Started something they cannot contain

[Gregboo]

Thinking Trump and Musk have awakened a resistance they did not expect and will be unable to control. I anticipate president Musk and Trumpy May have some short term victories but have unleashed a Democratic movement that should not be underestimated. Keep Hope Alive, then hold them accountable!

1. You may be overestimating an informed citizenry

2. we've had to deal with MAGAt anger over fake issues for years

TIME FOR REAL FUCKING ANGER; yes INDEED

[DJ Synikus Makisimus]

3. What makes you think they want to contain it?

Or, for that matter, that anyone CAN hold them accountable now?

4. There was more pushback/demonstrations after 2016..seems strange but true..

5. One thing I think is certain. Life will not be the same for Musk.

Outside of his nazi coterie, he will not be welcomed anywhere.

At least Trump has Mar o Lago and his demented supporters.

E-loon also has supporters, but they're mostly just incels.

6. I hope you're right

Unfortunately other countries seem angrier than US citizens are angry.
I mean Germany had 700,000 protestors out the other day.
We are a much bigger country and maybe a fraction of that.
Plus it's seems politicians seem content to talk a lot but do absolutely nothing.

Most members of Congress are acting as if nothing is happening at all.

21. That's why he won't try that mess elsewhere

They don't tolerate his bullshit.

7. MAGATs haven't felt the pain yet

The MAGATs are celebrating the removal of thousands of ‘useless bureaucrats’ and the undocumented because, for the most part, it’s not them. It won’t be them until the farms start going under, food prices go up, Medicaid is killed, food stamps go anway, etc. Then they’ll find out, and it won’t be pretty. I expect that there will be huge protests all over the country by the summer.

12. You're right. Their pain is coming, and they won't like it.

[allegorical oracle]

18. Wait until SSecurity is affected. The Magats are like the immigrants who've lived in the U.S. for a long

time and didn't think they'd be bothered with the deportation, but some have been.

22. They are not smart

They can't see how things are interconnected.

Very idiotic individuals.

I honestly won't care about their suffering.

8. Energized for some Good Trouble

13. "This(total disrespect for the law) has never happened before!"

Good trouble and making a Lot of Noise. Watch out! Here we come!!!

[proud patriot]

17. Yep

9. End game - theory

They want chaos to usher in marshal law and they want to tank the economy to implement a single currency.

[TnDem]

14. re: chaos

What is "marshal law"?

I have heard of "martial law".

10. This is the post I'm ending my day with! I'm already 43 minutes past my deadline to stop doomscrolling.

11. I don't think so.

We’ve entered an age of apathy. A third or more of the electorate couldn’t be bothered to get off their ass and vote. If you were right, he would have been soundly defeated at the ballot box.

Many folks do not care as long as they get to play some black ops on the laptop, buy some Starbucks and point the finger at someone worse off than the. I’ll leave it to future elections to reveal whether I should have started that last statement with “Most”.

[Justice matters.]

15. The only thing the convicted felon seems to care about is the stock market

Witness how quickly he caved with his dumb trade war: When Wall Street took a deep dive on Monday, signaling how uncertain and unstable investors felt, and the WSJ's front page indicated that a crash was on its way, the orange criminal backed down.

In his 1st term, how many tweets he bragged about the stock market breaking record high after record high, that is until COVID hit and it went down, down, down? That was when he stopped bragging during the 2020 campaign.

16. Yes and No

Yes, Keep Hope Alive. Reminds me so much of Jesse Jackson and his memorable rousing speeches during past Democratic Conventions. Jesse, if you're listening, we love you and miss seeing your smiling face. Hope you are doing well!

And No, I see no sign that these evil SOBs are or will let up on their dastardly deeds any time soon. They are not afraid of anything. They are in the seat of power, in like Flint, in the driver's seat, pedal to the metal. The louder the Democrats get, the faster they go. Republicans have been waiting & dreaming of this moment for decades. They are wicked. They are exactly the opposite of Democrats. We are lovers, they are haters. I hope love rises above this evil, but right now, it's not looking good for Democracy. At least, this is the way I see this astronomic struggle at this time.
