    Started as a cover for not swearing in our new Congresswoman from Arizona, spun out of control.

    We need to stop talking TRUMP. We need to start talking REPUBLICANS did this. Want lasting change? Stop aiming for the dementia patient cult leader. He’ll die soon enough and blame with shift. Stop aiming at individual targets and shotgun this thing.

    Stop talking “conservatives”. Both anti-Trump and anti-conservative messaging is a personal attack, and they’ll resist. Say, “The REPUBLICANS did this. REPUBLICANS are to blame.”

    These people have no loyalty to “Republicans”. Hit them where they can fold up and agree. “I’m not the bad guy. My guy isn’t the bad guy. It’s those damned Republicans! If it weren’t for those meddling kids!”

    Would releasing the Epstein files matter in anyway for Trump? Everyone that can be swayed by evidence already knows Trump is in there…

    And the stuff the republicans are doing is terrible in it’s own rights, saying “don’t care, release the Epstein files” seems to be downplaying the situation.

    I am open to being taught like a five year old, how continued focus on the Epstein files is a good progressive strategy.

      Well, even if trump himself can weather that storm, the rest of the powerful people in there might not. Either that or it’s just a distraction.

    Is this hope I keep tasting the last few days?

    Mamdani wins, Pelosi stepping down, dems winning multiple races, reps doing things like this…

    No one can change her mind. Reality is reality.

    Republicans are the party of pedophiles.

    This is great and all but…You are an elected official with an office budget. Get a sign professionally made or have a friend with nice penmanship draw the sign FFS. Going up against such sloppy thinking opponents doesn’t mean you make sloppy signs. Do better so as to look better and be thought of better and,dare I say, professional and serious.
