Don't give Elon any credit for his 'clever' use of DOGE and pronounce it the way he wants. It's to be pronounced like 'doggie'. Credit to Heather Cox Richardson. :)

Exactly. I say give them a dose of their own medicine. MTG does not deserve to be treated like a decent human being because she is not one. Fight back!

YES!! I have been saying this and getting chastised by fellow liberals about this type of fighting back! Come on~! We are LOSING the information wars! BAD! We are on the side of the right, but Republicans have stolen the narratives. We cannot win in this regard if we do not engage and clap back against disinformation! We don't have to do it all day long, or every time all the time, but we must be strategic and put our counterpoints out there. Choose battles wisely and carefully--fighting smart is how to win.

Exactly 💯. Counter trolling is way over due.

Agree. I don't understand weepy liberals. They need to get a backbone.

Indeed--we allow ourselves to get incinerated on principle instead of fighting fire with fire.

I think even Michelle and Barack Obama no longer think going high works. I loved her at the DNC. Gloves are off!

We tried playing nice and here we are. Let the muckraking commence!

You're right. We're tired of playing nice and now it's time to play. Dirty Trump is Maine's wanna play Dirty. We can play more dirtier than he can and will take him down. Like his dirty diaper will take him down and destroy him and his nominees.

Like Mac ma l ML mosque. It's a swanny

It's time for a new generation to step up to the new age of politics and create a stronger version of the Democratic Party. AOC, Crockett and a few other are attempting to do just that and the more we support them the stronger they will get. I may be 62 but I have never given in to bullies and never will. What S.M has turned into is a bunch of hateful ranting and no one knows who the ppl doing this really are and id bet most of them won't ever reveal themselves bc of the luxury of hiding behind a phone or laptop

How to Stop Authoritarians Before They Start

🔸️FITNESS FOR DUTY EVALUATIONS that are mandatory, like the military for high responsibility positions, would have stopped Trump before he got within a mile of the White House.

Bandy X Lee, Steven Hassan, and 100 other psychiatrists agree Trump has five dangerous mental pathologies as listed in the books "The More Dangerous Case of Donald Trump" and "The Psychology Of Trump Contagion - An Existential Threat to American Democracy and All Humankind".

"Containing Trump Contagion and Healing from Mental Pathology in Politics"

https://youtu.be/HTkCqU5LM-k?si=f6g0PolglC21w1nR

🔸️Fitness for Duty Evaluations start with everyone who interacts with the individual in question, and when red flags start to appear, 'say something.'

The US Military has procedures to follow that require individuals in question to have a Fitness for Duty Evaluation. Voters must demand the House and Senate do the same.

"Stephen Xenakis- Fitness for Duty Exams: Preventing Autocratic Abuse"

https://youtu.be/vdtChF07ryU?si=VJ5dauWFoUQg10uH

🔸️Outside the military are professionals like Dr. Bandy X. Lee who has several dozen colleagues all of whom are highly qualified to do Fitness for Duty Evaluations.

The U.S. House and Senate have several mechanisms to enforce their rules, including:

* Leadership

* Committees

* Floor Procedures

* Party Discipline

It's important to note that these mechanisms are not always used consistently or effectively. The more voters demand mentally fit leaders the more the House and Senate will comply.

🔸️I like what forensic psychologist Dr. Bandy X. Lee says that fascism and authoritarianism are just dangerous mental pathologies that worm their way into politics.

Everyone on Earth deserves and demands leadership that is mentally fit.

Fitness for Duty Evaluations performed by well respected psychiatrists ensures every country has leaders who do not serve their own power, but serve their own people.

With a pool of mentally fit candidates, we then have all the elections we wish.

"Fascism and authoritarianism are just dangerous mental pathologies that worm their way into politics" I agree 💯 and that is a brilliant observation!! Trump and his sick cronies have spread a mental illness across America, that is the true "trump derangement syndrome"
