American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

Resist, Ridicule, and Rout Republicans
Normal politics must be abandoned for bold strategies that allow the majority to go on offense against an increasingly unhinged, dangerous, & reckless Trump Administration playing for all the marbles.

Donald Trump is using federal agents to stoke fear and violate constitutional rights — all with the aims of expanding his control and sending military troops to our cities.
It’s unlawful and un-American. We must all stand up and speak out against fanning the flames of violence.

Andry Romero, a young gay man, was given an asylum appointment by the U.S. Government. When he showed up to the appointment we kidnapped him and sent him to a foreign prison.
I asked Secretary Noem to check if he’s alive. Her response was shameful.

American civil society is full of abject cowards, that is the issue. The government is a mafia state but it is winning because most American elite institutions are devoid of anything resembling integrity and are folding rather than stand on principles that were little more than marketing.
