of our country's identity?

[Evolve Dammit]

18. it is nonsense. Total BS.

[maxrandb]

29. Funny how Retrumplicans lock on the male, white vote

is NEVER described as "identity politics".

Almost seems purposeful, doesn't it?

[ColinC]

16. Because we believe in those things while the other side does not

[Evolve Dammit]

19. yep. That's the truth

[allegorical oracle]

21. It's about tribalism. Learned that when I read Lord of the Flies and studied the

Crusades. Problem is Dems tend to think that right makes might; Repugs think might makes right.

[Intractable]

23. Because if WE don't hold it together, it will fall apart for all of us.

And that may be inevitable.

The only thing that will save us now is the incompetence of Trump and his people when they try to change things.

There will be lots of infighting and jockeying for position within his administration.

[nolabear]

24. That's what makes us a "side."

We believe these things are what civilization is based on. And we seek to make laws that help that kind of civilization flourish. Them? Well, you know.
