Rachel Maddow: Trump win 'gives us a really big to-do list' to defend democracy - Rachel Maddow - MSNBC



Rachel Maddow speaks to Americans who do not want to surrender democracy to Donald Trump's authoritarian management and points out that since it did not work to defend democracy with the election, it is time to turn to a new set of tools and tasks to preserve the system of government used in the United State of America since its inception. - Aired on 11/06/2024.

You've spent the past years telling us week after week that our Democracy was on the line. Don't walk it back and act like there is ANYTHING that can be done at this point.

It will take 1-2 generations minimum to even have a shot at fixing the damage.

And I'm done with you and your MSNBC cohorts. Go write another book.

If you are comfortable with that, it's your choice. I prefer what Kamala said in her concession speech today, that she concedes the vote win, but will not concede the values that she fought for in her campaign and will continue to fight for.

Roll over and play dead is a cute dog trick. It earns them treats and affectionate hugs from their humans. But when human beings roll over and play dead for other human beings, there are no treats and no hugs. They just get trampled on.

I just watched it on You Tube. On that version, Rachel gets specific about what people can do and how to resist the authoritarianism. She says that the MAGA regime will start pushing soon to see how much they can get away with. It is up to us to push back and not give in.

Apparently these are recorded by someone foreign who has no idea that Rachel is no longer on every day, plus they are deleted by the next day, likely by MSNBC. And if you check out the rest of their videos, they are in a language that I can't identify:
