Congrats, MAGA, you’ve owned the Libs—and all it’s cost you is a functioning government, a working democracy, human rights, national peace, economic stability, affordable groceries, affordable healthcare, qualified leaders, and global standing.

Congratulations, Trump Supporters, You've Owned the Libs

Well, Trump Supporters, as a member of the woke radical Left, it kills me to say this, but you win.

We’re in a health care crisis.

Hospitals and clinics will close from Trump’s cuts.

15 million people will lose their health care.

Now Trump’s CDC layoffs are making it even WORSE by gutting our ability to stop emerging health threats.

Democrats are fighting to stop this.

Let's flood the zone with new messaging. They are Secret Police, not "federal agents" or "ICE agents." It's so simple, even Red America will understand. Secret Police are bad.

ICYMI — Trump lied that Chicago had “4000” murders, when it’s projected to have 380 this year (way down from last year)

If it’s so bad there why does he have to keep lying about it?

Black unemployment rate has surged over the past four months up from 6 to 7.5%. While white unemployment is down to 3.7%. This is because Trump has a created a climate with his war on diversity that favors hiring whites only. That is 100% what MAGA wants. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/12/b...

Black Unemployment Is Surging Again. This Time Is Different.

The GOP stealing from the poor to support lower taxes for the wealthiest. The greed never stops with these people. Do not let the tax exemptions expire for the affordable care act. If that is all it takes all should support it.

Trump labeling ANTIFA a terrorist group is all part of his plan to criminalize the Democratic Party and ultimately ban it as a terrorist group. He wants one party rule. We know this because it's exactly what Hitler and Mussolini did when first came to power.

Speaking of October, it’s the perfect time to talk about the Epstein files. They contain the names of America’s most powerful, richest, and morally vile men. I am now certain that speaker Johnson is in there because why else would he make such an ass of himself to cover up the truth

Mile Johnson must bring the US House back into session to swear in the new Rep from AZ, and then a vote will happen to release the Epstein files!

MAGA should have rightfully been labeled a domestic terrorist group after their Jan. 6 terrorist attack on the Capitol.
