Resist lying Trump and GOP enablers
Hope you realize that Trump’s promise to lower costs is another lie. Tariffs and deportation of non-criminal immigrants will raise food, energy and healthcare costs and will lead to an increase in inflation, groceries, housing, vehicle and gas prices. Chaos has begun.
If you are not a straight white male Christian Nationalist, your rights and privileges will be severely impacted.
Proposed trillion-dollar cuts to Medicare and Medicaid will hurt the poor and elderly so that racist Trump and the lapdog GOP can cut taxes on the rich (again) and large corporations who don’t need it and will balloon the deficit. Project 2025 is under way. A recession looms with high unemployment.
Trump’s loyal but mostly unqualified cabinet is already considered a threat to our national security.
Senate Republicans are rolling over, covering their eyes and ears letting it happen.
Who’s to blame? All the people who voted for Trump out of ignorance of facts, believing the drumbeat of lies and misinformation on Fox, X and other social media. People are enamored by dictator-trainee Trump’s tough-guy showmanship and lack of intelligence, character and integrity.
Trump’s pardoning of Jan. 6 police-killing-and-maiming criminals is OK with Republicans and Trump voters. This opens the door to more violence at each government level.
The GOP can no longer claim it is the party of law enforcement and rule of law. Led by felon Trump and Nazi-saluting Elon Musk, the GOP will continue to rig elections and take your rights away. Support democratic resistance.
