    This is a great article, more than just bait for “You voted for leopards eating faces and now you’re surprised that a leopard ate your face” comments.

    There’s a great opportunity for Dems here, if they are willing to take it. Point out to the conservative little people that Trump’s friends are the rich and powerful and the little conservatives will get nothing and like it. Highlight that Trump is hurting farmers so he and his rich buddies can get a tax cut. Remind them that the GQP doesn’t care about people. It only exists to get stupid rich off of everyone’s labour.

      Probably not. Every time the leadership is presented with an opportunity, they choose to do the exact wrong thing.

        If they drop the ball on this extremely easy layup of a messaging task then we gotta really seriously figure out how to replace AT LEAST the Dem leadership

          The simpsons got it right decades ago with Dems: We’re incompetent and can’t govern Reps: We’re evil! But Seriously, the biggest problem the Dems have in 2025 is that they’re ANCHORED in establishment. Those in the lead now are not there because they’re capable, intelligent, or popular, but because they waited their turn. It’s a commitment to fairness and rules to the point of self sabotage. Tell Schumer and Pelosi to take a hike, put AOC, Booker, anyone else who has a plan and is committed to actually FUCKING DOING SOMETHING in charge, rather than telling them to play nice with the party and wait their turn behind the wheel when current leadership dies.

          they’re not going to take it because their goals overlap considerably w the republican’s goals.
