Attention Democrats – Its time to show some resistance

An appropriate level of introspection and self-critique can be beneficial, but we seem to have taken it to the extreme when it comes to analyzing the 2024 election results. Despite the dramatic headlines declaring a GOP landslide victory or the impending collapse of the Democratic Party, let’s not forget that the race was actually quite close. Donald Trump managed to secure 49.9 percent of the popular vote, just edging out Kamala Harris with her 48.4 percent. Wow, what a nail-biter! It’s almost as close as the margin in the 1960 election.

Trump winning the election didn’t magically transform him into a beacon of normalcy or a champion of democratic values. But hey, who needs rational thinking when we can just sit back and watch the show? Democrats are too busy playing nice with the Republicans, hesitating to criticize Trump’s questionable cabinet picks and focusing on finding common ground rather than standing up for their beliefs. How refreshing.

Forget about the election, let’s talk about Elon Musk, the wannabe co-president. He’s not content with just threatening Republicans who dare to defy Trump – now he’s cozying up to fascist-adjacent leaders overseas. Maybe he’s feeling a bit power-hungry as inauguration day approaches. 

Attention, Democrats! It seems you have forgotten that you are now the minority. Take a page out of the Republican playbook from when they were in the same position – FIGHT! Stand up against Trump’s assaults on free speech, democracy, and basic common sense. Let’s see some backbone and push back against these outrageous attacks. Time to show some resistance and make some noise!
