I’m 84, and I am a realist, so I understand that the last part of my life will be filled with Trump. It is a depressing thought so I am thankful to know there are still those that aren’t giving up. Keep educating me on the events of the day. Thank you!👏🏻
Class of 1956 here. Yes he will. Now, how do we use this strength against them. The GOP gave very precise lessons in how to manipulate the government. We should study those lessons, apply those lessons and expand upon those lessons.
I am 60 and also terrified. I fear losing my disabilitty and Medicare. I fear for my child bearing age niece. I fear for my great nieces. I fear for a gay family member. I fear for a cousin who has a civil service government job. I fear for all the girls on college campuses that are calling their mothers in fear as they are being taunted by the college boys who qoute Nick Fuentes, "Your Body, My Choice". I worry about the teenager girls in high school who are hearing the same thing, and reporting being grabbed as they walk down the hall. I fear for Ukraine, Poland, Finland, Israel and Gaza. I fear for anyone who isn't a white male. I fear for our nation, for the environment, for our whole world. I am lost and confused. I just want to cry! I am struggling to even function right now. Was this how people felt during the Cuban Missle Crisis? Feeling if a bomb is going to drop on their heads.
I agree Judith....I have had my tears this morning...I am beyond words..it is terrifying and at 80 yrs young it is as though the earth collapsed. I CANNOT believe so many of so called Americans voted for a fascist. It is such a hopeless, feeling. Be in peace. We must not give up.
I'll never understand why so many voted for this outcome. Are they really that ignorant and low information? I'm so thankful for MTN. Youtube put "crystal singing bowls" in my playlist last night. It worked really well on me and I fell asleep and slept better than I have in a while, in spite of everything. It played all night and was still playing when I woke up this morning. I highly recommend it. It might work for you too.
After a multi-faceted campaign that purged, "challenged", threw-out, spoiled, and thwarted voters the outcome was rigged. That does not explain that millions of voters that still chose to support not just a disgusting criminal and psychopath, but the underlying conspiracy by the oligarchs and Christian Nationalists. Hitler and many other current and historical tyrants have many times couched their ambitions under the guise of religion.
Watch the Palast documentary: Vigilantes, Inc. regarding the use of challenges to deny the vote to millions.
Purging: mass purges: 400,000 in Georgia, 1.2 million in Texas — way over 10 million removed from the voter rolls — no other advanced nation does this, erasing voters’ rights to cast a ballot.
This is beyond a sad day in America. It is a major attack upon humanity throughout the world with world-wide consequences. Waiting for the next election to reverse course will be too late. I and many others not only can see where this is heading, we have been provided the plans through Project 2025.
This was a long term plan that started in the '70s after Carters election. Fox News was always planned as the propaganda wing of the Right. A systematic dumbing down of America has ensued. Education in the red states has been cut and dismantled and discredited so that the population is less educated and therfore easier to control. The labeling of Liberal as a curse, when in truth it is a positive word. Ronald Reagan and his trickle down economics, another lie has shifted money to a few not the many as we were told to believe. Citizens United, gerry mandering, and ever increasing voter disenfranchising. The stacking of the Supreme Court with judges that lied that they would be impartial and not overturn Roe V Wade in their confirmation hearings. The corruption of the Supreme Court who have given in to bribes and favor against their oath. The Christian Right Mega Churches preached hate instead of love. Preached about politics while enjoying their tax free statuses while being run by Ovver the Top personailities who used their pulpit to rake in milions. The Orange Turd was just a means to the end. Once we elected a black President, he decided to encourage the birther movement through his racist narcasistic personality. Which put him more in the limelight after the success of his TV show. (A mirage of Prosperity in a Pool of incompetence). The Turd then promised the richest more riches and the racists more racism. He touted himself as a Alpha Male when in truth he is the runt of the litter. If you consider that a lot of this started at the time Woman were starting to be given freedoms that allowed them to financially control more of their lives and therefore were not left to the whim and demands of men to survive you have to wonder if their goals were anything othere than a fear of losing the Patriarchy.
we did not vote for this. neither did trump's cult , they didn't have too. I am as certain as I sit here. Putin, korea, china the supreme court, the judges herer that he and Mitch rushed in. like Cannon. and over 2 hundred other judges. his Maga cult, the Congress of the US. and it was rigged , there is no way anyone with a functioning brain would !!WE know who and what he is. and we cannot let this farch of an election stop us , from saving our democracy. and our Constitution ! which he says he will #END!!
These were not normal people. They’ve been conditioned by their church for a decade. I am now reading the Heritage Foundation copy of Project 2025. every point that anybody would hit us with is in there. I mean all of the talking points and when it starts on January 21st it’s going to be ugly and horrible. We are going to go into a depression. We’re going to lose insurance, Social Security, medicare Medicaid, all social programs are going to get chopped. People will lose jobs, The Christians want
America to become a Christian nation “again” I actually found a flyer in my Walmart grocery delivery today. It is titled “A more perfect union” A picture of the Capital on the front inside were about seven different scriptures and discussion as to why America will be this way, etc.. what the actual F?!!
Here’s what happened to my mind in the shower today.
If someone (it’s a radical thought) out there knows a way to send the Biden administration this thought I’d appreciate it.
Okay, Biden is still the president, right?… If he would resign now, Kamala would be president and have the power of the presidency to declare a national emergency despite what the Congress or senate say. We STILL HAVE POWER… but it goes against our constitution. So the fuck what!!!! We know through his own words what he would do so do we just let that happen to our country? Why would we do that? It turns out that for the last few years it’s the minority that rules the country by blocking policies that help us.
I say DO NOT GIVE UP SO EASILY. Either Biden does it or Kamala does.
This is exactly what Trump or Vance will do so stay ahead of the BS and leave the proud boys in prison and save our country from Trump and the radical right. Keep it in the courts for years until Trump passes away. And step by step restore democracy to what it always was.
There’s no other answer to this new and terrible situation. I REPEAT;
DO NOT STEP DOWN RIGHT NOW TO SAVE AMERICA
YOU KNOW THERES A WAY !! We have to fight a new war here and now and this is it.
John, I agree with you 100%. The orange clown LOSER must be stopped. The power to stop him is right there. It MUST be used, and rightfully so. No question about it. The magats will riot but the power is there to crush them. We are in control right now and there was an oath taken to "protect against all enemies, foreign or domestic." Hands down this applies to trump. He has proven, and in his own words that he will destroy our democracy. These are very scarey times, and not just for us, but the world order is at stake. It makes me sick to think about whats coming. It's the 30's all over again. These magats have no idea what's heading our way. I heard a comment, "A non-stable world has just had a chaos agent injected into it." God, help us all.
I have been promoting the same idea to those I’ve been talking to; we know the underhanded tactics that brought them to this point.
They are betting that we will let them rob us of our democracy while we wring our hands. It is unfortunate, but for our democracy, we have to fight. They did not expect President Biden to be brazen enough to take the action that he did in July. We must be brazen enough to not let this democracy or his legacy to be destroyed.
This election was STOLEN by Black Box Voting that was used in 2004 or something like it has been perfected by the magat's & that's why they fought so hard in 2020 because they thought we had beat them to the punch!
So Biden and the Senate have 2 months to do “something”. I’m not in support of seizing power… but government nerds? What can be done in the next two months? to protect our Republic and the vulnerable who are targeted ?
I hope you don't mind it if I apply this as a soldier. As a soldier I did not fight the enemies of this country out of hate. I fought them because of the people places and things I loved and left behind.
Not at all. Go for it and thank you for your reply and of course your service… without hate. 👀
We’re having a tough day here and I’m sure you can hear our frustration in my long comment. I do wonder if the Biden administration has been preparing for this calamity. How could they NOT!! BUT following the true and righteous path will ABSOLUTELY NOT SAVE OUR COUNTRY. AND unlike the proud boys we want the truth to prevail.
And I ask the wind again, why not fight from the top down? Right now the president can resist. Organize the justice department and start suing everyone to, if nothing else, stall the process. BIDEN IS IN CHARGE OF THE MILITARY AND EVERY ASPECT OF IT.
I know it goes against what we as a nation stand for but the alternative is possibly loosing it forever.
There’s the assholes, Bannon and Flynn. Rudy, Kushner, Trump jr. and Eric. And many others involved.
If I was president in this situation I would use the immunity given to the president by the jack-wagon scotus liars and fing arrest trump tomorrow without notice. Charge him with plotting with Russia to end democracy.
SOMETHING!!! It’s within his duties as president to preserve this nation and democracy from evil… and Trump is the definition of evil (just stupid evil)
This is a really kind reply … I love your appreciation of this UNIQUE , HONEST news channel / news podcast . 84 is a great age to reach. You are a survivor and a fighter. Take care always .
The young didn't stand up for themselfs. If they had this never would of happened. The Elders we fought, no one listened. Politics shouldn't be bought, but it was. A very sad day for Democracy !
No time for blame storming please. We either accept that we fell down together, or we will never be able to succeed together. The ability of the MAGA party, to get democracy to fight against itself is unparalleled.
I feel that the message, focusing on women was partly to blame, but the young are not as well eductated as previous generations sadly and therefore easily duped. Democrats and people in authority played to nice and made it easy for the corruptness to spread.
Oh, I don’t believe it was just the youth or the older vote. It was mostly white women according to the data. I have pulled my local neighborhood app and ask the question. What can he do? That will make you happiest? I encouraged them to give answers and they did one of the last replies out of the 70+ replies that I got and took pictures of was a link to the heritage foundation Project 2025 booklet all 901 pages. This has been in the works for two decades. It is a moved by the Christians to take over America. And to move us back into the The Guilded Age. So far what I have read is going to happen immediately the next day after the inauguration, I agree we should keep the power going here on our side right now we’re supposed to protect the constitution and they want to rip it up and take over And have our country become a theocracy. We need to stop this and now
No, absolutely not, but from all the comments i see, not here per-sae, people seem to think that there will be people that will help democracy prevail when the reality is, those people will be got rid of. I just want people to start looking at it from the angle of what life will be like and how a change can be brought about, rather than using life as it currently is to build a blue print on how democracy can be brought back - if that makes sense
We need to learn how to be an August Lanmesser. What seemed like an insignificant act at the time. Has become a rallying point for so many more overtime. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/August_Landmesser
Isn’t it sad and shocking that now America has to look at that period in history to try and find a way back to democracy. In just 250 years the great American experiment seems to be over
We need to boycott the Big News companies that chased the dollar rather than the truth. They treated Trump like a normal candidate, not like a wannabe dictator.
The mainstream media have been a huge contributor to the outcome of this election and now you see the big corps sending congrats and well wishes to Trump. In this modern world, everyone seems to be in it for what they can get and sadly what they have got is facism, which of course will only affect the less educated and well off
This is an extremely important point. We are not watching ANY other American news channels other than this one. I’d encourage as many people as possible to do likewise.
Agree. I have already stopped watching because this election was a test to see if the Republicans could get a way with stealing it. Come on if you look at the numbers this was a perfect victory. A little too perfect. ??? Trump said to his followers after this election that they will never have to vote again. And the Democrats are doing nothing to question it. Really??? Trumps win was too perfect and now the Republican Party has the majority in the Senate and House ??? Totally rigged!!!
I haven't watched. I was drawn here today. I am crying. The Maga machine won. When I was successful in my career, it was bc I ignored and put behind me the noise and fight with marches, with lawsuits, etc . Maga effected a wholesale change. Please stop talking about trump. He won on behalf of Maga. Im trying to come back. Im 73. It is very hard. Try every way tried and everything we havent tried that improves the condition of the people.
Please fight back !! Why does she have to concede when there was so many irregularities!? It's not gonna do us any good if they cheat their way to the top and then he never leaves office !!!
I remember the George W Bush supreme court stopping the recount when Al Gore was ahead. A stolen election. I am Australian, but was working in New York at the time. I was amazed by the people who were saying Al Gore should just stop the drama and go away. It made me very sad.
Democrats will do the right thing and concede; it will be viewed as a weakness, though it is the right thing to do. We can win if only we follow the rules, we are past that- we did that, where did it get us - we are worse, far worse off than we were
Dems are too kind. We always think of others and that gets us nowhere, unfortuantely. I agree that we need to play by Trump rules and if we did that, Biden would be taking actions before he leaves office. We know Trump would. We don't want to "sink to that level" but somehow we have to save Democracy, the Education Dept, the FDA, everything because Trump is out to destroy it all.
Democrats have to wake up; we can't play the nice guy and turn the other cheek when we are faced with fascists. Don't we ever learn anything - we are not going to win by playing the same old game. America is uneducated and racist; we need to do what is right, not what the rules say. Fight fascists with everything we have - Trump and the Republicans have been screwing us over for 40 years. Wake up and fight
Think of how different the country would be if Al Gore fought for the truth-instead of doing what he thought was best for the country-that he was the true winner of that election. We would be so much better off…Bush would have never gotten in to office-he was a burned out alcoholic. So brain damaged. He didn’t even have a command of the English language.
I’ll say it here at the risk of sounding MAGA. I hope that Democrat cyber and tech professionals are checking into whether the vote tallies and/or machines were manipulated. Are they or is there any way to find that out and encourage them to look into it?
Trump could not have won the popular vote and all the swing states. It’s an impossibility given the record setting turnout of new voters and women.
Musk has the ability to make all of that manipulation happen as do the Russians and other malevolent cyber hacks.
Trump is known for projecting onto his enemies what he himself is doing. I wonder if this time he has “stolen the election”. Something is very wrong with the numbers!! Very wrong! Or am I the only one who thinks so?
Not sure if I have already responded to you,, but Yes thoughts like yours went through my mind and also I believe another person thought that. Kamala's speech at Howard University ealier this afternoon was great and sad, and watching all those young people sobbing was so hurtful. When he was nominated President the other time, I cried all day. I am the only Dem in the family.....my parents must be turning in their graves...horible to say, but being the eldest of the family I saw them suffer a lot with Republican Presidents & apparently my siblings have forgotten.
I really appreciate your video, but democracy in America will vanish once Trump takes power. If not him, people like Stephen Miller will ensure that the US becomes a dictatorship and that will be it. Democrats have no power now, and that will never change as the Maga party will remove anyone who tries to go against them and re write the constitution so they never have to lose power again. Their playbook is Hitler and Putin, so I cannot see what hope America now has to ever be a democracy again. Its a sad day and WW3 is likely not to be many years away
I did end a couple relationships today. I can’t look at them the same. There IS no love there anymore. That love was destroyed by what they have caused for my family. My gender fluid adult child is in danger now. My other daughter needs ivf if she wants a child of her own. Their future is in question now. So I can’t look at them. I can’t trust them in my life anymore. They chose a sexual predator, like the ones who destroyed my trust in ppl. I just can’t forgive that.
Sad, but true. They didn’t have the backbones four years ago to imprison him and prosecute him for his failed coup attempt. It was more than obvious that he was planning on doing it again and succeeding this tome.
I will keep listening to Meidas Touch.
I’m 84, and I am a realist, so I understand that the last part of my life will be filled with Trump. It is a depressing thought so I am thankful to know there are still those that aren’t giving up. Keep educating me on the events of the day. Thank you!👏🏻
I'm 70 and I'm terrified. Trump will likely appoint more SCOTUS justices that will affect democracy for decades.
Class of 1956 here. Yes he will. Now, how do we use this strength against them. The GOP gave very precise lessons in how to manipulate the government. We should study those lessons, apply those lessons and expand upon those lessons.
And because of his triumvirate he will be able to expand the court to include more of his lackeys.
Of course, that's the plan!
I am 60 and also terrified. I fear losing my disabilitty and Medicare. I fear for my child bearing age niece. I fear for my great nieces. I fear for a gay family member. I fear for a cousin who has a civil service government job. I fear for all the girls on college campuses that are calling their mothers in fear as they are being taunted by the college boys who qoute Nick Fuentes, "Your Body, My Choice". I worry about the teenager girls in high school who are hearing the same thing, and reporting being grabbed as they walk down the hall. I fear for Ukraine, Poland, Finland, Israel and Gaza. I fear for anyone who isn't a white male. I fear for our nation, for the environment, for our whole world. I am lost and confused. I just want to cry! I am struggling to even function right now. Was this how people felt during the Cuban Missle Crisis? Feeling if a bomb is going to drop on their heads.
Let your true living spirit guide you to stay strong. 63 in Oregon. I have 3 children. I will stand with everyone who needs me. I stand with you! Li
Resist as much as possible by doing what's good not with hate .. they will change the powers that BE will pewvail LOVE WILL WIN ..Not hate !!
Sadly hate, facist, bigatry won. I cant even imagine whats to come. So disgusted !
I agree Judith....I have had my tears this morning...I am beyond words..it is terrifying and at 80 yrs young it is as though the earth collapsed. I CANNOT believe so many of so called Americans voted for a fascist. It is such a hopeless, feeling. Be in peace. We must not give up.

Wish it was a bad dream. We have ignored the signs since his first failed presidency.
How will you continue to report when the Trump folks shut you down? Or not allow you to report?
I’m posting this EVERYWHERE
Here’s what happened to my mind in the shower today.
If someone (it’s a radical thought) out there knows a way to send the Biden administration this thought I’d appreciate it.
Okay, Biden is still the president, right?… If he would resign now, Kamala would be president and have the power of the presidency to declare a national emergency despite what the Congress or senate say. We STILL HAVE POWER… but it goes against our constitution. So the fuck what!!!! We know through his own words what he would do so do we just let that happen to our country? Why would we do that? It turns out that for the last few years it’s the minority that rules the country by blocking policies that help us.
I say DO NOT GIVE UP SO EASILY. Either Biden does it or Kamala does.
This is exactly what Trump or Vance will do so stay ahead of the BS and leave the proud boys in prison and save our country from Trump and the radical right. Keep it in the courts for years until Trump passes away. And step by step restore democracy to what it always was.
There’s no other answer to this new and terrible situation. I REPEAT;
DO NOT STEP DOWN RIGHT NOW TO SAVE AMERICA
YOU KNOW THERES A WAY !! We have to fight a new war here and now and this is it.
That’s a great idea but I’m sure they don’t have the balls to do it. That’s the fucking problem, they’re cowards.
Be careful, this is exactly the same thing MAGA is preaching. We need judo not a wall.
Excellent idea if it could only work. Thank you John for that comment.
It's worth talking about and sharing. There are 50,000 at this moment listening and watching this. Someone has to know someone!
Respectfully disagree with your opinion. Take time to regain hope. This is a great idea and should be shared.
John, I agree with you 100%. The orange clown LOSER must be stopped. The power to stop him is right there. It MUST be used, and rightfully so. No question about it. The magats will riot but the power is there to crush them. We are in control right now and there was an oath taken to "protect against all enemies, foreign or domestic." Hands down this applies to trump. He has proven, and in his own words that he will destroy our democracy. These are very scarey times, and not just for us, but the world order is at stake. It makes me sick to think about whats coming. It's the 30's all over again. These magats have no idea what's heading our way.

However it can whomever we know, whatever and the platform this idea warrants a share and serious thought.
So Biden and the Senate have 2 months to do “something”. I’m not in support of seizing power… but government nerds? What can be done in the next two months? to protect our Republic and the vulnerable who are targeted ?
I hope you don't mind it if I apply this as a soldier. As a soldier I did not fight the enemies of this country out of hate. I fought them because of the people places and things I loved and left behind.
Not at all. Go for it and thank you for your reply and of course your service… without hate. 👀
We’re having a tough day here and I’m sure you can hear our frustration in my long comment. I do wonder if the Biden administration has been preparing for this calamity. How could they NOT!!

SOMETHING!!! It’s within his duties as president to preserve this nation and democracy from evil… and Trump is the definition of evil (just stupid evil)
Sucks...its like our military service meant nothing.
Well...hate and lies sure won on Nov. 5th...
Me too. 83
This is a really kind reply … I love your appreciation of this UNIQUE , HONEST news channel / news podcast . 84 is a great age to reach. You are a survivor and a fighter. Take care always .
💙
I don’t know if this will go through…but I stand with you. Thank you!
If Navalny can do it in Russia, we can do it here. Keep the faith.
But there’s the thing, Navalny didnt do it in Russia, he was murdered, Putin is still in power and nothing has changed
Navalny's wife is very much "boots on the ground"!!!
So then you are advocating to give up?
The young didn't stand up for themselfs. If they had this never would of happened. The Elders we fought, no one listened. Politics shouldn't be bought, but it was. A very sad day for Democracy !
No time for blame storming please. We either accept that we fell down together, or we will never be able to succeed together. The ability of the MAGA party, to get democracy to fight against itself is unparalleled.
That was their goal
I feel that the message, focusing on women was partly to blame, but the young are not as well eductated as previous generations sadly and therefore easily duped. Democrats and people in authority played to nice and made it easy for the corruptness to spread.
Oh, I don’t believe it was just the youth or the older vote. It was mostly white women according to the data. I have pulled my local neighborhood app and ask the question. What can he do? That will make you happiest? I encouraged them to give answers and they did one of the last replies out of the 70+ replies that I got and took pictures of was a link to the heritage foundation Project 2025 booklet all 901 pages.

No, absolutely not, but from all the comments i see, not here per-sae, people seem to think that there will be people that will help democracy prevail when the reality is, those people will be got rid of.

Over? Only if we let it be. In a deep recession. Yes. Grab the defibrillator let's get to work.
It makes sense
Next stop, Washington, DC.
AMEN! I'm currently reading his book, Patriot
I frankly feel that Putin’s going to move here in January. They’re measuring the linens for his bed now.
We need to boycott the Big News companies that chased the dollar rather than the truth. They treated Trump like a normal candidate, not like a wannabe dictator.
The mainstream media have been a huge contributor to the outcome of this election and now you see the big corps sending congrats and well wishes to Trump. In this modern world, everyone seems to be in it for what they can get and sadly what they have got is facism, which of course will only affect the less educated and well off
This is an extremely important point. We are not watching ANY other American news channels other than this one. I’d encourage as many people as possible to do likewise.
Agree. I have already stopped watching because this election was a test to see if the Republicans could get a way with stealing it. Come on if you look at the numbers this was a perfect victory. A little too perfect. ??? Trump said to his followers after this election that they will never have to vote again. And the Democrats are doing nothing to question it. Really??? Trumps win was too perfect and now the Republican Party has the majority in the Senate and House ??? Totally rigged!!!
I haven't watched. I was drawn here today. I am crying. The Maga machine won. When I was successful in my career, it was bc I ignored and put behind me the noise and fight with marches, with lawsuits, etc . Maga effected a wholesale change. Please stop talking about trump. He won on behalf of Maga. Im trying to come back. Im 73. It is very hard. Try every way tried and everything we havent tried that improves the condition of the people.
What??! they got the house too?
So far the Republicans have 211 seats and Democrats have 199. Very scary.
I am scared!
Senate Republicans 53 to Democrats 45. It’s a perfect win for them to control all branches of government.
Sadly true
Please fight back !! Why does she have to concede when there was so many irregularities!? It's not gonna do us any good if they cheat their way to the top and then he never leaves office !!!
Republicans are historically election cheaters, in my lifetime.
Nixon Cheated to be in office
Reagan delayed the Iran hostage release
Bush #1
Bush #2 stopped the Florida recount.
trump lies, lies, lies,
trump lies, lies, lies, corporate media engaged.
I remember the George W Bush supreme court stopping the recount when Al Gore was ahead. A stolen election. I am Australian, but was working in New York at the time. I was amazed by the people who were saying Al Gore should just stop the drama and go away. It made me very sad.
Democrats will do the right thing and concede; it will be viewed as a weakness, though it is the right thing to do. We can win if only we follow the rules, we are past that- we did that, where did it get us - we are worse, far worse off than we were
Dems are too kind. We always think of others and that gets us nowhere, unfortuantely. I agree that we need to play by Trump rules and if we did that, Biden would be taking actions before he leaves office. We know Trump would. We don't want to "sink to that level" but somehow we have to save Democracy, the Education Dept, the FDA, everything because Trump is out to destroy it all.
Anything we do will make them enjoy another insurrection.
Democrats have to wake up; we can't play the nice guy and turn the other cheek when we are faced with fascists. Don't we ever learn anything - we are not going to win by playing the same old game. America is uneducated and racist; we need to do what is right, not what the rules say. Fight fascists with everything we have - Trump and the Republicans have been screwing us over for 40 years. Wake up and fight
Think of how different the country would be if Al Gore fought for the truth-instead of doing what he thought was best for the country-that he was the true winner of that election. We would be so much better off…Bush would have never gotten in to office-he was a burned out alcoholic. So brain damaged. He didn’t even have a command of the English language.
The problem is that democracy delivered us fascism.
I’ll say it here at the risk of sounding MAGA. I hope that Democrat cyber and tech professionals are checking into whether the vote tallies and/or machines were manipulated. Are they or is there any way to find that out and encourage them to look into it?
Trump could not have won the popular vote and all the swing states. It’s an impossibility given the record setting turnout of new voters and women.
Musk has the ability to make all of that manipulation happen as do the Russians and other malevolent cyber hacks.
Trump is known for projecting onto his enemies what he himself is doing. I wonder if this time he has “stolen the election”. Something is very wrong with the numbers!! Very wrong! Or am I the only one who thinks so?
I had same thought. Something is fishy. It doesn't add up.
U agree with you. But Kamala is not fighting the count, so now what?
I'm very disappointed they are giving up.
You are so right with your statement....
It is so unbelievable...my head is still spinning....💙😍

Not sure if I have already responded to you,, but Yes thoughts like yours went through my mind and also I believe another person thought that. Kamala's speech at Howard University ealier this afternoon was great and sad, and watching all those young people sobbing was so hurtful. When he was nominated President the other time, I cried all day. I am the only Dem in the family.....my parents must be turning in their graves...horible to say, but being the eldest of the family I saw them suffer a lot with Republican Presidents & apparently my siblings have forgotten.
Thank you all for being such a bright spot on a dark day!
I really appreciate your video, but democracy in America will vanish once Trump takes power. If not him, people like Stephen Miller will ensure that the US becomes a dictatorship and that will be it. Democrats have no power now, and that will never change as the Maga party will remove anyone who tries to go against them and re write the constitution so they never have to lose power again. Their playbook is Hitler and Putin, so I cannot see what hope America now has to ever be a democracy again. Its a sad day and WW3 is likely not to be many years away
I am too old , sadly I may never see Democracy again. I am beyond SICK & DISGUSTED !!
I did end a couple relationships today. I can’t look at them the same. There IS no love there anymore. That love was destroyed by what they have caused for my family. My gender fluid adult child is in danger now. My other daughter needs ivf if she wants a child of her own. Their future is in question now. So I can’t look at them. I can’t trust them in my life anymore. They chose a sexual predator, like the ones who destroyed my trust in ppl. I just can’t forgive that.
If I had any other family — I am 71 — I would end those relationships too. Sadly, I need help from time to time.
❤️
They know democrats won’t fight the count.
Sad, but true. They didn’t have the backbones four years ago to imprison him and prosecute him for his failed coup attempt. It was more than obvious that he was planning on doing it again and succeeding this tome.
Good. You’ve done a great job. You need to be on top of what the Magat’s are doing during the transition and Project 2025.
No one will convince me that this wasn't rigged. Too much doesn't make any sense.
Me too, I’m afraid. 💙
Thank you Ben, for your commitment to stick around. I’ve come to depend on the Meidas Mighty. 🫶 You are needed now more than ever.
💙💙💙
Thank you MeidasTouch. So depressing..
