(389 posts)I understand the desire by some for democratic politicians to be out there pushing back on Trumps agenda in loud and visual ways with protest votes and other things to show theyre fighting but I want a fulsome and well thought out plan to turn 2026 into a blue wave. Were two weeks in to this mess and we have to be smart and have a plan. I still dont think we have yet to fully understand why we lost in November and until we do we arent united in messaging and strategy. It is clear to me that just telling people how terrible Trump is is unfortunately not as effective as it once was. We all knew what this guy is his lackeys planned to do but all we heard about was about prices of eggs and milk. I have yet to hear those people complain now that both are even higher. The sad reality is that many people want exactly what Trump is doing and those that were conned into voting for him have to feel the pain and suffer like the rest of us before they realize that Republicans dont care about them. I dont wish pain on others but pain is a powerful motivator and many of these policies need to be felt by people before they wake the F up. Im fed up with the constant cycle of Republicans breaking the country, Dems fix it only to be blamed for not being perfect and get voted out. We are in FAFO time.
