Great synopsis of current politics. We've suffered in Indiana under all these suppressive tactics. Thanks for sharing the spotlight with your information and voice. Keep up the good trouble!
Republicans cheat and rig and manipulate because they have to. They couldn't win any other way. They can't acknowledge that their policies are horrible the economics are dangerous they blatantly help the wealthy and big business. The politicians they offer up are either corrupt greedy war mongers or feckless. I could provide a list from history or just the last 60 or so years all have been rotten all have done heinous deeds.Then a democrat comes in and cleans it up. The Democrats are not perfect or saints but given the alternative I mean.....If an independent party could achieve some dominance and offer a strong viable candidate (such as Nader) I would totally be on board.
Trump is setting it up so that he or his family or another ghoul (JD Vance, Rubio) like them will likely be in power for decades to come. We can only try to completely overwhelm at the ballot box if elections are even held...I sadly have my doubts.
I saw this coming. When a good friend called to tell me she had joined the Tea party movement and was hosting women's meetings in her living room, I knew our democracy was in trouble. I knew the movement was gaining steam. This was a person who was kind. She gave me no reason to believe she was racist in anyway. Her family was just struggling to make ends meet. She was a stay at homemom. Her husband a truck driver. She was Christian but not a fanatic. I could tell she felt the Democratic party had deserted low income whites but as I said she never struck me as racist. I think with LGBTQ rights, women's pro-choice movement. Better choices for African Americans. All the things that needed to be done, low income white Americans felt ignored and underserved. I think thats what led us here. True or not, thats what they believed and many still do. I personally don't. Trump is obviously lied to them and Republicans have taken advantage of them. Democrats need to speak to them also this election. You can argue they have been but unfortunately I don't think its getting through. Its clouded by all the so called "woke" message.
Unfortunately evil appears to be a winning combination as they now hold ALL the levers of power. What is more shocking, the Catholic dominated Supreme Court (6-3) is making Trump into a Pope. Bible warns of false prophets.
In the Bible, false prophets are individuals who falsely claim to speak for God, often leading people astray with deceptive messages and harmful teachings. They can be identified by their actions, their teachings, and their character, which often contradict the true nature and will of God.
The right wing has been patient. They have been focused on the long game. The Dem Party has .been caught with their pants down, trying to be nice. This is the results. It's time for the angry voters to take back their country and hold both political parties accountable for their (in)actions. Count me in. (I'm an Indie from Tucson.)
Yes, but more dangerous than that. T and Hegshed firing all the female leaders in the military. Then all the head military lawyers who could defend them. Not sure how much more proof is needed that their agenda is white male only. What ever happened to civil rights?
In the county I live in in South Carolina there was only one Democrat besides Kamala Harris on the ballot. Of course, all the Republicans won. They all ran unopposed. I'm going to pay much more attention in the future.
I really enjoy your program. I was thinking about voting rights today because I believe yesterday was the 60th anniversary of the Voting Rights Act, signed into law by LBJ. Watching the video of him doing so and hearing the words he spoke - words of inclusion and basic human kindness and decency - makes me cringe even more at the stupid and divisive words of Trump and his sycophants. It is disgusting to me how he and the rest of his Republican toadies want to continue in their efforts to disenfranchise our black brothers and sisters. If they can be stopped, they must be stopped. And very soon!
Thanks for producing a written format. Unlike most people today, I can process the written word better than a spoken video or podcast format. You're smart to diversify your message output.
David, you articulate today's state of affairs so well.

Hi everyone! ☀️ Fantastic synopsis David! This version of america really really sucks
Your transcript today was the most concise rendering I've ever heard...keep up the fight for greater accountability!
Republicans cheat and rig and manipulate because they have to. They couldn't win any other way. They can't acknowledge that their policies are horrible the economics are dangerous they blatantly help the wealthy and big business. The politicians they offer up are either corrupt greedy war mongers or feckless. I could provide a list from history or just the last 60 or so years all have been rotten all have done heinous deeds.Then a democrat comes in and cleans it up. The Democrats are not perfect or saints but given the alternative I mean.....If an independent party could achieve some dominance and offer a strong viable candidate (such as Nader) I would totally be on board.

Never give up! 2026 midterms need Democrat victories!
now is the time never let up.
You are correct not very many people are going to be able to admit that they were manipulated and duped
The only thing that will change their situation with truth
Is allowing them
Denial
Anger
Bargain
Depression
Then and only then will there be
Acceptance of the Truth
DJT a convicted felon
His CFO has been sentenced for the fraud and corruption
multiple lawyers have been indicted
And disbarred
Our job is fan the flames
Piss MAGA off
confrontation and embarrassment
“It’s not that bad
“Give him a two more weeks “
Please
Piss off the next MAGA you meet
Great information. Thanks David

including their efforts to with the supreme court. it was a long range plan
Why do Repubelikkkans need to be deceitful and cheet to think they'll win? Low self esteem.

White grievance politics= playground bullying and adolescent gangs

And encourage good people to challenge the good old boys on the ballots!!!
Unfortunately not enough "good" people around.
We have become a nation of sheep that has allowed the wolves to plunder.
