    IMO there are two big, fundamental and inherent problems we’re not dealing with.

    1 - Democrats don’t want to do anything, because they want to run against Republicans on this in the fall, midterms and in 2028.

    2 - The folks who voted for Trump in the first place get their news and world view from Fox News and the GOP-aligned media. They aren’t telling the same story.

    Let’s look at the fucking headlines from Fox News right now:

    • Dose of Reality: Trump targets drug prices, pharmaceutical industry with new executive order.
    • Dems defend ‘storming’ of ICE facility - DHS hits back with all the receipts
    • Trump cuts deal with America’s top rival - here’s the fairer playing field the US now has
    • Storm Clouds: Middle Eastern royal offers to donate jump jet to Trump - Dems immediately make move
      • Stovetop

        I think we all thought Rupert Murdoch would just be dead by now and his empire would then begin to crumble. But the man seems to be sustained by hatred and refuses to die.

      you’re forgetting about point #3. all you need to do is watch the commercials on major us ‘news’ stations to figure out who tells the news.
