š½Together, we can champion our rights, freedoms, rule of law, democracy, hold our leaders accountable to the people's will, and inspire voters to make a meaningful difference.
I hate to be negativeā¦but Iām getting tired of the marches protesting, signing letters, petitions, writing messages and posting, reposting, talking with people about current state of our country, our democracy, our government, too many injustices too many abuses, too many scandals, too much abuse of power , not respect for our CONSTITUTION, too much disruption of government agencies and we get no results except for Lawsuits that will take forever to resolve and in the meantime Trump MAGA madness keeps on going and destroying whatever is in their way they dislike or disagreeš” i canāt take it!
WE THE PEOPLE HAVE TO do more. Our actions have to have results! We need to march in the millions or billions and disrupt our highways in a way that commerce and our most important ports will be disrupted and not for one day but many. We need good logistics and plan the best protest ever ! š If WE paralice the country WE will get the orange maga mad president to resign šš HE WILL have not other options ššššwhat we do will have great consequences or it wonāt work!
WE THE PEOPLE of the DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF THE USA šŗšø we have the power not the politicians š
Carmen, I completely understandāmany of us are exhausted. And you're right to feel that way. The truth is, we havenāt yet built the collective power needed to dismantle the hatred, lies, and bigotry weāre seeing from some leaders across all three branches of government.
To truly shift the tide, we need to both inspire and mobilizeānot just voters, but also resistors. Iāve written before about the 3.5 percent ruleāthe idea that when just 3.5% of the population moves in the same direction, it can create real, lasting change. But in our recent mobilizations, weāve only had a quarter of that. And when it comes to voter mobilization, weāre facing serious roadblocks: Democrats are caught up in procedural fights, and many c3 and c4 groups are struggling just to stay afloat while pushing back against escalating threatsāincluding being labeled as āenemies of the stateā by the Trump administration.
Of course I want to see all of us in the streets, keeping pressure on and fighting to stop the dismantling of our democracy. But right now, we simply donāt have the numbers.
So what do we do in the meantime? We keep building. We grow our ranks. And we do that through every action that brings people ināwriting letters, signing petitions, spreading the word, and lifting up messages of resistance. It might not feel like enough today, but itās how we get to tomorrow.
I canāt thank you enough for your words of wisdom and encouragement šš¼ You are right! I will keep on my own little fight from here!
I want you to know that you are the best of all in this online world. I repost your posts a lot.
Thanks again for contacting me.
