Look at Trump's tweets today and guess what his next authoritarian moves might be.
"Something has to be done, including the possibility of the United States starting our own Worldwide Network to show the World the way we really are, GREAT!" - DJT #FakeTrumpEmergency
The goals of these Religious Right organizations include:
✔ • Controlling Americans’ Decisions about Reproduction, Sex and Death
✔ • Passing Anti-Gay, anti-LGBTQ Laws
✔ • Controlling Education in America
👉• Instilling Censorship
One of the most common assumptions I see is that Democrats want to win the next election. The actions of some Democrats do not support that conclusion.
If you were an actor or politician and someone offered you tons of money to help big donors and/or the GOP, would you do it? Would you think about it? 2/
Could you even be persuaded to pledge your allegiance to a foreign government at the expense of the U.S. Capitol?
DO NOT CUT MEDICARE, @JoeBiden, end the filibuster and make #MedicareForAll happen if you truly want to be thought of as a modern-day FDR instead of a guy who took us further backward by cutting healthcare during a pandemic.
Joe Biden is no FDR. What an evil, scummy thing to do to the American people, especially during a pandemic. Massive cuts to Medicare because Democrats won't end the filibuster? Cuts to farm aid? With Democrats like these, who needs Republicans?
"The money is right there. It’s spent on bombs instead of homes. On cops instead of kids. On bailing out banks instead of families. Again the only argument against helping people is a lie." - @JoshuaPotash
Democrats have a majority, but Biden's cutting MEDICARE and FARM AID because of... Republicans? FUCK THAT! End the filibuster, you gormless <descending into incoherent and very unflattering mumbling> @SenateDems!
How dare they cut already sparse benefits from some of the most vulnerable people, especially during a pandemic! How dare they shrug away the mantle of a people's majority and pretend it's due to the Republicans' corruption instead of
their own greed and elitism. It's time to move forward and join other first world countries. It's time for #MedicareForAll.
"You all don't get it. I live in Trump country, in the Ozarks in southern Missouri, one of the last places where the KKK still has a relatively strong established presence."
"They don't give a shit what he does. He's just something to rally around and hate liberals, that's it, period."
"He absolutely realizes that and plays it up, they love it, he knows they love it, and the fact that people act like it's anything other than that just proves that liberals are idiots, all the more reason for high fives all around."
The U.S. needs a children's vote on issues relevant to them.

Why? Because they're humans too, and they possess the wisdom of innocence from which we could become a kinder, safer, wiser nation. Their voices should be heard, and right now they're not.

A children's vote would also educate upcoming generations on the basics of good citizenship in a representative democracy. They would practice these basics such that once they become adults, they will understand and better perform their roles as citizens.
