4. It is a disgrace, as are those lawyers bending the knee to an authoritarian who is in the WH. Talk is cheap, it is

actions that count, and so far it has been pretty dismal.

Performers are still performing at the Kennedy Center after trump's takeover of it. ABC and other news outlets have no problem capitulating before blatant governmental abuses. Too many companies had no problem dropping their DEI programs at the "command" of the dictator in the WH.

There are so many examples of abuses and violations of civil rights, and so many examples of companies, organizations, universities etc. not willing to push back.

The supposed outrage against Schumer and the Democrats in the Senate who refused to vote against cloture, but where were they in 2024 protesting and pushing back against trump and the republicans? It didn't occur on any scale against the republicans like it did against the Democrats in 2024, and where was the illustrious media?

Worse, instead of unifying to fight what we are up against, we are too busy fighting among ourselves, which is exactly what those in power want, and how they plan to control us.
