I do stuff. As much as I can. But whatever it is they are doing it is clearly meaningless. He is essentially doing whatever he wants and has zero fear of Democrats in Congress.

Red states are trying to force raped 12 yr olds to have their rapist's baby.
He is ordering the kidnapping people and sending them to torture prisons, both here and in foreign countries.
He is literally going to rewrite history.
He is remaking the WH into one of his tacky golf clubs.
Billionaires walk around the WH without escorts and wander into classified briefings.
He is literally doing military occupations of American cities.
I could write for hours and not be done. I wake up in sheer terror every morning. I fully expect to wake up one morning and Mango Mussolini will have officially declared himself a dictator over the country.
The seriousness of these times cannot be understated and that anyone that thinks having press conferences and writing sternly worded letters is meeting the moment then honestly I don't know what that level of privilege is like to be that isolated from what is happening.
We need more. We need these people to meet the moment. Right now they are not.
To be clear it is NOT my job to tell them what they need to do. If they can't do the job then quit. We need serious people right now that are willing to lead and do things differently.
