    In exchange for Trump withdrawing the tariffs, Canada and Mexico have agreed to increase troop presence at the borders to fight illegal immigration. It's a small consolation but some are already saying that's what Trump had in mind all along. Yes they actually believe that horse shit.

    Republicans have such short memories, don't they? Here's Reagan on Free Trade, 180 degrees from Trump. How's everyone doing with that trickle you've been getting last 40 years?

    Where are all the patriots that wanted to uphold the Constitution? Where are they while all our rights are being stripped away? They wanted to protect the 2nd amendment so that they could protect our country and Constitution, right? Why are they all just letting trump and Elon break the law and disregard everything they hold dear? They already know he lied about everything he campaigned on, why aren't they pissed off and fighting back? Where is the outrage that Trump sold our country to the highest bidder? Why are you not upset that elon, who was never elected, and his minions have access to 6 trillion dollars of taxpayer money, everyone's social security numbers, and tons of confidential, sensitive and top secret information ?

    Every day, I dread finding out what new atrocities have befallen us. Every day, I wonder if more of my rights are gone. Every day, I think about how long it will be before food is too expensive to feed my family. Every day, I have to worry about the safety of my lgbtq+ child. Every day, I have to wonder if I should finalize my divorce as soon as possible or stay married so that if they take my rights to own property, at least my husband would get ownership of my land and the money in my bank accounts. Every day, I have to worry that some "your body, my choice" asshole might rape someone I care about and they might be forced to give birth to their rapist's baby. The list goes on and on....

    At least in trumps first term, my biggest worry was if he would start a nuclear war with North Korea, now those concerns are almost looked at with nostalgia.

    The racists patriots are ecstatic that brown people are being deported.

    That's all that matters because immigrants are Scapegoat #1.

    Trans are Scapegoat #2.

    Will you be Scapegoat #3?

    The "patriots" have never read the Constitution and wouldn't understand it if they did.
    The only rights they believe in is the right for them to do anything they want, others be damned.
    They uphold what little they know of the 2nd so that they can shoot any governmental agent they don't like.
    They worship Trump and Elon because they are rich and can do anything they want.
    Lies are only lies to them if they disagree with them.

    They aren't upset because they don't like our government and they don't like the Constitution when it rules against them.
    They want the government to be destroyed and they want Trump and Elon to destroy it.
    They are essentially anarchists, not patriots.

    Trump is not an anarchist, and neither are his supplicants MOST anarchists are reasonably intelligent

    Don't you see? In Trump's mind he isn't just above the law, he is the law!

    Don't you see that I am trying to implore Republicans to stop supporting him? To finally wake up to who he really is. I am fully aware that some may never turn on him, that some are only interested in how much damage and pain he can inflict on those they see as "other" be it because of race, religion, sexual orientation, etc... but there are people who voted for him because they actually believed he was going to make their lives better, some apparently didn't realize how much our country depends on immigrants to keep everything running, some didn't realize that he lied when he said he had nothing to do with project 2025, that their rights might be next. Was it right for them to not do any independent research, fact checking, or be even the slightest bit open minded when being told by people that they weren't going to get what they wanted? No, but what's done is done and unless you have a time machine, it can't be undone, so we need to move forward in this new reality and try to make allies out of enemies, band together, fight for our country with as many people as we can get on board with that notion, even those that made mistakes and helped create this mess. Your hate is no better than their hate, no matter how justified it seems. We need to be the United States of America again, emphasis on united. Like it or not, we are all in this together and we all have to fight back against tyranny and the usurpation of our country by unelected billionaires and their minions.

    I never said I hated anyone.
    My point is that those who voted for Trump are at a limited level of consciousness. They are driven by emotions, not facts, logic, or science.
    They perceive their selves to be separate from the rest of the world and only respond to things that directly affect them. They have little empathy for others and have little comprehension of cause and effect.
    They feel everyone is out to get them (the government in particular) and thus have no tolerance for other views or lifestyles, as they see them as direct assaults on their own lives.

    There can be no banding together with them until they outgrow their emotional handicaps and develop empathy for all human beings, or they turn their emotional wrath back toward Trump and his policies; if they ever finally find out they've been had.

    Nothing will change until the Republicans begin turning on each other.
