I think you underestimate how much damage this regime is creating. All the programs gutted and shuttered (so far) might not even come back, it’s not as simple as turning something off and on again. Some crucial programs we’ve got taken away are already lost. And the damage being done in just the first year is still only the start. Everything from Projeckt 2025 is still being actively done. Remember when P2025 was mentioned everywhere? Now it’s crickets, because it’s nearly game over for at least a generation. It’s good to remain hopeful in difficult times, but be very wary that it’s going to get a lot darker when this regime feels the walls closing in. There will be bloodshed and it will be an ugly mark on our history.

If Trump was the only one in them; we’d have them by now. I agree with the pressure on Trump because obviously he’s the fucking president. But I really wish this pressure existed prior to this pedophile being president. I really think until the recent media coverage about Trump anyone on the left was treated as a Qanon nutjob if they said their was more to it. (At least treated that way by mainstream media). I’m glad we are here. But I’m also sad it took so long.
I’m blind. What does this say?
Apologies, I’m usually better at adding descriptions. I’ve edited it, and it says: Damn, that’s crazy. Where are the Epstein Files
Thanks. If you’re wondering why your image posts get down voted, that’s probably why
There is a picture of stars, overlaid with a purple tone and retro-futuristic geometries including some overlapping triangles in the upper middle of the image, with the bottom third composed of a wireframe ground as if to simulate an old vector videogame.
Over this image, in an aggressive sans serif font reads:
“DAMN, THAT’S CRAZY! WHERE ARE THE EPSTEIN FILES?”
More distraction from the Epstein files
It’s not a distraction, it’s just more attempts at eroding democracy so that Trump’s term and Republican’s control doesn’t end. The Epstein files is only worth something if Trump could be successfully prosecuted or impeached, which we’ve seen won’t fucking happen. Yeah they matter, but this is not a distraction, they’ve effectively moved on. It’s done, they’ve gotten the prosecutor fired, and their star witness is on “”“work release”“” probably resuming human trafficking
She’s not on work release; she has been made eligible for it.
Otherwise, yes.

The Epstein Files are a distraction from the attempts at a fascist takeover.
It’s a dare for US citizens all over the world! Do you dare travel ‘home’ and face ICE to vote ?? /s

Yep. Hard to intimidate voters when your thugs can’t get face to face with them at the polls.
Cool. Elections are administered by the states though, and my state guarantees mail-in ballots in the constitution. Sooooo, good luck with that, I suppose?
If the Save act goes through I don’t see how they couldn’t do similar with this. I imagine the argument would be the same, that they are not taking the administration of the voting away from the states, just setting a standardized required method. I don’t think he’d be able to do it via executive order legally, but I dont know who would stop it. He could just have the house/Senate pass it like the save act if they so wanted. Your state constitution doesn’t matter at that point. We like to say it’s a free country but it took us 4 amendments just to get to a point that still basically says our people don’t have the right to vote.
The constitution didn’t have a right to vote.
The bill of rights didn’t have a right to vote.
The 15th amendment (1870) said we can’t restrict voting based off Race.
The 19th amendment (1920) said we can’t restrict voting for women.
The 24th Amendment (1964) said we can’t restrict the voting by taxing polls.
The 26th Amendment (1971) said we can’t restrict voters over 18 (previously 21).
Most people think this means all those people have a right to vote, but it is really the government doesn’t have the ability to explicitly restrict those people from voting.
If U.S. citizens had the right to vote none of those amendments would have been necessary and we would be free to vote and our arguments would hold up in court easier. But the U.S. has long perpetuated the lie that we are free. We are a “democratic Republic” where the government can, has, and will try to restrict our freedom at every turn if it benefits those in power.
Tldr; If U.S. citizens had a right to vote, we wouldn’t have had amendments, the Supreme Court would have ruled a long time ago that any act restricting U.S. citizens from voting was illegal.
The ‘if’ in ‘if the SAVE Act goes through’ is doing a lot of work. The recent bill that was passed was only able to be done through budget reconciliation, because you only need 50 votes plus the VP to break the tie. But for bills outside of budget reconciliation, you need 60 votes to end the filibuster. Barring anything unforeseen (recognizing that breaking norms is the norm for this administration), there’s no way I could see it getting through the Senate.
Today I learned pedophiles are scared of mail-in ballots and American democracy.
Why did it take you so long?
That’s how we all vote in Washington state. Its super convenient.

Can’t intimidate people away from voting if they vote by mail.
Release the Trump/Epstein files
OK, but elections are run by states, not the federal government, and the GOP has worked to defang the FEC, so I don’t know how he actually plans to make this happen.
A constitutional fight is just what he’s after. No doubt scotus will find the constitution does in fact grant this power to the president, no take backs, neener neener
“6-3 We’ve found that the Constitution is unconstitutional.”
Top left hat. I don’t think he cares much about the constitution.
Is that Zelenskyy there? Imagine having to meet with this pompous asshole in the WH and be forced to stand there and “admire” his fucking stupid old man hat collection.
It’s not a collection. It’s a grift shop. There are multiples of each item. Look at the shelves on the right too. There are stacks of books to be sold.
It’s not a collection. It’s merch.
Yes, that’s Zelenskyy in black.
That’s a merch store and trump isn’t running again his entire purpose was to bring JD Vance on to subvert MAGA culture.
Does he care about constitutionality?
There have been many things he’s done already that are unconstitutional, and the only response from the Dems are “Well, wait for the election gais, I swear!!”

When has that ever stopped him
I live in an unincorporated area. I have no other way to vote.
That’s because it’s no longer a political party, it’s a cult and you’re either with their child rapist, insurrectionist, white supremacist ignorant bigotry or against them.
Worst bait ever lmaoooo. Feds don’t run elections, states do.
Until the feds show up with armed troops, and “manage” the election.
Yeah… then the governor can roll out the NG and counter them. It’ll be a huge fucked up mess.
You mean like how they are doing it now, to counter the unconstitutional actions of the federal government today?
He is still a nonce
