I REALLY wish I'd live long enough to be able to say "I TOLD YOU SO!!!!!" [View all]
to all the idiots who have been saying tRump isn't a real concern to the continuation of our democracy and to relax, wait for the midterms and other such BS!
Unfortunately, I will not be able to. And I REALLY, REALLY want to!!!!! It's sort of like Woodward and Bernstein but this is 101% worse! They were able to live long enough to see Nixon destroyed. Times are very different. It sucks being alert, aware and current politically in 2025. We Dems have a clear perspective and the future is not pretty.
NO KINGS!!! Oct 18th in over 2,100 cities. We can still fight!
Call your reps. Call the GOP reps even if you do not belong in their district. I pretend I am a constituent using addresses I look up from Zillow in GOP districts across the US and it works!!! I have literally called hundreds of them since 2017 and this method is great. I must give credit to a person I met at an anti-tRump protest in 2017 and it saves a ton of time. I can find a Congresscritter's district, go to Zillow real estate listings for that very specific area and when I call the staffers at the offices of the GOP I have an actual address to give to them if they ask, pretending to be a GOP local constituent. They rarely do. It takes less than 5 minutes to do the entire process of Zillow and phoning!
A family member worked as a staffer for my local CA rep when she was in DC and she confirmed that the staffers DO take note of what callers are saying and they relay the info. I talk super fast, I'm extremely passionate and I do not give the staffer much time to respond since I want to end the call yet record my opinion ASAP! The less time they have to ask me anything, the better. My anger and passion are enough. And I really do end up in years most of the time.
Stay strong, RESIST and spread the word for future generations of Americans if you can. Thanks!!!!!
