I watch and read news and it looks like some people are finally waking up

as far as the tRump agenda goes...and his goal of bankrupting then killing of all American citizens.

Over the last few weeks of listening to Dem podcasts and reading the responses it looks like (maybe short term) that both Dsms and Independents are angry with tRump and now even a few of his loyal constituents are realizing that he actually IS destroying the USA right now and in every possible way.

I track this stuff as an activist. There has been a real shift lately and even though his die-hard constituents are singing a different tune than they were 2 months ago.

It is a combination of the economic chaos he has created through his tariffs and his Big Beautiful Bill and Project 2025 and his attempts to start wars, and his deteriorating mental/ physical decline is so bad he can't hide it any longer. His poll numbers are tanking and leaving American citizens with no health care and Social Security on top of it.

The tide has turned against tRump. The economy sucks and even his cult is finally seeing its effect on THEM and their personal lives and they are wavering in their support of THE KING.

Remember, "It's the economy, stupid"?

Well, the "stupids" are finally waking up and smelling the coffee. I expect it to be a short lived clarity and perception and they will fall back into lock step soon enough when Distraction #57 gives him more time to complete his agenda of destroying the USA.

1.Keep up with the mass protests,
2.Do mass boycotts (like Jimmy Kimmsl)
3.Then once we have our ducks in place have a nationwide general strike.

There aren't nearly enough of them waking up. They'd rather eat their shit sandwiches than ever vote Democratic. They've been convinced by their stupid fucking churches that voting Democrat is a mortal sin, so they never will. Besides which, the only thing the stupid assholes do in response to the world going to shit is to start babbling about the Last Days and stupid Revelation bullshit. They think Jesus is coming again when it's really fascists coming on their faces.

For these types before.

Instead of running a Dem, they have to run an independent.

They don't have to vote Democratic. They just have to stay the fuck home on Election Day.
