10. Democrats need to start taking bold and decisive actions.
Sun May 10, 2026, 06:42 PM
Yesterday

We have pussy footed around trying to be likeable gentlemen who cherish following protocols and decorum. But where has this gotten us with these ruthless Fascists.

These Nazis mean business to take and to hold America as exclusively their own and mold it to fit their grand idealizations of their warped god, his warped laws, a their warped church - as they seek to build a warped interpretation of a more perfect and ideal Fascist Theocratic Utopia.

Our Democratic form of goverance is not perfect but there is much we can do to improve upon, build upon, and make it better. If we would finally work together in unison and collaborate our intellect, our abilities, and our productive energies.

First of all we must tar and feather the Fascists and Nazis among us, run them the fuck out of town and out of all levels of our government.

Then boldly get down to the business of getting this government and country back on track and fully operational once again. But not repeating and reiterating the mistakes often made in the past.

Time is against us,.. we have fallen very very deeply into the abyss of Fascism. Most people have hardly even noticed the depth of the danger zone we have crossed into. Ushered here to this point by the often trusted and guiding hand of trump's runaway Fascistic MAGA-ISM.

Purging, disinfecting, and cleansing our country of this vile toxin of MAGA-ISM is priority number one requiring our immediate attention.

Let the consequesnces be suffered for those who brought us here. Then let the healing begin so that which was dismantled, destucted, and destroyed can be repaired and restored.

The country, its people, and their government have taken gigantic leaps and steps backwards and much corrective actions must be taken to clear the slate of this MAGA scourge.
