It's on us to fight this shit. Get angry and stay that way. Go on Twitter and other platforms to directly challenge this assertion. Give them not a single inch without having to fight for it.

Don't go on Twitter... that actively funds musk.

Go everywhere but Twitter.

Do keep calling it Twitter though.

Isnt there better things to go fight about? Biden getting cred for a deal in the middle east is really the last thing on my mind.

We should be breaking ties with the democrats entirely. They have sold us to the wolves and for 8 years now shown they cannot deliver a decisive win against the rise of authoritarianism.

We must not give them an inch wherever and whenever we can. Fight back with clear communication and facts. Challenge constantly. Party doesn't matter. Remember that many people who voted for Trump did so legitimately not understanding what it would mean. Time to educate because people will start wanting to listen

We should strike, trump going to want to claim credit for the economy biden built. We should strike and tear it all down immediately so he actually has to build a working one rather than slowly dismantling it.

Amazing! Every word ~~that you just said~~ in your last two sentances was wrong!

They did so because they want to hurt people. People will get hurt.

Educate them? If they could be educated, they wouldnt be republican.

What do you think the democrats were doing over the last 8 years? Twiddling their thumbs? They have been trying to educate people. Nonstop. But it doesnt help because these people do not want to be educated. They want to be shepherded around by a strong man who can make the "right" decisions for them. They want Trump to take control. There is no deeper thought, no platform, no ideology. They arent seeking to gain anything from his presidency. His presidency is not going to convert any trumpers because hes doing exactly what they wanted him to do: hurt people.

Not all who voted for him voted FOR Trump. I agree that MAGA is likely never going to be convinced. The rest of them can be and they should be the ones we're willing to talk to.

No Twitter. Go on Facebook! Old people hate sane opinions.
