Blame the rest of US voters. It’s not like the lying, grifting, & total incompetence wasn’t on display in MAGA DJT term 1 with Covid & 1/6. It was also clear they were using Project 2025 as a platform for this term. Top 1% GOP elites have bought pols, mostly GOP for decades. Thank SCOTUS, too.

If you believe setting up a catastrophic state insurance fund to assist with property insurance is somehow going to raise your rates, you are even more gullible than the MAGA GOP voters who have given the state of FL one-party GOP rule for 20+ yrs. THINK! GOP is corrupt & in biz with 1% insurers.

If you vote GOP, anywhere up or down the ballot, you are signing up for the MAGA grift & corruption, plus the terrible stewardship of the nation, for both of DJT’s terms. We have a do nothing GOP Congress, a rogue partisan SCOTUS, & policies that assist the 1% to the detriment of the 99%. VOTE 🟦!

As I recall, he’s the author & architect of Project 2025, too. The one our truth teller of a Prez claimed to know zero about, & our lame ass GOP media let the lie fester instead of reminding millions that this doc existed & had, essentially, become the convention platform of MAGA for 2024. SMDH!

Or if not, it’s a straight out bribe for GOP votes. Hope voters patience has worn off, with the endless cadre of GOP pols, & media, that LIE every day to gain their votes as they assist the 1% elite class. Not voting GOP has to become a lifelong commitment to allow things to change for the better.

If the never ending LYING by DJT meant anything at all to 77M voters, we wouldn’t be here at all. He lies & exaggerates on every topic imaginable, yet his words are taken seriously by media, journalists, & more. Can’t explain it, besides we live in a post truth right wing fantasy world…

Says the guys, & GOP party, responsible for up to 900,000 NEEDLESS USA deaths, due to Covid, from the abject failure to contain the initial outbreak, for political gain, and a two year effort to avoid Covid vaxes from the GOP. USA mortality was 4 times the World’s average!! (Source: Worldometers)

WE let rich people convince us, thru their bought GOP media right wing allies, that: -Gov’t was useless & wasteful -Education was a family priority -Taxes should be low to non-existent -Only you & your family count -Public services are for the weak -Crime is a blue city issue All of this is BS!!

At some point ppl will figure out that many things could improve if ppl stop electing Republicans to manage a gov’t they don’t want, or believe, can work due to their rigid ideology & 1% donors. Our system moves slowly but it will work better with many fewer Republicans in office, everywhere!

We used to think this way as a country about ALL of our citizens. Then, Fox News, & all similar right wing outlets, came along to convince ppl to be selfish individuals & it would be optimal if everybody just ignored the bottom 30%, scrapped public ed $$’s, & lowered taxes on the wealthy 5-6 times.

DJT’s been a reckless MAGA POS since he rode the elevator down 10+ yrs ago. It shows how GOP biased our media is that statements like this don’t make weeks, or months, of outrage. Can you imagine if any DEM did it? Oh, HRC called a segment of MAGA racists “deplorables” & it cost her votes & more!

Let’s see, what’s worse, DJT calling for the obliteration of LA or San Diego, by Iran, or HRC calling a segment of MAGA “deplorables” for their racist votes & behaviors. Evidently, for most of US GOP media the deplorables comment lasted for months & this might be a 24-hr story, maybe! Wake up!!

Reagan didn’t start the hostage crisis in 1979, but he schemed, for his political gain, to have Iranians wait to release the hostages until his Admin was in power. The GOP always scheme for more power & US voters have rarely held them accountable, especially since GOP media was built in the 90’s.

Profiles in cowardice! All GOP should lose their jobs. An insurrection they memory hole! A Covid mortality 4X the rest of the World. 900K died, needlessly, due to DJT inaction & GOP reticence about vaxes for 2 yrs after. Confirming creeps & scoundrels like RJK Jr, Lutnick, & Hegseth to his Cabinet.

statman-stu.bsky.social @statman-stu.bsky.social · 05/10/2026
Fully deserved, if it FINALLY happens. The GOP deserves to be smacked down in a big way. Endless lying. Use of false memes on crime & immigration. Immense levels of family corruption, that extend thru the entire MAGA org. A failure to solve any issues, & to just use 1% tax cuts as their only tool.

statman-stu.bsky.social @statman-stu.bsky.social · 05/10/2026
So Sen Tillis on Morning Joe suggests there might be corruption to look into, disagrees with many of his cabinet choices, like P Hegseth & RFK, Jr yet still remains a supporter of DJT. Maddening. Excuse making to the highest degree, with false equivalences, everywhere, to how DEMs operated, before.

statman-stu.bsky.social @statman-stu.bsky.social · 05/10/2026
The fun part of all of this is to realize the hemorrhage REPs would have if DEMs did any of the same things to them as MAGA has done. Let’s see: -Withhold disaster funding -Cut other gov’t funds -Send ICE to blue cities The only thing REPs will get is POWER applied & then RW media will cry foul.

If there’s a way to shift costs to lower income ppl or to increase public debt, while saving the income & wealth of 1% Republicans, Florida will pass it or put it on the ballot. This is a way to reduce burdens on the richest while impacting the revs to provide needed gov’t services. 🛑 voting REP!

This is the GOP. Look strong, even when the solution is wrong, or the situation is nuanced. DEMs do a lousy job of calling it out. Three bipartisan bills to address immigration reform, across 10+ yrs, torpedoed each time by the GOP for votes & radical sol’ns. Was the GOP punished by voters? NEVER!

Almost every policy acted upon by MAGA/GOP is a simple & WRONG answer for society or the common good. It’s specifically designed to help the wealthy & powerful: -Tax cuts (1%) -Drill, baby, drill (oil investors) -Guns, everywhere (1% & gun sellers) -Cut gov’t services (1%) -Cut public education

Millions were “taught” to be self-absorbed, selfish a-holes by right wing media. Blame black/browns for crime & immigrants for stealing your jobs. It was all BS, not backed up by facts, but 53% of US white women voted 3 times for DJT to elect a rapist & convicted felon as Prez. Vote Blue, 🛑 the GOP!

What your missing is a corrupted US GOP media & 1% elite GOP $’s had more to do with his elections than Russia did. How did DJT get reelected when US Covid death rate was 4X the rest of the world? Downplayed by media disinfo about vaxes is how. Or impeached twice including a violent coup? It’s us!

This happens in FL cause it has been 25 yrs+ of single party GOP rule in this state. With no accountability for stupidity, they can deny climate change, for decades, ban books in schools, divert $$’s to vouchers from public Ed, & mess with college Ed, like destroying New College. 🛑 voting GOP!!

Hey, but we lead the world in BILLIONAIRES & they convince millions to vote GOP on the extremely rare proposition that you could be one someday & you wouldn’t want to be taxed, then. And millions believe the BS & vote against the proposition that a rising tide should lift everyone, not just the 1%.

And for my 2 cents…vote for a party where most of the office holders will deal in reality, propose rational solutions, & actually attempt to make our gov’t work. We’ve elected way too many scoundrels & charlatans, including at the highest level of gov’t. Elect clowns, get a circus! 🛑 voting GOP!!

Republicans are masters at re-writing history cause their policies are abject failures for anyone except the 1%. Endless tax cuts have exacerbated inequality, forcing families to need many jobs to meet their expenses. Benefit cuts hamstring families as healthcare & other issues are not addressed!

Hegseth is the embodiment of youngsters raised in the Fox News (or other) right wing media sphere, across decades. It is impacts how they think, behave, & worst, for most of us, how they vote. The memes promote BS ideas that are destroying our military, daily, as key generals & admirals, are fired.

Something remarkable is happening: James Talarico is running an expansively pro-immigrant campaign in Texas, a state Trump won by 14 points, speaking in Biblical terms about our duty to "the stranger." And it's resonating. That's seismic. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/2160...

In Texas, Something Seismic Is Happening—and It’s All Trump’s Fault
Thanks to the economy and ICE, Trump has lost Texas Latinos. And James Talarico is developing a humane pro-immigrant message that’s resonating—even in this ultra-Trumpy state.

It’s amazing given the GOP demonized immigrants for 20+ yrs, all to stoke fear, & gain votes, from white suburban families. Didn’t matter the GOP torpedoed 3 bills over 10 yrs to reform the system, as their GOP media led an assault that bussed migrants to blue states & used cruel family separation.

Virtually every SCOTUS decision, most on the shadow docket, shows that SCOTUS is acting as an arm of the MAGA/GOP party. It is stupefying to see deportations to countries that are non-“home” for indv’s being deported, actually be allowed even temporarily, from the USA. SCOTUS must be expanded!

plus sending Colin Powell to the UN to embarrass the USA by lying to the World about WMD. Again, voters failed to send the GOP packing in ‘04. Why not continue to lie & reshape reality, when a media structure was built to rehabilitate all but the worst of GOP failures? This was mind numbing to me.

I’m at the point of believing fixing the ACA subsidies is no longer a viable solution since the GOP can cut them anytime they regain power. The answer HAS TO BE an open signup for gov’t healthcare that allows folks to choose private insurance or a gov’t sponsored plan or plans. We must go forward!
