When I see folks yelling at each other about this political/religious thing or that. When I hear disputes between border & countries I look at this. This is us, every one of us. All we do, did & ever will, all on this tiny oasis surrounded by an void of nothingness. Perspective.

@BengalsJP @Staroxvia @ErinDusty @gizmo8204 Also, y’all know he was POTUS b4 don’t you? There’s like a record of his actions. Healthcare for all wasn’t one of them. Project 2025, they’re all gleefully LOL’ing about, has very different ideas. But hey, that was just “fear mongering” wasn’t it? He knew “nothing about it”?

@BengalsJP @Staroxvia @ErinDusty @gizmo8204 “Trump is for healthcare for all”? Seriously? Riddle me this? When he DOESNT DO THIS, when he signs an abortion ban, can’t deport millions & puts prices up through tariffs, how are you gonna blame Biden & Dems? I’m sure there’s a plan already to do so. I’m just curious.

my step father, who voted for trump, told me he will pray for me so i don't lose my healthcare

@realTuckFrumper Remember, they have to lie to get elected. Now they either don’t act & the lie is exposed or act on their extremely minority beliefs & face the backlash. Both aren’t choices I’d want to be forced into. The advantage of having beliefs you don’t have to hide eh?

@Leslieoo7 @patriottakes I wouldn’t mind hearing a survey of the things his voters think they’ll get. After a week in office he’ll claim he fixed the economy, now it’s booming, & he’s lowered prices & they’ll believe him. It’s THIS you’re up against. Ignorance, LAZINESS, & wishful thinking.

@Leslieoo7 @patriottakes Yep, Americas “informed electorate”. If not spoon fed EVERY detail, in person, carried to the polls & told who to vote for they burn it down. Computers in their pocket, $1B in ads yet “I don’t know her policies”! I’m a Brit. I can list em all. It’s not Dems fault, it’s voters.

MAGA admits it

@DoomScroling Gotta love that GS twt. Now his “masculinity” is ok because Trump won an election? Damn, that masculinity must’ve been pretty fragile. Can you imagine if these weaklings had to go to war? “Pronouns” make them sad in their feelings so burn it down & elect a felon. 🤔 So butch.

These misogynists cheer because now that the election is over there's no need to even attempt to mask their actual goals........project 2025 & the oppression of women.

@briantylercohen @MeidasTouch People will die because of this. Women there, in Ukraine, probably elsewhere. It’s a betrayal & not by Trump or MAGA. They never hid who they are. Americans just couldn’t be bothered to look or know. He’s a literal felon. This isn’t hidden. It’s a boast. Exceptionalism🤣

@briantylercohen @MeidasTouch I was genuinely sad for a while but now I’m angry. Not with Trump, he can’t help it, but with America. “Pronouns”, “my masculinity is threatened”, influencer says “jump” & these 1st world non-issues make Americans put the whole world in jeopardy. Uninformed, prissy & entitled.

Republicans have a rightwing media ecosystem that repeats GOP talking points over and over, ad nauseam, until they’re seared into your cerebral cortexes. Not only is there no equivalent on the left, but plenty of D politicians still refuse to bolster independent progressive creators. They still give all juicy interviews to MSM, still break news on MSM, still pretend MSM is on our “team.” They’re not, and in fact bend over backwards NOT to be viewed as the liberal media. Dem politicians could benefit from validating the very progressive outlets that are actually doing the work to support them.

@griftyirl @PickASideCentre @TheOmniLiberal Seeing as it’s a quiz, can u explain the authority Trump has to “tax” other countries? The mechanism of how the US collects tariff money FROM China? How does China pay? Where do they pay it? Or do importers, Americans, pay? I’m sure they’ll happily cover it though eh? Austerity👍

The individual states have a vested interest to protect themselves. It needs to be an independent investigation done by a special prosecutor. We use them more than Hunter changes hookers nowadays, so I'm still not seeing why yall are so scared of this. "What do you have to hide?

The responses to this are instructive, remember, “All Road Lead to Rome” for conservatives; no matter what happens it’s ALWAYS evidence of a conspiracy. If Trump lost, it would have been rigged. I’d be won, it was because 2020 was rigged. To a cult member, every single outcome can be used to legitimize the conspiracy.

@griftyirl @PickASideCentre @TheOmniLiberal Oh, I see how this works. A claim is made with no evidence, just assertion, it’s debunked, answered or shown to be silly & then they just deny reality or ANY answer. No need to wonder how Trump won is it? This is your “informed electorate”, solipsism. Enjoy tariffs & P2025 👍

@JStein_WaPo Here’s a tip. Every other 1st world democracy saw Trump for what he is. Only Americans couldn’t see it. Everyone else binned their populists but not America. It’s not the Dems fault you don’t wanna do the TINY BIT of work to inform yourselves en masse. I feel for all who did.

@JStein_WaPo Oh boo hoo. “Who’s gonna tell me who to vote for”? “Who’s gonna explain it all to me personally”? “It’s not like I’ve a computer filled the world knowledge in my pocket”. “I’d better go on YouTube & let MAGAPATRIOT4356 fool me into voting for them”. Are voters children now?

Celinda Lake, a Democratic pollster, on talking to voter focus groups: “Everybody knows what Trump economics is -- China; tariffs; tax cuts. Then you go to them and ask, ‘What are Democratic economics?,’ and someone will make a joke about welfare and half the people can't name anything. It's nothing like the Republican brand.”

@realTuckFrumper The GOP should check out the world headlines. They aren’t “world jealous of Americas boldness & foresight”. The headlines aren’t speculative. They’ve seen Trump b4. Y’all elected a criminal. For folks that cried “they’re laughing at us” it’s an interesting move.

@realTuckFrumper God dammit, have some conviction. With party affiliation blocked out Dem policies were handily polling WAY BETTER. It’s the team sport BS & non voter apathy that populists use. Try finding a country that prospers from populism? Iran, USSR, fascists, etc? I can’t find 1 example.

@Morning_Joe See this weird. I remember a show where they were saying what a great candidate Harris was & what a great job she was doing. That show was right. It was THIS ONE. Trouble is no one believes it because of hypocrisy & flip flopping like this. Tomorrow I guess it’ll be MAGA 👍.

"It's time for the Democrats to take a good, long hard look at how this happened, and if they just say 'Trump bad, Democrats virtuous' they're gonna keep losing. This is not about just Trump; this is about the Democrats and being radically disconnected from rest of the country." @joenbc
