OP
iemanja
(56,283 posts)1. Some of it can be stopped through the courts
I can't think of a political solution unless a few Republicans come along.

(20,550 posts)4. The political solution is to take back the House in 2026
The Senate seems rough.

We should have a real chance to take that seat with two years for Trump EOs and policies to start backfiring on Republicans. A lot of people in NC will very likely have lost their health insurance by then.

Hopefully the courts hold and the House flips in 2 years to bring some balance back.

(25,736 posts)3. I disagree
It's time to mobilize those Trump is trying to crush.

(92,341 posts)5. The people of the nation have to support it
Trump gets away with shit becsuse much of the population either supports him or just doesn't pay attention.

(3,397 posts)7. Yes - but no one with the stones to do it.
The silence is deafening

We will prevail.
