5. How do we convince MAGA world that Trump really means "it?"

Everyday folks I know simply don’t believe Trump will do what he says .

Eliminate Dept of Education - in my family there are teachers, social workers, librarians, vice principals, IT admins. Every single one of them voted for Trump. Not me is alive and well in Texas.

Last night on Hannity the orange one was ranting about Biden when Hannity interrupted him to talk about the economy. According to the news Trump replied “I don’t care.”

I live in a State that is prone to hurricane, flooding and, yes, prairie wildfires. Some folks here are watching what Cheeto man is saying about California and the federal government’s role in disaster recovery. Members of my own family have received FEMA help 3 times over the years. Yet they are railing against Californians receiving ANY help.

He doesn’t mean it. Uhhhh yes he does.

Protesting even nonviolently isn’t gonna change their minds - hardship might.

I pray the DNC is busily making campaign ads from the first 3 days of this administration.

I also wish California would stand up with other blue states and cut off funds going to support red states like Kentucky and South Carolina. 😬

This will be a bare knuckle, down in the mud blood and beer fight, in my opinion.

We need more religious leaders like Bishop Budde to stand and deliver.

Just a few random thoughts this am.
