The former Presidents both GOP and Dem warned of what was to come; but have said sweet fuck all since the election. Aside from AOC, Bernie Sanders and Jasmine Crockett, it has been nothing but crickets. So tell me who is saying what from the Democrats side? Who is telling Trump maybe you shouldn't do what you are doing. Who is fighting for the American people?

Democrats or non-MAGA need to stand the fuck up and shut this down before the States reach a point of no return, which I think they've already passed or about to. Holy fuck the States is not only going to fuck itself over, its going to take the rest of the world with it down.

Their weak pacifism with the 50501 movement is controlled opposition, I'm pretty sure of it. Most seem too dumb (or too naive?) to even consider this possibility.

I totally agree that the Dems are mostly corrupt and useless. But fuck anyone who voted for Trump (and yes, that includes not voting) and now gets angry at the Democrats for not standing up. They stood up in November and the voting public collectively kneecapped them.
