I don't think you're overreacting—in fact, you might be giving Trump more credit than he deserves. The fake electors scheme and J6 were almost childlike, pure emotion with little forethought. He is now closer to the defiant teenager stage out to prove something - it's now more dangerous. I think you're also right about Trump's appointments being loyalists. I think the other qualifying factor was their media chops. "Dealing with the media" used to be the caveat to cabinet appointments; for Trump, it's the role. It's too late for corporate media (on the Left) to save democracy - they lost their credibility last Summer telling us Biden was still sharp, then (the following Monday) telling us he's out, Kamala is in, and she's a star... There is hope, we can bypass pay-to-play corporate media and connect common sense voters (the vast majority) directly - organically - on a platform designed for democracy, no algoythums, no ads, no boosts, no bots... I'd be happy to demo.
That sounds absolutely amazing! I believe that I may have misunderstood the context in which you were talking about an app for organizing. We’ve been using Bluesky as a safe space for truth and uniting pro democracy people from all over the world. Your idea sounds great and desperately needed seeing as though most of our media is MAGA owned and has been flooded by misinformation, propaganda, and hate speech!
Thanks... I'd love to demo the platform/app and get your thoughts on it sometime. If you (or anyone else) is interested, let's connect on LinkedIN. https://www.linkedin.com/in/jimgillis/
There is a social media platform called Bluesky that has helped us build a pro democracy movement. The COO is a nice woman named Rose and she is anti fascist. They have been trying to keep the platform safe for us! It’s a huge movement and if you aren’t on there yet, I recommend you try it. It’s easy to navigate. 🌹
Hi Laura, yes I am on Bluesky, but I don't really post there due to time constraints. The platform we need (the one we're building) is one built for elections. A platform you can see and hear from all the candidates in all the races up and down your ballot side by side. An app that allows you to organize, manage, and share your vote with friends.... Think about the difference between Bluesky, where someone might mention a great Thai restaurant in San Diego, and Yelp, where you can type in Thai restaurants in San Diego and get a listing of 15 resturaunats with star-ratings and reviews and menus and pictures of the inside and you make resvervations and get directions and leave reviews.... its like that. Democracy is important - we should be throwing the full weight of our tech at it - not just a chatboard.
tRump or Krasnov, is a Russian asset and is helping Putin achieve his “New World Order”. It has been a long time in the making by people driven by hatred and fear who believe they are entitled to infinite wealth, power, and control. I honestly never thought I would see this happen in my lifetime and I’m trying to hold onto hope that someone or something will rise up to change the destructive course that we are on. I’m disabled with MS and on Social Security Disability Medicare and Medicaid and these people are not sympathetic to the disabled, elderly, or veterans among others.
