Don't Blame The Democrats...

...for the mess we are presently experiencing and the mess yet to come. Where are the Republicans?

Why are the Democrats so silent and timid with all the disasters around them, they ask?

That is the wrong question. We should ask, why is no one holding the Republicans accountable for the cuts to USAID and starving the children in Africa? Why aren't Republicans held accountable for going along with the dismissal of 18 Inspector Generals from every Department of government and replacing them with nerds from Elon Musk's operations? Why aren't Republicans defending our Constitution as Donald Trump threatens to send "homegrown" citizens to prisons in El Salvador? Why aren't Republicans asked about their silent support for Trump's tariffs and the crash of the American economy?

This is not the time to blame Democrats.

We need to point the finger and hold accountable the guilty Party and their leaders.

They are Republicans.

We cannot permit ourselves to be distracted from that fact.

are spineless and cowards. This is on them.

Love what Bernie and AOC are doing infiltrating some red states too. Record number attendance.

It is truly up to us.
