It is unrealistic to think Republicans who voted for our moron president are or will convert to being Democrats. Like me, who has always been an independent, most are more likely to become Independents who will vote Democratic if at all possible. Meaning the Democrats better be thinking long and hard about who the next leaders of the party will be.

Actually, Skip, I was a Republican for 45 years until trump rode down that escalator. I didn’t know anything about him, so I read up on him. He was not someone I could stomach to vote for, so I voted for Hillary and Democrats straight down ballot. I became a registered Democrat and have been one ever since. The Republican Party that I grew up with is long gone, replaced by this MAGA ideology, if you can call it that.

I hope you are aware that President Macron of France has accused Musk of election interference in various places internationally, and specifically in Germany. Though I do not make claims of election interference here in the USA, it would be consistent (and it would certainly make sense) that Musk interfered with election(s) here. However, given President Musk's stranglehold on the US government and his personal SS force of techies, I believe it would surprise no one that the possibility of uncovering such behavior would be very difficult.

You seem to understand cults and how they work. If you like to read try "The cult of Trump" by Steve Hassan. He was a moonie and he describes the inner workings of that cult and applies the principles of that to trumps cult. I listened to the audiobook. The book really goes behind the scenes of trumps first administration and his early life with Norman Vincent Peale where he learned how to brain wash and create alternate reality. Also Mary Trumps first book gives the background of the Trump family and how screwed up it was.

She told me that once they wanted to make a transkript of "his holy words", and they wonder what a completly mess it was. I asked why in the lecture she was so fasczinated. Her response "someone need to be able to understand the holy energy of this giant teacher to understand the signifcance of his holy words."

Landslide or not, doesn't matter. Trump and his thugs control the Presidency, both houses of Congress, and the Supreme Court. And we can agree to disagree on Biden: he should have been "ejected" -- your word, not mine -- no later than 2023 so there could have been an elected nominee rather than an appointed one. That would also have given the Blues a chance to weigh in on a VP. I think Walz being chosen is another reason Harris lost. Then there's that Biden disaster at the first debate. There were many other missteps made by the Dems, too many to go into here, but the main thing is the Dems ignored what many Americans thought was the most important issue -- the economy -- and tried to make it another Dem vs. Trump contest.

'How can one who is said to have been ordained from above,

be and do all the bad things people say about him?'...

The hypnotized minds who blindly follow and obey have opted out of

thinking other than repetitive and rudimentary thoughts, or

hearing other than the same ideas they've been hearing.

When a person listens to people, to ideas, to suggestions that are different from those they are used to hearing, their brain takes notice: 'Hmm, that's different.'

How it responds depends on their willingness to hear what is being said, before they do anything else. That takes time.

A week or so ago, there were a lot of posts talking about shoving the presidency down trump’s throat. This inflation thing is one of those that we should gag him with, because he IS responsible. Biden wasn’t a lunatic playing Chaos Monkey with all the possible economic levers. Trump is! Shove THAT down his throat!

I didn't save what the inflation rate was at the end of President Biden's term. If people have that number, that's what should be broadcast by former cabinet members. Get on network shows (including FOX) and start talking. Loudly.

It’s funny that even Americans are boycotting buying in America too. At this point it’s the whole world against Trump

And speaking of this...does anyone have a good site with a list of name brands that support Trump? I have found list of conglomerates that do but they own so much it is difficult to figure out in the grocery store which brands they own.

Amazing that he can sabotage so much so quickly. Question is how soon will Congress cease to support him, and how soon will the MAGA hordes turn on the man who is letting bird flu take their eggs away?

The Republican Congress and Senate will ALWAYS support him. They are afraid of him, afraid of loosing their jobs, have also heard stories of them also being threatened if they don't vote as directed.

Gabbard was just voted in today. Kennedy will be tomorrow. Only Gaetz wasn't, and that was probably because so many hated him. He made a lot of enemies in the house.

Fear is how we got here.

Fear is 'no-faith.'

Fear fails.

Faith with action fuels.

What I find interesting is that every single dictator, when they achieve full power-pretty much immediately-and permanently-gets rid of their enablers. I keep seeing all these kneeling republicans facing a firing squad…

That’s a level of stupidity I just can’t grasp. How can they NOT see the end game? Dictators don’t need a congress or senate -or Supreme Court, for that matter.

Their private militia will work just fine, thanks…🤔

If he truly got a business degree from Wharton, he was supposed to have taken (at least) a business economics class. Query whether he had other people taking his classes for him.

Money-wise now it finally works for him. See Robert Reich on his cryptocurrency scheme. One would imagine that the stock market rigging by the now-you-see-them-now-they're-gone tariffs is not bad for pocket lining either

Hey Ben - I have no idea if you read these - IF you do so. Please pay attention to your delivery. You are sounding like MSNBC morning talking heads. That is NOT a good thing. Please please be bigger than that. Give us facts. Show us pie charts; whatever works to get the information across. But don’t do the fear mongering that the right is using. NO more cable news crap. Talk to us. Educate us. But, don’t subject us to diatribes. Please 🙏🏼.

While I completely agree with his energy, I think you’re right. We need others to find their way to the light and posts with this kind of delivery will push them away. It would be better to be direct with facts. Being as unbiased as possible is important so that others can feel safe to alter their views. We need everyone to be educated and come together. I hate trump and I’m terrified. But magas are not going to come to posts like this and change their minds.. it’ll only divide us more.

Ben is growing this channel bigger than Fox. What he is doing is about as effective as you can be. This channel is reaching a lot of people who are not a part of the "choir". I can't hardly believe people think this is not effective. Trump is literally doing everything he can to shut it down. Same with Fox who doesn't want competition for their propaganda. Ben is speaking truth to power. What's not to like!!

I disagree, you may have not have liked the way it was delivered but he presented many facts. At least Ben doesn't lie like Fox does.

Yes but it is clearly biased. We will not get through to anyone and nothing will change unless it’s factual and to the point. Not left leaning. It’s not about Fox News.. or sides. The whole point is to break down the barriers and come together to save our country. They are in a cult. The psychological confusion that comes with being pulled into something like that is incredibly damaging.

Yes, but Fox is biased and look how much more effective that is. Fox just keeps pounding their bias and lies and it eventually converts people to believing them! Democrats give facts and pie charts and everybody tunes that out! Ben gets a lot of death threats so I can understand his passion.

From some research I’ve done on cults- feeling part of a COMMUNITY is why average people join and don’t leave. I love that you’re bringing this up- I think at least trying to offer an alternative community is a great idea. Don’t know if it’ll work- but I love the idea and think we should try. 💕

I agree with you on this. I appreciate the commitment and passion and will support Meidas to the end, but I am scared enough just on my own accord. I would actually like to see us offer support to the Maga's who are finally realizing what a disaster Trump is for them. There are some right?
