It starts with us. Empower our blue reps and warn the red. Make them fear us. Write, call, pressure.

If you're a dem and live in red district or state, CALL.

Subtly send hints to any MAGA buddies and family to do the same. "Hey, I thought t**** wasn't going to touch Social Security," etc.

"I'm calling so-and-so."

"This is OUR Medicare"

If you're a dem in a blue district, CALL. Politicians actually do talk to each other when not kissing MAGA ass and pandering to their moron supporters. Word gets around.

MAGA and repuke reps -- congressional and senate -- need to fear us voting them out of office more than you-know-who.
