Trump cut a secret deal with the Mexican cartels, Mexican security chief Omar García Harfuch confirmed cartel family members entered US in a deal with the Sinaloa Cartel and the Trump regime. President Sheinbaum is demanding an explanation from the US which tried to keep it secret.
And this...

Before becoming President, Donald Trump was also known for his associations with organized crime and drug traffickers in the US, particularly in connection to the illicit cocaine trade. His properties were frequently linked to the trafficking of drugs, women, and children.
One of the many common threads in rump's attacks on institutions, etc.
He attacks any agency, entity, or person who speaks the truth, or seeks the truth.

It is serious.
I need to know more...
I feel a strong need to know who the numerous persons are who brought fascism to the voters of America. For example, Rupert Murdoch who brought us the FOX propaganda channel referred to as FOX News. That would help me focus my hate and anger toward the most important persons (and feel less resentment and disdain toward the voters who fell for it).
Oligarch Facilitation Policy
Several years ago - I'm unable to determine exactly when - John McCain declared that the reason government is not working very well is money, money in politics. In the years since then the problem has only gotten worse. The idea that money is a form of speech which can be openly or secretly funded by anyone anywhere is the current reality. It could be called the “oligarch facilitation policy”. Democrats (should) have a plan for changing this.
Possibly the most reliable financial reality, especially in the world of capitalism, is “it takes money to make money”. The wealthy get wealthier while most other people experience economic hardship, poverty, or near poverty as they struggle to pay for basic needs such as rent and health care. Democrats (should) have a plan for changing this.
Question. With capitalism, is greed good or bad? A brief scan of economic history (Wikipedia) reveals that there have been many financial crises, panics, and recessions, and some depressions. There have been approximately 40 such economic events in the U.S. since 1700. Many were triggered by over-speculation (greed). Speculation is a risky credit/debt strategy of some sort in an effort to maximize profit or wealth. There is good evidence that wisely structured regulations can help minimize the frequency and severity of financial panics and crises. So, who is foolish enough to oppose regulations? The greedy, of course, the same people who tend to trigger financial crises. Democrats (should) have a strategy for dealing with this.
College grad or former student? Contact your university.
Urge them to arrange connections with other universities so they can resist the Trump dictatorship (attack) as a group.
America was special. It attracted and supported world class greed.
Some obvious examples: Rupert Murdoch, Elon Musk, Peter Thiel. And family names like Trump, Koch, Bezos, Adelson...
I don't buy the religious idea that America was blessed by God. Think about what was done to Native Americans and Africans. No decent god would condone that, let alone bless the perpetrators.
This country was great because of the Constitution and respect for the Constitution.
Can defenders of the Constitution - that should be most of us - pull us back from what we have become - a land of greed, deceit, and hypocrisy focused on entertainment, money, and religiosity... owned and controlled by certain people and certain types of people (intentionally non-specific).
Will the wealthy and powerful help salvage the country that supported (and permitted) their stunning financial success?
My Trump voting neighbor is "never going to vote again" (for a presidential candidate)
She is in her mid 70s and her son has worked for the State Department for years. She is angry.
I'm guessing she is philosophically unable to vote for a Democrat and now unwilling to vote for a Republican - because they cannot be trusted. She is religious ( where critical thinking is heavily discouraged ) so she has a long history of accepting/believing whatever she hears repeated over and over. As a result she is unable to recognize a con man or liar. She is the perfect mark (target) for Trumpy politicians, aka, Republicans.

A message for Republican politicians
I have no idea whether you support democracy or fascism/autocracy which is the current crisis issue in this country. I realize it would be very frightening to stand up against mobsters who have governmental power ( or even persons who are just mobsters ).
HOWEVER, this is a moment in history that will define you and all citizens of this country forever.
I doubt you signed up to be a fighter, of sorts, helping to defend democracy and the American way of life organized as a democratic republic under a historic document called the US Constitution. ( I assume you did take the oath of office after you were elected.)
So, it would be totally understandable if you chose to step aside, to resign (immediately) rather than stand up and fight. You and your family could hide out in a remote mountain area, or some other country. You could be safe. You would have done something that might help preserve democracy and the American way of life.
Supporting or cooperating with someone who frequently tells vicious, harmful, damaging, and dangerous lies is your other option. Make no mistake about it, telling harmful, damaging, and dangerous lies is a feature of pure unmitigated evil.
Suggested message from the masses to those in power
To all congress persons and senators, especially Republicans...
"If you are not willing to stand up for democracy, both in this country and more broadly, then you need to resign immediately."
It would be a unified, straightforward, and simple message. At the very least it will send them a message about their chances of being re-elected. There is a slim chance it could make a difference. They could bail out rather than directly defy the mobsters.
This is not a substitute for more tangible actions that one might think of.
