  1. I mean it undoubtedly does. Trump is going to extraordinary lengths to consolidate power and has a loyal army of politicians backing him. This is not what a democratic leader does in his first two weeks of office. Can you imagine several weeks from now? USAID is going to look like peanuts if congress keeps turning their backs to the law.

    We may not even need a US version or the Enablement Act — the DoJ and Supreme Court can just ignore the law or bend it to Trump’s will.

  3. Democrat voters know we are not in a good place, but this is what republicans and swing voters wanted. The same can be said about those who sat out. Glad Palestine is saved and egg prices are down.

  5. No shit! So what does she plan to DO??

    Anyone?

    Anyone at fucking all?????

  6. Nobody cares. If they did he wouldn’t have gotten back in. Buttery males, the middle east, and people that don’t care.

  7. Who would have thought it was best not to relentless attack and blame the Democratic candidate running for a flare up of problem in the middle east that has gone on for more than half a century. I mean could anyone see this coming if you helped the party with the same law abiding candidate lose the election?

  8. What happens when democrats lose congress an well.

    Not a lot they can do.

  9. At this point honestly I think everyone knows, including republicans but they don’t really mind having one of their own in power indefinitely until it affects them obviously.

  10. Maybe she should have worked harder to get Harris elected.

  12. The hard truth is that despite all the talk in school and grandstanding about the constitution, the flag and the founding fathers, many people love fascism, bigotry and dictatorship and the rest don’t care enough about democracy to try to save it, content to let it die as long as they’re not personally affected.

    The only people who mostly fought to save this country are black people, 80% of black men and 90% of black women answered the call to save this nation and democracy from tyranny. a majority of college educatcted people answered the call too.

    But these two groups are dwarfed by the ignorant, non-college educated people of both sexes who mostly voted for fascism or who didn’t know or care enough to make a stand.

    Americans who fought against or didn’t fight for their nation in it’s hour of need should be absolutely ashamed of themselves. if the founders were alive they will spit in your faces and treat you with the disgust and contempt you deserve. They would tear down mount rushmore itself and take the original constitution with them.

    edit: 84% of LGBTQ people fought to save this country as well

  13. They are moving quickly and forcefully to establish a dictatorship and I don’t dee anything close to an urgent forceful response.

  14. Historical note: Hitler staged a failed coup, was arrested, imprisoned, released and then was elected to become Germany’s dictator.

    This parallel isn’t perfect since trump was never imprisoned.

  16. Well when you make Palestine your biggest wedge issue and act like both sides are the same, you have some culpability in the result, Ilhan.

  17. Maybe she should do something about that then. I remember her strong tone of her voice when it was for other issues, why not for this?

    I am sorry only AOC is voicing up from day one. Rest are sitting around twiddling thumbs.?

  18. Sorry, but I don’t really care what the “uncommitted” movement has to say about any of this. They knew project 2025 and full on authoritarianism/fascism was the plan and they wanted to play games anyways. Both sides are not and will never be the same and I am so beyond frustrated that anyone tried to put forth that mind rot into the zeitgeist in the first place. The only thing that kind of rhetoric accomplished was convincing people to hold their vote when it mattered the most.

  19. God I’m sick of individual democrats issuing “harsh warnings”. Get together as a party and do some shit.
    “We’re taking the gloves off.”
    “It’s a street fight”.
    Fuck your idioms and phrases. Everyday, Donald Plump and fElon Musk move at a blinding speed to do whatever the fuck they want, and it’s catching fire fast. If they won’t play by our country’s rules, then the Dems shouldn’t either. Shake it up and fucking do something. For yourselves, for us, for our country. Save it, please!

  20. Didn’t she support uncommitted and stay at home and don’t vote this election cycle? Maybe having a big picture view would have been better.

  21. Well her staff should clear her voicemail so her constituents can contact her

  23. We lost the election because in the months leading up to the election democrats were screaming in the streets about how much they hate America and calling our own candidates murderers because everyone was getting their history lessons on TikTok from China and Russia. Fuck her and her stark warnings.

  24. So fucking do something about it other than another milquetoast presser.

    Reminder that Ilhan was one of those Democrat leaders stirring the pot against “Genocide Joe” Biden, so we have her to partially thank for all of this.

  26. Probably didn’t help that she helped pushed people right as a reaction to her politics

  28. She wasn’t as bad as Tlaib (I wish literally anyone had primaried her, but no one tried), but jesus christ Omar you know for a fact your worthless rhetoric contributed to Trump’s reelection. Maybe spend election years focusing on **not** letting the country completely fall to fascism, huh? Imbecile.

  29. A certain Presidential candidate who you spent all year bashing said this word-for-word all year.

  30. He’s already broken multiple laws and doesn’t care. He’s there already.

  31. His supporters are far to uneducated to know what this is

  32. Might have been useful if she said this before the election instead of attacking Harris.

  33. These are the people who carried out Musks plan.

    Akash Bobba, Edward Coristine, Luke Farritor, Gautier Cole Killian, Gavin Kliger, and Ethan Shaotran.

    Making sure to add these names to every post about musk. You should do the same.

  35. Oh you don’t say…maybe she could have campaigned a bit harder for Kamala…
