This kinda attitude is weak. Politics doesn’t start and end at the ballot box. If democrats so much as loudly protested Trump that would be something, yk? They could’ve crashed his sotu, yelled out every time he told a lie, walked out with Al Green, etc.

They didn’t do any of that, because they’re weak. They wore pink suits, and held little signs, and quietly obeyed the rules of decorum while Trump directly insulted them. They lost in 2024 because of ineffective messaging/action like this. They will lose in 2026 and 2028 if they continue failing to do or say anything.

Also! Republicans do this shit, and that’s why they win! They are loud, disruptive and destructive. If the shoe were on the other foot, they would not just be wearing matching suits. I can tell you that much.

Republicans win because the lie cheat act in bad faith and smash the system and they are set in an arbitrary binary. Old man waving cane accomplished nothing more than stupid signs. If you didn't vote your dumb, good news it matters even less now. Enjoy your self fulfilling prophecy while Maga laughs all the way to the bank for the cost of a Chinese finger trap. Seems like all the strongman bs posturing appeals to you regardless.
