Tracy Gosson @tracygosson.bsky.social · 03/03/2025All very true. Ppl are so incredibly ignorant and passive about what’s happening right in front of the own eyes. 010
Tracy Gosson @tracygosson.bsky.social · 02/03/2025As I understand it, dem leaders are going to sit this all out until the bum burns it to the ground with a strategy to come back at midterms. I get the play, I just hope there’s something left in a year+ to salvage 120
Tracy Gosson @tracygosson.bsky.social · 02/03/2025When this shit is over the US better bring back public hangings for all traitors & insurectionists 000
Tracy Gosson @tracygosson.bsky.social · 28/02/2025I’m out here trying. It’s a lonely endeavor at times. Always hard to tell if friend or foe are lurking in the weeds 100
Tracy Gosson @tracygosson.bsky.social · 26/02/2025Clinton was elected as I was exiting college & it was exciting. The reagan shit was finally over. This generation needs the same type of leader for their issues & for these times. Clinton would have NEVER made it to the White House w social media puhhhleez! 010
Tracy Gosson @tracygosson.bsky.social · 26/02/2025As a person in their late 50’s (gulp) I agree! Clinton & Obama were exciting bcuz they were young, fresh voices w a vision. I want to hear from the next gen of leaders, not more schumer 000
Tracy Gosson @tracygosson.bsky.social · 25/02/2025Quite useful at one period in time, his use-by date has long expired. He was cataclysmically wrong about the election, let’s just start there. 010
Tracy Gosson @tracygosson.bsky.social · 25/02/2025Ya’ll watching that stock market? A trend seems to be emerging. 010
Tracy Gosson @tracygosson.bsky.social · 24/02/2025Here is a @wsj.com headline of concern. Basically, the retail market for the majority of consumers is already in peril, so we have 10% of consumers propping everything up pretty much based on the stock market. Should that fall significantly in the coming months? The whole thing falls apart 020
Tracy Gosson @tracygosson.bsky.social · 21/02/2025This is a fascinating article someone shared on BS that is worth the read www.foreignaffairs.com/united-state...foreignaffairs.comThe Path to American AuthoritarianismWhat comes after democratic breakdown. 000
Tracy Gosson @tracygosson.bsky.social · 21/02/2025Oh yea. Bruce Koepka was shining his putter & then some last week. The guy fukking cheats at golf! 100
Tracy Gosson @tracygosson.bsky.social · 21/02/2025Of course that too. They’re not gonna round these people up and send them off to other countries. They’re gonna round them up to put them in work camps so that they can pick all the food on the farms and process the meat in the factories as part of their imprisonment. For free 120
Tracy Gosson @tracygosson.bsky.social · 21/02/2025The term that I have read that completely sticks as each day progresses is competitive authoritarianism. It’s gonna look like there’s an election and an opposing party, but there really isn’t. 120
Tracy Gosson @tracygosson.bsky.social · 21/02/2025Throw all of our data into AI, who can then ID your political affiliation, if you voted, where you live, if you should get a ballot for the next election, if you should continue to get any sort of government assistance or even a tax refund, etc. etc. I am sure they are running all those models now 140
Tracy Gosson @tracygosson.bsky.social · 21/02/2025100%. Merge citizen personal data with voting records, government payment systems etc. and then you start to single out who gets a ballot, who gets a Social Security check, etc.. Total FUBAR 030
Tracy Gosson @tracygosson.bsky.social · 21/02/2025Oh, you know those negotiations started before the inauguration 020
Tracy Gosson @tracygosson.bsky.social · 21/02/2025Likely. But the question is how it will it be fought? It’s not gonna look like anywhere we’ve ever seen before because the “ammunition“ is very different. This is where I get stuck and want to hear from people that have those minds to think through that. Because that’s what we need to prepare for. 040
Tracy Gosson @tracygosson.bsky.social · 21/02/2025Am I the only one left that remembers being in high school and the only damn thing we were scared of was Russia dropping a nuclear bomb on us & ICBMs? #fukrussia 000

Tracy Gosson @tracygosson.bsky.social · 20/02/2025I was not sold on the guy for president, but I sure as hell can get behind him to lead a revolution. I can only hope that I have this much passion, energy and drive at his age. He is so on the right side of this issue. 020
Tracy Gosson @tracygosson.bsky.social · 20/02/2025He played with Brooks Koepka the other day in FL, I know a guy who’s played with him 3 times since he’s gotten into office. The only work he’s doing is cashing the graft checks 000
Tracy Gosson @tracygosson.bsky.social · 20/02/2025If you raise them well, as I’m sure that you would, you can easily line up customers. I follow a farm online and they posted when they’re next flock was gonna be available and I jumped on it immediately. 010
Tracy Gosson @tracygosson.bsky.social · 19/02/2025I just pre-purchased six chickens that will be ready in June from a small farm n Massachusetts. No they were not cheap, but I bet they also don’t have bird flu. 120
Tracy Gosson @tracygosson.bsky.social · 19/02/2025Every state with these capitulating Republicans needs to have recall elections 020
Tracy Gosson @tracygosson.bsky.social · 19/02/2025All rich dems & monied Hollywood/PR types-it is time to shift energy to helping people communicate their message of how to fix this shit show. Every decent leader & elected official should be assigned a mini-team to help craft their msg & rally around the plan of attack ASAP. Russia is in the Lroom! 000
Tracy Gosson @tracygosson.bsky.social · 13/02/2025“What lies ahead is not fascist or single-party dictatorship but competitive authoritarianism—a system in which parties compete in elections but the incumbent’s abuse of power tilts the playing field against the opposition.” 011
Tracy Gosson @tracygosson.bsky.social · 13/02/2025“The breakdown of democracy in the United States will not give rise to a classic dictatorship in which elections are a sham and the opposition is locked up, exiled, or killed…. …authoritarianism does not require the destruction of the constitutional order.” 100
Tracy Gosson @tracygosson.bsky.social · 13/02/2025“U.S. democracy will likely break down during the second Trump administration, in the sense that it will cease to meet standard criteria for liberal democracy: full adult suffrage, free and fair elections, and broad protection of civil liberties.” 100

Tracy Gosson @tracygosson.bsky.social · 06/02/2025Agreed. Takes some serious nerve or utter cluelessness to ask without gettin in the fight. Whatever is beyond tone deaf is what these emails are 000
Tracy Gosson @tracygosson.bsky.social · 05/02/2025Yes of course! The only ones that I can get to live are the ones that are wrapped around trees outside. That takes a very special touch to keep those things alive indoors 👏👏👏 010
Tracy Gosson @tracygosson.bsky.social · 05/02/2025I equate what we’re experiencing now as presidential doomscrolling. They have tapped into the Zeitgeist of our mental social media trance & just keep dumping shit every day so by the time ur onto the next catastrophe, you’ve forgotten about the one from 10 minutes ago. All a plan to numb & nullify 000
Tracy Gosson @tracygosson.bsky.social · 05/02/2025He’s not wrong. There’s not going to be some big ah-ha-gotcha-Oprah moment coming from the dems. They aren’t even treading water at this point 000
Tracy Gosson @tracygosson.bsky.social · 05/02/2025I hope we are all clear for what lies ahead now. Put into a corner with no way out, our only option now is to fight back. Legislative & judicial have been castrated. They want what is going to come next cuz it means martial law. This is going to be Kent State on a whole other level. Prepare urself 000
Tracy Gosson @tracygosson.bsky.social · 04/02/2025If you keep this Russia/China mantra in your head, every single day makes sense. Democracy is a failed experiment, it works for no one, it serves no one, it is a failure. The only way is our way. The totalitarian way. We’re going to make you implode from the inside without dropping a single bomb 000
Tracy Gosson @tracygosson.bsky.social · 04/02/2025I’m surprised it took them this long to get it on the agenda. Actually, I’m surprised they didn’t come after them the first go round. Just look up Putin‘s Russian controlled media playbook so we can find out what the next step is. 050
Tracy Gosson @tracygosson.bsky.social · 03/02/2025I really don’t care who it is, but there is going to be a group of people that you’ve never heard of that are will emerge, come forward and lead the charge. And whether people rally around them as a group or institution, who knows 110
Tracy Gosson @tracygosson.bsky.social · 03/02/2025NPR and CBP are right in the gop crosshairs cuz the ax is coming for them next. I’d say by March, they either become the US version of All-Russian State Television and Radio Broadcasting Company or get defunded 011
Tracy Gosson @tracygosson.bsky.social · 03/02/2025I know @booker.senate.gov is up for reelection in 2026 but @fetterman.senate.gov isn’t 000
Tracy Gosson @tracygosson.bsky.social · 03/02/2025I will say it till I am 6 feet under. There’s not a single thing I can think of in the world of government and politics that cannot be fixed with campaign finance reform. Take out the money, remove the influence and you get back to governing the people. PERIOD. 1183
