Please stop blaming specific demographic from the democratic party groups for Trumps 2nd Presidency!

Look at the numbers.
2020: Biden 81,268,867 , Trump 74,216,747 .
2024: Trump 77,302,580 , Harris 75,017,613 .
Trump gained # million new votes over 2020. Where did they come from?
Harris had almost 6 million votes fewer than Biden in 2020. Where did they go?

Did 6 million workers alone not vote for Harris? 6 million youth alone? Lgbqt+ alone? Women alone? Pro-Palestine voters alone? NO!

You have two choices to blame for Harris's loss of votes. 6 million registered Democrats across the demographic board decided not to vote for a black woman for president. Period. For whatever misguided, delusional reasons they may have conjured up in their petty little minds and ice lump hearts. OR, as many have claimed from the tech and intelligence communities, there was massive election fraud in favor of Trump - switching or eliminating votes in Trumps favor.

The point is: Let it the fuck go and start focusing your mental acuity on resisting the Trump regime, supporting those who are resisting and preparing for the mid-term election and the next Presidential election! Please, for the love of all you hold sacred, please!!

Defunding and degrading the educational system. Overwhelming the ill informed with gaslighting, hatred, relgous bigotry, and divisiveness. The Oligarchs and have been playing the long game since Ronnie Reagan they used to be clever about working in the shadows now it's out in the open. We need to fight this plague with some low down tactics of our own.

starting with the FDRs New Deal, and then the John Birch Society. This has deep roots.

2020 was different due to expanded voting laws cuz COVID... 2024 was back to normal laws and possibly stricter laws in some States.

Electing a non-white woman for president was going to be a heavy lift. It is not a time for California Dreaming. Dems need to plan and prepare carefully.

and more and more Democratic Party women are stepping forward at all levels of government. This will continue until the effort is no longer as heavy a lift. But we Dems have to do the lifting. My sense is that Trump is on the way to screwing up even worse than he did the first time. And this 3rd term idea is so absurd it is hastening the day that lots of folks are waking up to what can only be called a disastrous term.
