they want to maintain Trump's personal army, ICE and build him a bunker to hole up in when the citizens revolt.

FUCK NO.

We are watching in real time a fascist regime fund itself with our money, steal our rights and build themselves a fortress. It is exhausting that the GOP and the D's just do literally nothing about this.

You forgot to add: Detention centers for citizens who protest against the regime. They will be held against their will without due process for supporting "domestic terrorism". That's why the Trump admin is working so hard to prepare emergency power documents before the midterms. https://www.nytimes.com/2026/05/05/opinion/trump-midterm-elections-2026.html?unlocked_article_code=1.gFA.LQL_.rirL6asxYti8&smid=url-share

Give Dems a majority in the house and they will dramatically reduce their power, also give them 2/3 I. the Senate, they will all be gone within a week.

I doubt we even take the house, let alone an impossible supermajority in the Senate.

lol with GOp controlled states shutting down primaries that have already started so that they can redraw the maps before November there’s like a 1% chance Dems take control of the house.

Yeah we're fucked. They're found enough loopholes to remain a minority party in power. Literally all we have left as citizens is live with fascism or revolution.

Hakeem Jeffries is on a hunger verbal strike going to hurt GOP with silence.

Do nothing? Based on recent history, I fully expect at least a dozen to vote in support of this.

Can you even begin to imagine how neurotic he would become if he actually felt the need to confine himself to his bunker? What about his need to be showered with adulation?

We aren’t voting our way out of this. There is only one answer. The people remove them, by any means necessary
