We must lay up our supplies – of love, care, trust, community and resolve – so we may resist the storm

    Maybe being surrounded by these motherfuckers 90% of the time has skewed my view, but no matter what happens, they are going to defend Trump with their lives. Protests are going to get a lot more bloody and Trump is chomping at the bit to send the military to quell them. While I understand what she’s getting at in this article, not all Americans live in California. Just from looking around and listening to the people speaking around me, they’ve already won. It’s not even just the government you have to worry about anymore. Your neighbors are more than happy to help this fascist enact his hateful policies.

      He still lost vote shared had just about the same vote share compared to the previous election. It’s just that dems didn’t show up as much. If his tariff plans go into effect, his support will almost certainly drop a fair amount more. A good chunk of people supported him because they thought he’d magically fix everything economically. Destroying the economy will turn people against him or at least not make them so actively support him

      Tens of millions did not vote for this. If they want to take away rights, make every one a fight. Every thing that they have to spend time on keeps them from moving on to the next thing

        He still lost vote shared compared to the previous election.

        How do you mean?

        2020 Results:

        Biden: 81,283,501 Trump: 74,223,975

        2024 Results (95% Reporting):

        Kamala: 70,383,093 Trump: 74,312,688

        Trump effectively had the same number of people voting for him - and obviously had a bigger share of those that bothered to vote.
