I’m going to say something that shouldn’t be controversial but will be. If you are a Christian, you can support border control and immigration being legal vs illegal. You CANNOT celebrate deportations and get off on the cruelty, and be a real Christ follower. Period

A 90 year old Holocaust survivor confronted Trump's ICE director. I believe the speech is from 2017 but is still very relevant.

SALUTE TO HIM!!!

BREAKING: Remember this video of a Democratic woman being was dragged out of a Republican Townhall in Idaho? Remember how MAGA claimed that the security officers acted appropriately?

They were ALL just charged.

Here are their Names/Charges.

- Paul Trouette – Battery, false imprisonment, security agent uniform violation, security agent dut…

The head of our country’s government is in the early stages of consolidating total power. We must of course reject this, but that is not enough. We have to respond by creating a different and better kind of American politics than we have seen before.

Everyone wants to focus on the strategy. The messaging failures. The tactical faceplants. None of it matters. Not really. Because the problem isn’t the strategy.

The problem is the audience.

You can mock the White House’s response, call it a clown car, call it a panic spiral, call it what it is: A panicked, unraveling cover-up from a regime so convinced of its own impunity it can’t even lie coherently anymore. But the deeper rot? The thing no one in the Beltway wants to say out loud?

It’s working.

While the capitulation of tens of millions of deluded MAGA Americans has gotten us here, it is the uninformed millions who will bring us back. The goal for all of us who want to stop Trump should be to make ourselves seen and heard, to scream from every rooftop, until there is no corner of America that is ignorant to the crimes being perpetrated upon us by this band of fools.

If screaming is what you want to do, go at it. Scream your lungs out, but don’t expect it to change much.

The truth is, these people want the lie. They’ve chosen it. They wear it like armor. They need it to be true—because if it’s not, if Trump is what he so obviously is, then everything they stood for, everything they voted for, everything they cheered becomes indefensible.

They’d rather torch the country than face that.

You’re right that the uninformed still matter. You’re right that we need to reach them. But yelling at a machine that runs on delusion won’t bring it down. It just feeds the noise.

So if screaming helps you stay sane, do it. But know who you're screaming for.

And know what it won’t fix.
