I pretty commonly hear:

• Trump disavowed it
• nobody would be that bad
• you’ve been brainwashed by the media.

Exactly. The problem here isnt that China did something bad; it’s that the US government sabotaged the future prosperity of the US

When you stand on your own you don’t accomplish much beyond your own death. That’s not a worthwhile move for me.

This is a not-so-crazy move in deeply Republican districts, but it requires getting folks to actually show up and vote in Republican primaries

There is a reason unions maintain a strike fund

That was standing against an outside invader. Americans don’t have the same luxury.

I stand on my own and fire a weapon is pretty useless. To actually succeed, I need a lot more people on my side. Enough that we could probably impeach and remove those responsible for this mess.

The problem is a what to actually do. Congress and the courts are controlled by people who largely agree with Project 2025. Most of the American public has no clue that it’s a real thing, and thinks it’s so out there that anybody telling them about it is on LSD and not credible.

It’s a meaningful change from his prior stance that the prisoners would die in CECOT

A lot of engineers don’t realize that there is earned expertise and skill in other fields…or that the consent of the governed matters.

Guiding drones to a target is the killer app for VR headsets

Losing is what scares him.

Democrats respond to public pressure. Create enough, and they will do the right thing.

It’s not just Harvard though, even if they’re taking the lead and getting the headlines

If the Trump/Musk administration actually folded, they’d:

• Restore all funding
• Continue with additional grants for research on the basis of merit, per historical practice
• Stop trying to deport students, staff, and faculty

I don’t see any of those happening yet; just trying to pass blame to lower-ranking officials.

“Nobody” is a very strong word, and simply false

In any case, it’s not the DNC that’s the barrier here; it’s who is actually elected to office

It’s on us to push to make it happen
