34. "They have THE POWER WE GAVE THEM!"

Thu Feb 20, 2025, 08:55 PM

Which is none. We gave them no power.

Hillary and the rest of us told everyone that the Supreme Court for generations was on the line in 2016 -- and they didn't listen.

Kamala and the rest of us told everyone that Trump would bring fascism to our country and implement Project 2025 -- and they didn't listen.

Voters gave the Democrats no power, so don't blame Democrats now for all the bad shit coming to pass that Republicans are doing and we all warned everyone about.

We don't have the Presidency.
We don't have the Courts.
We don't have the House.
And Republicans can pass most of their fiscal wishes with a simple majority in the Senate due to reconciliation.
