All of these protests have been on one side of the spectrum, too. It’s darkly funny to imagine how Dems would react if the largest protests in history were regularly being held AGAINST them - they’d have surrendered to King Trump years ago - but when it’s in their favor they just ignore it

Six out of eight of the largest mass-movement protests in US history have happened since 2017. You wouldn't know this from most media reporting, and you sure af wouldn't know this from the way either major party has reacted.

Democrat politicians could easily change this situation and bring attention to them if they tried.

An infection with BMV (the Billionaire Mind Virus) produces a wide range of different symptoms.

Some begin to rave about imaginary bogeymen like Satan or the Antichrist.

One reason Dems should be sharing this and talking about it nonstop is because the key to dominating the public mind is media that evokes emotion. It’s how George Floyd started nationwide protests overnight. And it’s impossible to see this without feeling blind rage. Healthcare policy could never.

I was just there. It’s amazing.

We got there very early and walked the trails with literally no one else around, which was magical.

Pete, we shouldn’t have ‘look closely’.

Every single day Democrats squander multiple opportunities to degrade the Republican brand.

Why? Because they don’t work together, they don’t tell a stories about America, and they don’t create the theater necessary to get national attention.

Imagine being a Democrat politician and failing to use this as an opportunity to trash the Republican Party.

Imagine being "America first" but allowing Qatar to build a military base on American soil in Idaho.
Guess all you need to occupy US soil is to give a plane to donald. This is the dumbest most irresponsible shit ever. This must be reversed in 2028.

Usually presidents don't have much of a direct impact on the economy. But in 2025, the downturn is ALL Trump. It's his tariffs, his shutdown, his ICE raids, his health care cuts.

Where is the coordinated Dem response machine?

And the decline is not happening AS the Trump admin is doing all those things.

It is happening BECAUSE the Trump admin is doing all those things

A complete failure of Dem politicians to actually mount a serious public opinion influence operation.

I think your perception regarding most stem people being right wing is not correct. (Billionaires are a different story)

For the most part, MIT is a pretty progressive place and it’s filled with serious, thoughtful, educated people.

Fanone refuses to let history be rewritten by Republicans, and won’t allow the J6 crimes be swept under the rug. Bravo.

Michael Fanone on the January 6 rioters Trump pardoned: Daniel Rodriguez, he was sentenced to over 12 years in prison, for driving a stun gun into my neck while I was restrained and being beaten. Kyle Young, who attempted to take my firearm. Thomas Sibick, who stripped me of my badge and my radio.
