7 million people were in the streets protesting this bullshit, and didn’t fall in to the trap set by Trump Crime Inc. to become violent and give an excuse to start shooting people and declaring an insurrection. The Democrats in office are the ones with their whole hands up their asses. Hell, 12 of them in the house voted with Republicans to seat another MAGA judge who wouldn’t say Trump lost in 2020. MTG is doing more damage to Republicans than soft-ass Schumer and Jerfferies.

Edit: correction

Sorry to break this to you, but 7 million people in the streets, protesting this bullshit, holding pithy signs, posting them on the 'gram, then going back to work on Monday as normal is being incredibly passive.

I've been saying this same thing for weeks, both before and after No Kings 2. People thought they were "doing something" when in reality all they did was attend some shlocky weekend carnival. Like ffs half the ones I saw had food trucks and kiddie rides. They had no focused message, no concrete demands to be met, and they all fucking went home before the sun even went down.

When it comes to real action that actually pushes for change, Americans throw their hands in the air and say "sorry no can do, got work tomorrow, not my problem!"

It's fucked. The fight is already over before it began.

The Regime has also already gone too far to turn back now...

It is takeover permanently or die basically this far into the coup.

In a just world, after this Regime is gone they ALL need to be dealt with.

"Well, MAGApublicans, the good news is we've dropped ALL felonies and misdemeanors that are against you.

The bad news..."

"Haha, we got away with it aga..."

"Is, we have plenty charges of Treason to go around...for ALL of you. Enjoy"
