    Mr “take the guns first, deal with due process later” doesn’t care about gun rights? Really?!

    As others have said, he never cared about them. And the signs were there to see. But too many people chose to ignore those signs out of convenience.

      Mostly sooner. I can’t believe people think they will be the lucky one that doesn’t get shafted, but hope springs eternal and all that?!

    He doesn’t care who he makes an enemy of anymore.

    He’s accountable to nobody.

    Let’s stop pretending these stories of people “turning on Trump” mean ANYTHING for actual policy or activity going forward.

    The first time anything MIGHT have any impact is after the midterm elections, and that comes with such a laundry list of qualifications…

    It will require people willing to stop Trump to win those elections, but that’s just step ONE, and that’s the EASY step. Next, it will require democrats to be willing to grow a pair and stand for at LEAST one principle, it will require the executive branch to not simply IGNORE any directives or legislation (which they are ALREADY doing - talk to me when the Epstein files are released as required by law), and it will require the Supreme Court to not invent batshit reasons to neuter congressional power.

    We are not at a turning point. Things will not get better until they get far, far worse.
