It got 100,000 signatures in its first 11 days. I know quite a few of people on the fediverse are fed up of seeing bot posts about violence against musk cars to distract people from the real problems, so do something that will make a change. But you'll also need to help others who feel the same and who aren't around here.

The first time around, there were millions of signatures on the petition so you'll need to help spread the word about the website. Tell your neighbourhood, your friends and family, work colleagues, and if you're out and hear people moaning, tell them about it.

Maybe someone can make a separate post to brainstorm ideas? The instance I'm currently on has very few political channels, so maybe you can re-post this elsewhere.

I think focusing on mid-terms is the path to success. This congress won’t remove him

[–] [email protected] 15 points 4 days ago (3 children)

Do we even have a chance during midterms?

I think it’s too early to tell but right now it’s not looking good. That said, most presidents and their party benefit from a honeymoon period which we are still in.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 days ago

That's waht worries me...I'm hoping we can at least get house majority....I'd sell my soul to fuck over the right rn lol

I think it's fair to say, the honeymoon has long since passed. Has any other president been pulled infront of judges so many times for their actions in such a short space of time?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 days ago

His approval rating only just went negative recently. I’m embarrassed to report that.

If this is the honeymoon, what the hell is the abusive marriage going to look like?

Too early to tell? Did we already miss the last one?? HOW MANY YEARS HAS IT BEEN SINCE TRUMP WAS ELECTED???

WHAT DO YOU MEAN "WEEKS"?!?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

For elections in two years? Yeah a lot can happen in that time. I didn’t mention weeks so I’m not sure what you mean by that.

It's a comment on how these past couple of months have felt like years

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

Oh I gotcha. Yeah, not prepared for another 1300ish days of this bullshit

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago

With how the voting machines were rigged this election, I fear our last semi fair election results are gone.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

The party in the White House generally loses the midterms, as Trump did last time. This time his behavior is even worse and more widely known. I'm betting on a solid blue ass kicking.

Will that matter? 🤷🏻‍♂️ I'm betting on the Democrats taking the House, maybe the Senate. Will they do jack shit? Not betting.

I sure hope you're right....I want Trump to get fucked.

"Will they do jack shit"

I feel that...as a democrat I'm ashamed they don't want to get their hands dirty and would rather play by the books. Sometimes you gotta play dirty...fight fire with fire.

Someone tell me how and when to vote. I've only voted in thr presidential elections

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Are you registered to a party? That may matter for primaries before the actual 2026 elections. If you’re not interested in voting in any primaries, or if your state has open primaries, you don’t need to worry about party affiliation.

You should check what elections are coming up for where you live. I think this is a decent resource

It raises public awareness significantly that other people feel the same. And who knows who Trump will piss off next, and his favors could quickly run out in congress.
