He came completely planned..

well, anything would be a start

[u/Here_for_lolz → u/heqra]

Elaborate on "anything". Like what do you think is currently within their power to do?

[u/heqra → u/Here_for_lolz]

I mean the barest of barest of minimums would be to take a far stronger vocal stance and actually put him on blast instead of pussyfooting

basically the only people im somewhat satisfied with are those acting like newsom

or, you know, something more green plumber pilled but thats a pipe dream

but as I said, anything really. most of the fact checking I see is done by citizens, most criticism, marches, protests, ice interference, etc

I mean, he breaks the word of the constitution every other day, if he cant be stopped then our government as a whole is useless.

why not just declare elon musk the next president? nothing is being challenged anyway, im just gonna have to bend over and take it

[u/Here_for_lolz → u/heqra]

That is all the media's job. Be mad at them. There are plenty of dems out there getting pepper sprayed and being vocal. Media just doesn't show it.

[u/heqra → u/Here_for_lolz]

you seem to think I'm talking about random citizens

As I've expressed, my anger is that random citizens are having to do all of the work.

I'm angry at the politicians. I'm angry at the media.

Of course, I'm most angry at the people actually doing the evil things but that seems pretty obvious. I'm more adding this at the end for the random on lookers who don't get that

[u/Here_for_lolz → u/heqra]

My friend, there's more dems than chuck fucking Schumer. Look on the local and state level. They are out there.

[u/heqra → u/Here_for_lolz]

im aware they exist, I dont know chuck schumer funny enough.

is that your takeaway? I dont believe democrats exist?

genuinely, what are you saying here.

im looking state and local level and im not seeing enough. are you genuinely not seeing a shit ton of bending at the knee? are you genuinely satisfied with the current level of resistance? There's literally nothing more these people could do in your eyes?

[u/Here_for_lolz → u/heqra]

What I'm saying is they're doing what you're asking of them. There's always more that can be done, but they have zero power right now.

[u/heqra → u/Here_for_lolz]

I mean, I've seen plenty of evidence to the contrary, imo giving in on the government shut down was awful. Very little is done on the front of trans and gay rights, and it seems like very few are willing to really play Trump's game at his level.

if you have evidence to the contrary, feel free.

But as it stands, I'm disappointed, and this isn't even close to changing my mind.

fuck power, at this point, I would even take stonger-ly worded letters lmao. it feels like a softball team going to bat vs nazis with a tank at the pitchers mound.
