    Are she and Sanders the only politicians in the United States actively opposing Trump? I keep searching for news of others taking a stand, but it appears only those two are doing so openly.

    Trump has crossed so many lines but I really do not see any outcry, mass resistance or opposition?

      Al Greene, Jasmine Crockett, Tim Walz, and Saikat Chakrabarti. When Trump starts to openly murder American citizens, I expect many fired military leaders will suddenly be leading National Guards.

      Illinois governor JB Pritzker is openly opposing through legislation and trolling. He held a mock press conference stating that Lake Michigan was now Lake Illinois and went to the zoo to negotiate with penguins on tariffs. California governor Gavin Newsom is suing the Trump admin over tariffs.

      There were also coordinated protests across the US a couple weeks ago. Every town hall held by Republicans is a complete zoo, so much so that certain reps fear for their life and have stopped holding them.

      Federal workers are leaking musk directives and doing their best to stall the doge squad.

      Just because Trump hasn’t been removed one way or another from office doesn’t mean that people are doing nothing.

    • Trump has crossed so many lines but I really do not see any outcry, mass resistance or opposition?

      Be mindful not to mistake suppression of dissent with lack of dissent. News media is actively avoiding protests. We’re out there, even if the news cameras aren’t.

      That’s because he controls the media.

      The guy from the Circle Jerks just called for an army of Luigi Mangionis while on stage at Coachella, so there’s that

    • Exactly how are they “opposing Trump.”

      Bernie voting yes on Marco Rubio should be all anyone needs to know about Trump’s “opposition.”

      Seems that way, yes people are starting to protest but not nearly enough, and as another commenter mentioned the media is not covering it, which should surprise no one.

      The Democratic party needs to be laying out the facts when the CiC lies to the people, but nope they seem to be just sitting back sulking saying “see we told you this would happen and since you didn’t vote us in we’re not going to do shit”

      Inappropriate assessment. I fear for everyone’s safety. Constitutional freedoms and the rule of law protected everyone. Removing them is a double edged sword that puts everyone at risk.

        This is as stupid as saying “all lives matter” after seeing a BLM sign.

        Obviously everyone’s safety is at risk right now, and in the near future. The og comment wasn’t saying “screw everyone else, save her!” They were simply wishing for the safety of one of the most outspoken, and therefore vulnerable people actually making a difference in this situation.

            You’re not wrong, but the person responding to you us correct. Both things can be true, but attempting to divert the message waters it down. We’re all in danger and have a fascist MAGA problem. However, AOC is 100% in more danger than the average person in the US. There is no reality where I would be in more danger than AOC is unless in some other reality we swapped places.

            She is openly and vocally speaking out with a position of power and influence.

        Good point… I was under the impression that I was only allowed to fear for one person’s safety at a time 🙄

    are they going to impeach and remove him!!!

    he’s literally violating court orders from unanimous supreme court orders.

    if they don’t impeach, remove, and jail him (I’d rather he be sent to CECOT) they are all complicit.

    Yes AOC, he is. We all know. Some pieces of shit Americans however earnestly did not give a fuck clearly.

    I have nothing to say that’s constructive but I also have nothing to do to fill the void.

    What’s insane is that 99% of their country isn’t agreeing with her lol.

    I’m fully expecting a plant to be elected in 2060. Probably a hydrangea.

        I find banning to be a massive issue with online platforms in general these days. The shit I’ve been banned on Reddit for is wild to me. I’d say it’s about 60% just a disagreement in POV, nothing more. Go to a sub about lawns and tell them grass sucks and it’s just instaban.

        No one wants to hear anything that runs contrary to their beliefs to the point they almost shutdown.

        I can’t feel any of this does any good for our species, but here we are.
