Summary
On the War Room podcast, right-wing hosts Natalie Winters and Steve Bannon discussed plans for MAGA supporters to act as “shock troops on the streets” to support Trump’s proposed mass deportations of undocumented immigrants.
Winters argued for a broad removal of immigrants beyond just criminals, framing it as essential to the MAGA agenda.
Bannon praised her view and suggested Trump should target the estimated 11-15 million migrants who entered during Biden’s term.
Both hosts emphasized mobilizing their audience to back this agenda both in public and within the administration.
If the DNC was thinking ahead even the slightest bit, they’d be planning to do everything they can to publicize the impact Trump’s policies are having in real-time. Getting messaging out to everyone who is negatively impacted every time Trump does something, making sure they understand exactly what is happening, and why, would be a lot more effective than their usual strategy of doing nothing until a few months before an election then trying to convince people who’ve been told for years that democrats are the devil that Trump has been hurting them.
Contact these people personally. “Hi - Trump’s policies mean you will no longer be covered by the ACA; here’s some information on other, far worse and more expensive, insurance options. This is how much this is likely to cost you. Please contact your representative if you find this to be distressing.”
Time to keep our powder dry. Nixon in '72 and Reagan in '84 both won bigger victories than Trump did last week, but both were brought low within 2 years. Nixon was out of a job. So never lose hope!
And then we have Vance waiting in the wings with the rest of the heritage foundation fascists.
I don’t think 72 and 84 are good comparisons. By 86, Reagan was well into dementia. Nixon resigned before being impeached or criminally charged.
Trump’s accelerating personality disorder will prevent him from resigning. He’ll just lash out with greater and greater misplaced vengeance.
If his lashing starts to threaten Republicans, they might consider ousting him before he can start doing things they consider to be real damage. We can hope.
We can prepare to resist.
Needs to be a running social media account like when they live tweeted WWI and WWII.
When they go low, we so high that no one can see us 👋
