69. Find Strong Leadership Wherever it May Be

Jan 24

I totally agree with the historical summary but want to focus on a winnable solution to elect/appoint/glorify anyone other than a MAGAt in political power.

The ballot box has become a gauntlet for opposition to MAGA. MAGAts know Democrats are using that as a remedy and are attacking voting rights nationwide—don’t fall for it.

Resist 24/7/365 is every capacity, top it off with a vote in November. In the meanwhile today and every day, meme, whisper, shout, organize, and proudly stand up for democracy and the Democratic Party who is the best hope for ridding the U.S. of MAGA terrorism.
