Get mad! Get angry! Be a fucking human! Show some emotion!
Spare me the bullshit of the President can say whatever he wants, it doesnt bother me! Trump cried like a whiny little bitch and it got him the presidency.
Showing a little anger or annoyance isnt all that bad! This man is torching your entire party to the ground... and nothing? We get nothing? No reaction at all? We know you dont like him! We know you also think hes a fuckin idiot!
This man threatens to go to your states and turn your constituents against you!... and you let him. You cower to those threats. You dont fight back. You dont fight for whats yours. Thats why you also lose to him. Thats why your constituents gravitate to him instead of you. Your constituents dont see you. You let him eat the whole meal while he give scraps. You let him take all of your oxygen, while you suffocate.
Stop playing nice in the sandbox... because Lord knows Trump wont.

(11,738 posts)Trump is a bully. He wants to get under people's skin. When you lash out at him, he enjoys it.
I agree that we need to stop with this false decorum. We need to be strong with our language and not be afraid to simply label what Trump is and what he is doing.
I do not see any "constituents" gravitating toward Trump that follow any other candidate. None of the Democratic Candidates are losing supporters to Trump by any metric.
You don't want to get into a fist fight with Trump ala Biden. You don't want to trade insults either because it is childish. What you want to do is what Nancy Pelosi does to him. Make quick, biting, truthful comments about who he is and what he does. Those drive him crazy. You do want to stand up to him and respond when he says something stupid, which is often. You don't want to engage with him, but about him.
Other than that, I am not sure who you are talking about that is "cowering" from Trump.

(11,738 posts)People say that Republicans are spineless but I think they are also complicit. They have pinned their hopes for remaining in power despite having less actual supporters for their policies, on Trump's brand of right wing populism.
They cannot get off the train because they will be exposed as the traitors they are.

(27,985 posts)I came back here to see if there is a planned March on Washington and sit ins for every unindicted co-conspirator Senator who unleashed the Impeached one and destroyed our country.
I'm not seeing anything.

(9,186 posts)Trump can lie continually, that is what he does. He can make sexist, racist disparaging remarks about people and if they bitch, they are snowflakes. if you do the same to him, he cries for mommy and threatens to sue you...
The same for his supporters and enablers. If you say Devin Nunes cow, he will sue you! Republicans voice their dire warnings about Sharia Law in America as they pass sharia-like laws on a regular basis. I refer to Vice-Fuhrer Pence as Sharia Law Pence. Republicans can call gay people fags, be offended by our free speech and protests. Trump has placed immigrant children in prison camps and some have died in his for-profit concentration camps. But if you say anything, you are a snow flake who should leave America.
If you make Hitler comparisons the GOP has a hissy fit.
They are the Do as we say, not as we do or did party.
The GOP (Goobers Only Party) and Trumpenfurer MUST be defeated in 2020.

(16,110 posts)but no one cares about my anger.
The senators of my state have zero fucks to give, they aren't angry, they are delighted that he's going full dictator.
