Compelling stuff! The Democratic Party seriously needs a rebrand if they want to take this on and replace this authoritarian style corruption and overreach with fully embodied Democracy. They need to recognize how they are a part of the problem when they conduct backdoor deals to enrich themselves off our corrupt lobbying system. They as a collective have done very little to curtail any of this adminstrations actions with business as usual maneuvers which are woefully insufficient to counteract GOP overreach and corruption. They also lack the spark of inspiration in everything they've done so far. The Democratic AGs of blue states have responded more robustly to this administration than the legislature. To me, the old guard of the DNC need to retire so we can build a movement that is capable of supplanting this administration as quickly as possible. The status quo of the old Democratic system is gone and needs to adapt to the new reality. This is an all hands on deck moment and all ideas should be welcome to make a better nation out of this adminstrations negligence.
I am not American. I do not live in America. My question would be where do they start?? The lobbying system, the senate, the electoral college, the cost of running for office, respect for international law and courts....I know you have to start somewhere. Democracy could be good, could help society, but I was delusional about where it worked and functioned. Good luck with it!
They need to meet people where they are! Feeling disenfranchised and angry. Many people don't have Healthcare, livable wages or a means of upward mobility. They need to center the voices of working class Americans into everything policy position they have. Neither party has done this for decades and that needs to change. They also need to highlight every single day how these EOs and tariffs are effecting real life people because the actions of this atrocious administration have real world consequences for real people in this nation and around the world. And their messaging, which is horrible, needs to compell as many people as possible to abandon our leadership who push to undermine everyone's rights.
Sounds good! I hope you are right and Trump will meet his downfall. I wonder about those that accept corruption, those that think the leader has to be lordlike, surrounded by gold and opulence while brandishing his arbitrarinec. My grandmother who was born under Alexander lll in the Russian Empire never assumed there was any fairness to the opulence and wealth of leaders. She would laugh and say they are in charge, that is why they have it all. I suspect that many who voted for Trump knew about his corruption but were OK with it because it sometimes involved stealling from the Government, which many Americans admire, or they saw it as part of his cleverness. I see many in America aspire to the arbitrary gains from the various fraudulent crypto schemes as a means to escape the dead end capitalist life. Trump is modeling that absurd dream for many. I do hope that Americans can see through it, though I am not as optimistic as you are. Thanks.
Some people are just awful, and others are gullible. The Trump supporters feel a sense of well being because he validates their anger. It is emotional manipulation on a mass scale. They also aspire to live like kings free from the shackles of their perceived oppression like Trump. To them freedom is never being held accountable just like our current leadership. He has never known any form of accountability his whole life so now he feels emboldened to disregard all the rules and enrich himself obscenely in the process.

First priority is removing these assholes from power. One thing at a time.
Victory of the democrats in Poland will be really helpful in the second round of elections soon.

Good point, but I think the people you’re thinking of make up a minority of the population—probably not more than 25-30%.

I feel bad that I ever laughed at Niyazov's Turkmenistan.
This is what Moscow and Beijing need -- USA kill itself.
But I will tell you: Moscow and Beijing thing that the USA has always been Trump-Theil. They are mistaken.
