I like NASA, people with empathy, & science/exploration in general. Climate change should be everyone's #1 policy issue, because it makes every other policy issue worse. Please enable people that trust scientists, women, and a reality based upon facts.
Correct. Joe Biden was the most pro-labor President in US history, most pro-consumer President in US history, only President to do anything real about climate change, invested in infastructure. Nobody fucking cared because the truth didn't matter.

It's very simple, you cannot build an economy that works without respecting humanity. They don't. The tragic thing is this time everyone saw it coming a mile away. Well, anyone with a brain. From 9 months ago or so.

Anyone who is anti-immigrant is a moron, because native people don't want to do this work. Thus this meme which is like 20 years old at least.

People are fighting back, it's just the percentage of Americans that are aware of what is happening is very low atm. A good chunk of Americans just have no clue what is happening because they are not paying attention.

What I don't understand is why these people don't understand that this is their legacy, they will live to regret their actions if they have a shred of decency within them. This is why knowing history is important, because you can see where this path leads.

These are not the sort of people that put much thought into things before they do it.

Lets be clear why this is happening. It's because a certain segment of the left wanted Kamala Harris & Joe Biden to suffer for not doing enough (Even though Benjamin Netanyahu had all the leverage during Biden's term because he didn't want to go to prison/could bet on Trump winning again).

What is interesting about this moment is how many people don't understand that you can't bargain with fascist. You can take a stand against them, or you can not do that and your legacy will be the same as Arthur Neville Chamberlain. Doesn't matter what else she did, this is her legacy now.

Divide and conquer works. Oldest trick in the book, and people keep falling for it.

Propaganda. You got a sizable group of people that believe in imaginary threats because of propaganda networks like Fox News. So these people think they're the good guys to be blunt.

A thing people need to understand, it doesn't take that many people to make a tipping point. Just enough. Doomerism, nihilism, being a coward in this moment will help nobody. At best you'll look back at this moment and hate yourself.

Such thinking ultimately comes from a place of privilege. You either fight for our collective humanity, or you are enabling these monsters. No middle ground. Make your choice, because we know what history says about those who choose their survival at the expense of others.

We fight back with our humanity, undermining our humanity because these people are terrible does not help us. We've got plenty to judge them by without doing all that shit.

The downfall of this admin was a certain thing with the tariff nonsense. You cannot have a healthy economy when there is no stability or trust & you cannot have either unless this President is removed. I don't trust that would have happened if the economy hadn't gone to shit.

Their entire world view would shatter if they admit to themselves they were wrong, so they can't. Also propaganda helps keep them angry & thus not critically thinking.

It's mostly because nobody will stop him and he's that dumb that he doesn't know what a tariff is. Sadly the American people were also too dumb to know what a tariff is. Though, I guess they're going to learn the hard way. Source: www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv... Also, he hates us all.

Kind of funny that consumers saw this coming a mile away, but CEO's. Nope. Lol.

The problem is that smart Americans knew what was coming, but dumb Americans right now are like "things are fine where I am." Even though I keep telling 'em that there is a tsunami on the way that will wreck everything. 😩

To be fair undermining the truth started as a result of the rich wanting to make sure ordinary people were angry at anyone but them. So now economist know how climate scientists feel. Amazingly they had more money than anyone could spend, and it wasn't enough. They needed more.

Yeah, but Republicans are cowards & the American people decided that they wanted them to be in charge.
![“I have a lot of friends who are Republicans,” he said. “They are terrified of being the tallest poppy in the field, and it’s not as simple as being afraid of being primaried and losing their job. They know that that can happen.
“It’s more more personal. It’s their personal safety that they’re afraid of, and they have spouses and family members saying, ‘Do not do this, it’s not worth it, it will change our lives forever. We will have to hire around-the-clock security.’ Life can be very uncomfortable for your children.
“That is real, because when [Elon] Musk [Trump’s most powerful ally] tweets at somebody, or Trump tweets at somebody, or calls somebody out, their lives are turned upside down.
“When he tweets at you, people make threats, and you have to take people at their word. And so that is a real thing that my colleagues struggle with.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:opkequ5hcicn7wec65fbsycy/bafkreic447yzzybu4o7sdomedrekrqqtdz2n5b442if2glpgd653drkim4@jpeg)
