Timeline
Divided and Conquered
A divided Democratic coalition has formed a circular firing squad to deflect blame for another devastating election loss.
The 2024 election was decades in the making. When Ronald Regan won a landslide reelection in 1984, the Democratic leadership abandoned FDR's progressive economic policies that won 50 years of Democratic Congressional majorities. Now, after a second devastating loss to Trump's politics of division, Democrats must unite around a bold economic agenda that can change lives and inspire a new generation.
The American People are Angry
Despite Trump's hateful bigotry and White Christian nationalism, Americans voted for Trump's anti-establishment message over a Democratic Party that has embraced the status quo over the needs of working people.
Senator Bernie Sanders has been warning for years that the "the big money interests and well-paid consultants who control the Democratic Party" have failed to "understand the pain and political alienation that tens of millions of Americans are experiencing." Sanders blamed Democratic leaders for "defending the status quo" and failing to recognize that "the American people are angry and want change."
Elect America's First Female President
Donald Trump is a disgusting Male Chauvinist Pig and women are not going to take it anymore.
Women across America are fed up with Donald Trump and his hateful, anti-woman MAGA movement. He brags about groping women and then attacks his victims with lies, insults, and threats of violence. He already overturned Roe, and if elected to a second term will pass a national abortion ban. The Time is NOW! Women are organizing online, person-to-person, and even in bathroom stalls, to elect America's first female president.
Deja Vu All Over Again
Trump is doubling down on election conspiracy theories and the Big Lie because Kamala Harris is now leading in the polls.
Donald Trump is scared of losing—again. Since Biden dropped out last month, the presidential election has flipped. Democrats have united behind Vice President Kamala Harris who is surging online and in the polls. In what feels like Deja Vu All Over Again, Trump is spreading the same disinformation and election conspiracy theories as a setup to challenge the 2024 elections results.
Trump's Coalition of the Weird
The Republican party is now dominated by strange bedfellows who have declared a Holy War on the administrative state and American multicultural democracy.
Like the parable of the boiling frog, Trump kept turning up the heat until he killed the old Republican Party. The Trump-Vance campaign is a strange coalition of white Christian Nationalists, QAnon deep state conspiracy theorists, and ultra right-wing paramilitary bigots backed by the financial support of Tech Bro billionaires and anti-government Crypto Kings willing to spend millions to elect Trump's Coalition of the Weird.
The Prosecutor and The Convict
Democrats joyfully unite around Vice President Kamala Harris, the former prosecutor, while Trump world predictably panics by spouting out racist, sexist slurs.
The 2024 election has been turned upside down. Within the first 24 hours of Biden halting his re-election campaign, Democrats quickly embraced Vice President Harris who raised a record $81 million and has already secured enough delegates to be the presumptive Democratic nominee. Trump and his allies are clearly shaken as the internet explodes with #KamalaISbrat and pro Kamala memes supporting the much younger Harris who can prosecute the case against the convicted felon.
Threatening, Inflammatory, Denigrating
To avoid criminal and civil legal accountability, Trump has spent over $100 million donated by his supporters to his Save America and MAGA PACs, only to use that money for his legal strategy of lies, attacks and delays.
Donald Trump's legal strategy is to delay his criminal trials past the election with an avalanche of motions based on unsubstantiated claims of political persecution, dubious constitutional theories, and personal attacks against judges, prosecutors, court personnel, and their families. Pushing Trump's lies of election fraud, some of his attorneys are now facing legal repercussions, including pleading guilty in Georgia and facing disbarment for conspiring with President Trump to "disrupt the electoral count." The Manhattan criminal trial Judge had enough of Trump's attacks and issued a gag order writing that Trump's “extrajudicial statements went far beyond defending himself" and are “threatening, inflammatory, denigrating.”
Trump's Dinner for Schmucks
Wikipedia defines a schmuck as “stupid or foolish, or an obnoxious, contemptible, or detestable person.”
Thanksgiving week Trump broke bread with an antisemitic Holocaust denier at his Mar-a-Lago home and told Ye, "I really like this guy. He gets me." With his own daughter and Jewish son-in-law declaring they want nothing to do with his re-election, Trump is counting on rightwing hate groups, white Christian nationalists, and conspiracy theorists to win the GOP primaries.
Florida Man Makes Announcement
The twice impeached former President who attempted an armed insurrection announces he is running for president.
Donald Trump is running for president in a desperate attempt to claim political persecution for his multiple legal problems and to stay relevant after his hand picked MAGA candidates failed in the midterm elections. Although the GOP leadership is ready to move on, Trump is still popular with the Republican base and is favored to win the GOP nomination.
