I like that 5 stages of grief. I would love to march in solidarity with other women or just people period. But I fear my health issues may get the best of me. Like asthma.
Love your added stage of resistance. It reframes and provides an action step for me. Part of my resistance will be working with my local Indivisible group and continuing to follow the brilliant ladies of Red, Wine and Blue.
Anna Newman you're correct! Let's add, this community has each others front, sides, top, back, on down covering each others feet against MAGA, including everyone's post. Ben. Meidas Touch's waking up a sleeping giant in humanity, globally. Our support is genuine.
Even after getting their orange god king re-elected, MAGA world remains a seething mass of anger and grievance. What irritates them most - and scares them, as you rightly point out - is that YOU don't seem intimidated. You haven't been discouraged into silence, and you're not demoralized. They can't understand why - and it scares them.
Keep up the good work, and remember you're not in this fight alone. Thank you.
Well said, Sharon. They've survived on fear and anger for so long, they've forgotten what normal human responses are like. Happy Holidays to you and yours, too!
Jane, you are correct…they got what they wanted and still they are not happy and are full of fear and hate. It’s sad really. And the kicker is that they haven’t even seen yet that tRump isn’t going to keep a lot of his campaign promises.
I doubt that most of them, in their information silos, have heard about Trump's interviews saying he won't bring down grocery prices 'because it's really hard' and likewise inflation. It was always a carny act; a known snake oil salesman selling 'new! improved! snake oil.' But, let's be honest: this was never about egg or gas prices being too damned high. It was about lib owning; a bunch of adult children out to prove their daddy could beat up our daddy. They're pathetic. But they're also about to find out there's only one boat, and they're in it with us 'libs.' And that Trump doesn't give a damn about them. Never did.
That's just it, they cut their noses to spite their faces, they're still not happy, and will blame someone else when the shit hits the fan. Dumbfucks think they will be safe, too bad they are not the 1% that trump loves and adores, they are the uneducated that trump loves and abhors.
How else to explain voting for a convicted felon billionaire who's busy installing a billionaire cabinet. It sure as hell isn't to benefit the average Joe, or MAGA.
And I'm willing to bet some of them will have "come to Jesus" moment and realize they've been had, and in the worst way. I'm not sure if there'll be a lot of them, but there will be some. And it won't be pretty either, especially if they've been "written off" by friends, relatives, etc.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for keeping us together & sane! I am grateful for all you do! Never in my life & I’m 69 years old, retired & have had multiple surgeries in the past 7 years which has made me feel helpless! Thank you & I like so many of us will not back down to their level! Merry Christmas to you & your family!🎄🇺🇸💙🥰
I understand what you are saying Renee. I really wish I was more physically able to participate in the resistance movement. Unfortunately due to back, knees, hips and asthma & sarcoidosis in my lungs physical activity can be very difficult. I made phone calls for Kamala and I have served as an election worker for 6 yrs in GA where I live. I’m hoping to advance to a higher position if there is a next election! I’m also looking for other less physical options to help out. We must resist this subhuman scum and his brain dead flunkies however we are able!
Thank you Ben, Brett and Jordy for all you do every day to keep us informed along with all the MTN contributors. As always you are in my prayers, stay safe! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽💖
As the Orannge/rapist/theif/molesters hero and mentor Adolf Hitler was about to take poison and commit suicide...he blamed the German people for his demise.
So will Hannible Lector blame his Orange maggot-millions of slaves when he faces final retrubution for his murderous war on the human race and Mother Earth.
The number of sociopaths in this country continues to increase as the soulless freaks keep having children with the same genetic tendencies. And their brutal, conscience-less, self-absorbed manner of connection to others is justified when they see others of the same ilk running their game over the rest of us without responsibility or accountability.
In 2006 Dr Martha Stout estimated that 7% of Americans were sociopaths. Double that number for a clearer picture of what we’re dealing with. Their cruelty and manipulation, lack of empathy and compassion, sheer chutzpah have become normalized. They’ve infiltrated leadership, the courts, law enforcement, and every profession.
Rage against it. It’s all we can do. Thanks for what you do.
Dear Ben, and all Our Meidas Family , we will continue to be grateful for our Community and hold up our Family of Heroes! These threats are real and we understand the importance of speaking publicly about them. They are afraid. They are not educated on facts. They are pretenders. Scared little people. We are not. We are not afraid, we are the most intelligent, cultured, and educated Pro Democracy Community in The World.
We are Powerfully United. Thank you Ben, for holding the line. We are with you 💯 percent.
I’ve been following MTN for so long I don’t how long. Back when Twitter was something lol. You’re always bringing us the pressing story with the facts to back it up. You have intellectual guests and co-hosts and you raise up others who speak to truth!!
The bullies are running scared, they have no desire for news that does not back them up, so they lash out. Thank you for your bravery and courage. I would not be able to understand half of what is really going on were it not for THE MIGHTY MEIDAS NETWORK
I hope you are all safe and taking measures to protect your families. You're correct, the death threats mean that they're scared. It means that your public education and advocacy efforts are working. Never back down, never compromise, never stop exposing the rot within the MAGA movement. Thank you for all you do.
Well said, Doug! Ben, Brett, Jordy, Ron, and the rest of the Meidas team: Thanks for all that you do to bring light to the darkness. Happy Holidays to you all. Do what you need to do to protect yourselves and your precious families. We’ve got your backs.
Did Maga really get what they wanted, yes tRump will be back in the White House, but as you have pointed out and they are now realising he ain’t going to deliver anything and they need to blame someone, anyone other than themselves. Take care
Oh, don’t worry, Lyn. Sure, they got what they wanted but the angry nest of MAGAts will find a way to blame the ‘libs’, certain ethnic groups,and/or the ‘Deep State’ for everything that will go wrong. Like true sociopathic narcissists, they will never accept blame for their own madness and misguided actions unless it comes back to bite them. It’s up to us to stay strong together and not cave to these forces of evil. I hope we can all use these holidays to strengthen our resolve and find peace within ourselves and those we love.
They may have won, but since it was under mostly false pretenses they are scared shirtless that you will uncover the truth.....that's why they are making threats.
We have your back! Thank you for all you do to keep us informed.
Seconded! Hope you call the police and have these MAGAts arrested. We cannot accept and normalize this behavior, resistance is the only way: https://democracydefender2025.substack.com/p/trump-resist-five-stages-of-grief
Resist, resist, resist!
I like that 5 stages of grief. I would love to march in solidarity with other women or just people period. But I fear my health issues may get the best of me. Like asthma.
COPD, I hear you.
Love your added stage of resistance. It reframes and provides an action step for me. Part of my resistance will be working with my local Indivisible group and continuing to follow the brilliant ladies of Red, Wine and Blue.
I’m a member of my local Indivisible group too. So heartening to see another. Peace my friend and may we move this country forward together. 💙

Indeed.
I agree
You guys rock! You are the anti-venom to the Fox News poison.
Expose the Trump gangsters for what thru are.
Oooo, the anti-venom to Fox. I like that!
Even after getting their orange god king re-elected, MAGA world remains a seething mass of anger and grievance. What irritates them most - and scares them, as you rightly point out - is that YOU don't seem intimidated. You haven't been discouraged into silence, and you're not demoralized. They can't understand why - and it scares them.
Keep up the good work, and remember you're not in this fight alone. Thank you.
They don’t understand empathy and compassion. They believe that they are weaknesses, but they are our strengths.
Wishing you the happiest of holidays!
Well said, Sharon. They've survived on fear and anger for so long, they've forgotten what normal human responses are like. Happy Holidays to you and yours, too!

Bingo! And when they do realize it,, it will still be the Dems' fault anyways!
Very well stated, Jane!
Thanks, Jackie!

I also wish I was able to march with everyone also. My knees won’t allow me to.

Magats are cult members to a fear mongering wanna be dictator. He is going to screw them too.. they are just too stupid to know it.
As the Orannge/rapist/theif/molesters hero and mentor Adolf Hitler was about to take poison and commit suicide...he blamed the German people for his demise.
So will Hannible Lector blame his Orange maggot-millions of slaves when he faces final retrubution for his murderous war on the human race and Mother Earth.

The Sociopath Nextdoor by Dr. Martha Stout really opened my eyes!
Sadly, they've normalized all of this horrendous, unacceptable behavior and speech. God save our country!

Well Lyn, I have 2 answers to your question for the maggots : “BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU ASK FOR BECAUSE YOU JUST MIGHT GET IT” & FAFO!!
MAGA is a cancer which needs to be cut out. It’s going to take some time but good will always win against evil!
They may have won, but since it was under mostly false pretenses they are scared shirtless that you will uncover the truth.....that's why they are making threats.
Thank you! We know that you will keep fighting for all of us and our democracy.
You have my full support. Those bullies need time in solitary to reflect on their poor choices.
Sounds like the threats come from corporate media! So much for the "free" market 🤨
