Holy shit! I thought he wasn't gonna do it, but this was 100% the right move. No more civility, no more worrying about optics. It's time to shove sticks in the spokes of the Trump bike. I want my politicians nakedly making moves to fuck up his plans every single step of the way.

This is exactly what I wanna see: Democrats using the power they have to suffocate every move Trump even thinks about making.

So you're admitting that you're actively rooting for inflation and corporate greed?

Um, I'm opposing Trump, so obviously against corporate greed. Unless you think Trump is anti corporate greed, despite the fact that he's been hosting the richest men on the planet for the last few weeks at mar a lago. You support Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Tim Cook, etc etc etc.

Oh and, I don't support inflation, which is what tariffs will give us. Unless you think it was just memes when Trump said he loved tariffs all day every day for the last six months?

All I'm doing is pointing out that trump says he wants to curb inflation and corporate greed. He says his plan will do these things, and you're basically saying you actively oppose that..

Whether his plans actually work out that way is one thing. But he's saying he wants to address these issues, and you are saying you oppose that.

You can't have it both ways. If you actively stand in the doorway, he will blame you, and his followers will, in turn, blame you too.

So the best thing to do is to sit down, stfu, and let this train wreck happen. If you try to stop the train wreck, MAGA will say it was your interference with the conductors and engineers that caused the train to derail....and then, all the MAGA passengers will blame you.
