#MAGA “this isn’t what I voted for”

#Presidentialelections come down to a handful of #battlegroundstates

⭕ That creates a sense that their ballot doesn't matter 🤪

⭕ There are still plenty of #downballot candidates 😃

⭕ US voter turnout hasn't cracked 70% since the dawn of the 20th century

Amazing that Harris got like 75 million, Trump got like 77 million and WE* THE PEOPLE got, 89 million *Registered US Citizens
These states had the highest voter turnout in 2024
About 65% of voting-age Americans cast a ballot in last November's elections, per new Census Bureau estimates, down from nearly 67% in 2020. Why it matters: Even in high-stakes presidential elections like we had last year, many Americans simply don't take part — whether out of disinterest or inability. Zoom in: Washington, D.C. (79.5%), Minnesota (75.9%) and Oregon (75.3%) had the largest shares of voting-age citizens participating in the 2024 election. Arkansas (52.8%), Texas (57.9%) and Louisiana (58%) had the lowest. Between the lines: Lack of participation doesn't necessarily imply voter apathy. Some want to vote but are unable due to work, health issues, etc. The big picture: American presidential elections come down to a handful of "battleground states." That creates a sense among other voters that their ballot doesn't matter — at least for the presidential contest. Yes, but: There are typically still plenty of down-ballot candidates and measures even for those living elsewhere. The bottom line: U.S. voter turnout hasn't cracked 70% since the dawn of the 20th century — and if this past election couldn't do it, it may never happen again.

Just look what his conflicting comments...

#Trump recently (see article) has denied the people AND govt elected officers in #Arkansas $9 million (NOT Billion) in #FEMA aid.

#KristiNoem wants to close down FEMA and they are willing to loose #MAGA voters.... aw.. just kidding, they will vote RED.

Or... will the #Midterms Nov 2026 be the anvil that broke the #republicanparty ⁉️

Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders (R-Ark.) requested help for people who were impacted by the mid-March tornadoes, some of the state’s worst since 1997. The Trump administration denied Sanders’s request for funding through the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). She wrote again to Trump to appeal the denial. In a letter, signed by both Arkansas senators and its four representatives, the lawmakers asked Trump to reconsider. “As Governor Sanders noted in her request, these storms caused catastrophic damage across the state, resulting in disastrous amounts of debris, widespread destruction to homes and businesses, the deaths of three Arkansans, and injuries to many more,” the lawmakers wrote. They noted that just weeks later, the state was hit with another round of severe storms, including a “generational flood event” that compounded damage for many of the same counties and included three more deaths. “Given the cumulative impact and sheer magnitude of destruction from these severe weather events, federal assistance is vital to ensure that state and local communities have the capabilities needed to rebuild,” the lawmakers said. The Arkansas delegation said a preliminary assessment of damage had an estimated cost of $8.8 million and asked that Sanders’s request for a 30-day extension on submitting a disaster declaration be granted. The state needs additional time to conduct analysis on the damage in 63 of its 75 counties.
The damage by Nature is just as bad as the Trump Administration

#Trump absolutely hated the #CHIPS act for two reasons. 1. #Biden did it. 2. It worked.
So of course he wanted to nuke it. Same thing with #Obamacare

The #MAGA goal was to make people ⭕perceive Congress AND Biden were doing ZERO ACTION.
So anything Trump does as President is "good" even, raising costs from #tariffs

⭕But we WILL ACT, this Nov 2026 in the #midterms

@MJmusicinears

A BBC 4 reporter found that the reason #Trump and #rightwingmedia can keep doing nothing positive is bc #MAGA folks ⭕perceived Congress AND Biden as doing ZERO ACTION. So... anything Trump does is "good" ⁉️ Even raising costs from #tariffs? But we will SEE this Nov 2026 in the #midterms

⭕️Story 1 is reveling, in a MAGA area of Ohio, the Union Steel Workers are alcoholics. The people are happy that the TARIFFS are at least some change, some action.

⭕NEXT post has the AUDIO

BBC 4 (April 12 2025) ⭕(1) President Trump’s decision to impose huge tariffs across the world drew ire from Wall Street financiers this week - and even members of his own Republican party. But what do his supporters in small-town America think? Mike Wendling travelled to Delta, Ohio, in America's rust belt, where locals have other things on their mind. ⭕(2) In Myanmar the military junta has restricted foreign rescue teams’ access to areas damaged by the recent earthquake - not to mention international media. After entering the country undercover, Yogita Limaye reports from the city of Mandalay, close to the earthquake’s epicentre. ⭕(3) The Dominican Republic announced three days of national mourning this week, after the roof of a popular nightclub collapsed, killing more than two hundred people. Will Grant visited the scene in the capital Santo Domingo, where an investigation is now under way as to what caused the collapse.
⭕(4) Since returning to power in Afghanistan, the Taliban have steadily increased restrictions on the country’s citizens and the introduction of a huge CCTV network in the capital Kabul has alarmed human rights groups. The Taliban says it is to combat crime, but Mahjooba Nowrouzi says there is unease over what else might be under surveillance. ⭕(5) The battle for dominance in the electric car market is in full swing, but the EV evolution has been a long time in the making, as Sara Wheeler discovered when she stumbled across one of the world’s first mass-produced models on the Greek island of Syros.

@pliny

Fuck #Schumer

Nobody is normalizing or accepting Schumer the spineless turd

The problem is arguments to not #vote and give us #Trump

That choice matters more than your point

Meanwhile, until #midterms #midterms2026, we #primaries2026 the fuck out of these centrist milquetoast centrist corporatist shit dems

And if someone doesn't vote in the #primaries?

Then they can shut the fuck up because actions speak louder than words on their supposed ideals

Show the fuck up #America

Donald Trump Issued Impeachment Warning

newsweek.com/donald-trump-issu

Well, meanwhile, if Trump and the Republicans keep shooting in their own foot, midterms have a good chance to change the scenario completely.
Trump needs to be impeached and removed for the chaos and treasonous policies he is imposing to the USA and to the Western world. Simply criminal.

We seem to have landed in "The Apprentice - the final season", with no way to leave...

more thoughts on #trump from ugo bardi

(who is still being a antivaxxer and i have still beef with 😒 )

but what he has to say on this is still worth thinking about.

he is the fast-#collapse-of-#complexity-guy

i strongly agree with him , the #midterms are a huge leverage point no one seems to have on the radar.

"both sides the same"

"i oddly focus on only one issue where #Democrats aren't perfect"

"nothing matters, all is #corruption"

@virbonus @georgetakei

Agreed, that's why we need to be having conversations with the people who can become educated.

I've seen a large number of people saying they would not have voted fro #Trump is they knew what was coming.

Some die hard #MAGA will never change but we don't need to change everyone's minds, just enough to block Trump's initiatives by changing the congressional balance in the coming special #elections and #midterms.

Of course election denier liar Speaker Mike Johnson is living in the $3.7 million DC home of an election-denying, policy-driving "evangelical pastor who has attacked the separation of church and state as 'a delusional lie' and called multinational institutions 'demonic'"'...
