46. We have to make these people realize

Thu Mar 20, 2025, 09:31 AM

Mar 2025

what some of them are starting to see, that Republican Congress is not helping but hurting them. They have to see that they are supporting a Russian sympathizer who is working actively against our allies. Democrats have to pound every Republican in Congress and call them out on their support for this. Make them explain why they support this un American president and his clearly illegal actions. I don't care about what trump and his Nazi administration says I want to know what every Republican has to say on the record over and over again. Paint them for what they are. If they don't support this then make them vote against this and for you.
