(22,264 posts)in a long campaign that will stretch to the 2028 election. There will be more creativity to come. Newsom gets it. More Dems need to get it too or get out of the damn way.
Maybe it's me, but it feels like a political vacuum has formed. Certainly the cult will never leave Trump, even after he expires, but as the 2024 RepPedo primaries showed us, they're not nearly as big as they sound. A majority of the Republican Party but not overwhelmingly.
Recent approval polls are showing a gigantic number of Americans, across the political spectrum, are most certainly NOT happy about where we are and are looking for leadership and a way out of this morass. At the same time, they're not particularly happy with Democratic politics as usual. Perhaps Newsom and crew, along with other Dems, feel this too and are stepping in. We might have a unique opportunity here. Feels like Schlesinger Jr and Sr's political Cyclical Theory. A number of reasons why the pendulum swings. One being a political group goes too far and there's a massive backlash. We're certainly seeing that play out.

I do get the feeling a lot of Americans are simply tired of the RepPedos and their bullshit. The 2024 election being a high water mark. Last week, Nancy Mace wanted to give a speech at a Mom's for Liberty "event" at some SC Baptist church. They expected over a hundred people. 8 showed up. Mace canceled her speech. Guess her campaign for SC governor isn't getting off to a rousing start.

(4,413 posts)trouble getting enough ICE agents to meet Miller's quotas. He said that ICE agents only work for ICE to get relief from their student loans and for the hiring bonus but that when those have been accomplished they quit. His comments align with the thought I had the other day about HL not having enough ICE agents. I read an article that said Homeland was going to start empowering fed employees with ICE duties and powers.

And there are others who just need a job, like Mr Mackie. I doubt the two type mix very well. However, unfortunately, it is likely the chain of command is almost entirely sociopaths.
Bluetus
(2,861 posts)but this is a very effective starting point. It is actually more about the media than it is about Trump. Each of these posts trolls how the outrageous and childish Trump is, yet the MSM has treated it as it all this is normal.
One hopes that this trolling gives the major media the cover they need to push back on Trump with, "Gavin Newsom has been calling attention to the fact that you _________________________ ." Hopefully, some of them will use that as the motivation to start asking real questions and reporting this corruption and destruction for what it is.

(93,650 posts)What they need is people that understand and are familiar with the new media .
Politicians usually won't have time for all of that becsuse it really is a waste of time but people familiar with it will know what is being said and how and where to respond.
Liberals were good with using the new tech and social media as long as we stuck to truth and facts but never got around how to deal with the bs from the right that quickly spread. It's not just about responding with facts but rather getting attention and taking control. Usually actual policy isn't even involved.
