1. Get involved with the aclu...many are already signing up to volunteer. They know the laws and I keep trying to tell people this.
The federal government actually got weakned over the past administrations and we need to use that to our advantage.
Annnd yes I know there are a bunch of people that will say he will just ignore that blah blah blah.... we all know how he's going to try to work. But fight anyways. Exectutive orders are extremely weak right now. Biden couldn't get shit done through exexecutive orders. Not even with some executive orders involving executive responsibilities. Schedule f should be immediately changed he if he tries it.
2. pressure campaigns for vulnerable Republicans. The House is extremely thin and they rarely get anything done without democrats help.
3. Fundraise ! we need to be fundraising now!!! for everything they are probably going to successfully cut. We have celebrities, actual liberal bllionaires, a blue states. We can work together create funds and save the Things he's going to try to cut.
Side note...We do need to remember that most things he claims he wants to do and /or the stuff in project 2025. Simply isn't a presidential or executive ability. 99% of that stuff requires changing the constitution or passing the senate which they don't have the filibuster breaking votes. And again Republicans got executive orders weakened.
4. Support independent journalism that are telling the truth and creating networks that will spread the truth.
5. Expose everything ... things will eventually break through. Not all the time but with midterms. It matters. Every broken promise we need to bombarded to the people he will hurt the most. Especially with the middle east community. He's going to fully kill the Palestinians and they need to fully get this information. This will happen alot. We need to work hard everytime to get this out.
6. Still support the fucking queer community. I know most of yall will. But just want to say I'm getting very tired of the rhetoric that tratrans people had something to do with these losses. That shit was nowhere near voters minds as their top topics. The whole world has incumbents getting hit. No matter where they are on the political spectrum. And down ballot candidates did better. If certain people can't defend the queer community they need to move out the way for candidates who definitely know how in a way that connects. I have no idea why the democrats couldn't just come out and say the republicans care more about children's genitals than funding schools.
7. Call, email, and spam as hard as possible dem senators and put pressure on them to vote on as many judges as possible. especially the circuit Court judges. Mcconnell would never let this many judges sit and go unvoted on. O e judge per day since the election and they came back from recess...that's insane !!! We have time. They need to change the rules, extend working hours and fucking vote. We also should pressure them to codify in the senate rules the blue slip and filibuster. With more votes than the Republicans have to reverse it.
Id rather deal with a filibuster and moderate judges than it be a tradition and they get rid of it and all helll breaks lose. Plus moderate judges even Republican ones Often but not always stand up to trump's more insane policies. Go by McConnell rules and get it done.
8. Lastly but not the last option. This is just the things that popped in my head. Support good candidates!!!!. The boring have to go and we need as many Gallegos, Shapiros, and Whitmires as possible. The dems have the most insane strategy for picking candidates that makes no sense. But the last time Trump was in office we created absolute stars. Beshear, Whitmire, Sinema (good for a bit), kelly in Kansas, etc. And we have to do it again.
Elections in Virginia and New Jersey and a bunch of city mayors are just next year.
And if some want to circle jerk in sadness go ahead yall do that. I want to do something and get to work. We fought this mother fucker before and we will this time. I'm not trying to embarrass my ancestors and give up because I'm sad. Get creative, spspread the word, and fucking fight !!!!!
Sorry for any mistakes. I'm getting fired up just typing.
