People are getting angrier and angrier

[JPPaverage]

I just came from filling the gas tank on my vehicle and a guy was saying that we'd better get our tanks filled before the prices skyrocket. Another guy said "That damned fool in the Whotr House ain't gonna make it any better." And a young woman said "Fuck him!". And yesterday I had to take my daughter to a couple of appointments and we decided to stop at a local convenience store to get a couple of slices of pizza. I was waiting for her to get a pop and there was a guy talking on his phone saying that "He's illegally invading Iran. I don't like trump." He then looked at me and said. "Sorry but that's how I feel." I told him he didn't have to apologize to me because I felt the same way. I'm telling you, people out here in the heartland are getting pissed off. And I think if the repukes try to steal the next elections there will be an uprising like we've never seen in our lives.

1. The MSM is selling something different.

[snot]

3. The media I listen to,

which is mostly public radio including the BBC, have time after time failed to call politicians to strict account for their destruction of the public weal in numerous areas, especially including the regulation of Wall St. & other commercial activity, health care, and these endless, thuggish interventions into other countries' governance.

It's helped pave the way for Trump's predations.

[MW67]

5. They are trying to

But I don't think they have many buyers, most people don't trust them anymore, for good reason, I think the next Democrat President should act on that to vastly restructure regulations and laws pertaining to Corporate mass media, something along the lines of, if you deliberately use the airwaves to knowingly sell disinformation and falsehoods as legitimate news journalism, your licence are pulled

[Joinfortmill]

36. They suck, but this may lull Donald & his cronies into complacency

VOTE

[Cosmocat]

43. Yep

nm

[markie]

2. righteous anger!

I still can't wrap my head around the few trump signs I see out there... I can't figure out what is wrong with the people who still support his madness... driving to work today I saw more than what I'd like (north of Baltimore) gas is up 40 cents

[Emile]

33. I'm seeing a lot less Trump flags in my red area.

I think people are starting to catch on about the conman in the White House.

[Ray Bruns]

42. "can't figure out what is wrong with the people who still support his madness"

Because it’s a cult. I would just like to fast forward to the kool aid drinking.

[JT45242]

45. Because he makes hatred acceptable -- KKK and neoNazi talking points are no longer hush hush

The other piece is that he gives them targets to blame for their situation that are "others" and not "wannabe"

They "wannabe" rich and powerful like Mango on the apprentice. He and all teh hate talk radio, Faux News, etc tell them to blame ...the gays, the Jews, the blacks, affirmative action, the libtards, the Muslims .. for them not being super wealthy. Better to blame an other than accept that you are dumb, lazy, or both.

Try to explain to them that Affirmative Action or Equal Employment Opportunity Act just say that whomever you hire/admit must meet minimum requirements. That means that an unqualified connected straight white dude cannot get hired over a qualified person no matter what group that might be hated they are in. It is supposed to prevent nepo-babies and connections in the old boys network from getting positions that they are not qualified for.

They ignore that MUST BE QUALIFIED for.

The reality is that they should be hating the uberrich superpowerfil white billionaire class who have stolen from them since 1980. But, a lot easier to blame the other than what you aspire to be.

[Wednesdays]

4. "That damned fool in the Whotr House ain't gonna make it any better."

You misspelled Whore House.

[rzemanfl]

7. LOL.

[buzzycrumbhunger]

29. That confuzzled me, too!

[JPPaverage]

37. Lol

I meant to say White House but I guess whore house is apt. I need to do a better job proofreading.

[Kid Berwyn]

41. Works perfectly both ways for what Drumpf is doing to the country.

Thank you for sharing. I’m in Michigan and it’s getting difficult to find a trumpie, apart from places that run Fox TV all day and there are a lot fewer of them these days.

Hope we get rid of Trump before he gets rid of us.

[surfered]

6. Gasoline, where it's locally produced oil and locally refined, was $2.37 a couple of weeks ago.

Then it went to $2.62. Today it was $2.99.

[ToxMarz]

11. When everyone starts seeing a price that's starts with $3.

That's when they really take notice. It's going there, ours was $2.57 the day after he went to war, yesterday I saw it was $2.89.

[MichMan]

16. It was over $3 for 5 years from 2021-2025 though

[ToxMarz]

24. Yeah, and they bitched about it from 2021-2025 and elected Trump

Am I missing something?

[Jack Valentino]

32. Yes, here in mid-Michigan it's only very rarely been below that---

ironically, it WAS a little below that locally, just before Trump started his Epstein files war!

[Cosmocat]

44. For some reason gas is always higher in our area than most anywhere else in the state

But, in our little town there is one dumpy convenience store that has had cash prices a LOT lower than anywhere else.

It has been solidly $2.85 (at least 25 cents lower than anywhere else) for months now.

Popped to $2.99 two nights ago ...

[live love laugh]

8. "... if the repukes try to steal the next elections there will be an uprising like we've never seen in our lives."

An “uprising” on the internet no doubt … 🙄

[SheltieLover]

9. But are magats connecting the dots between tsf and ALL repukes?

[Lonestarblue]

14. Have they ever connected the dots on anything? They are not people who bother to find out the truth.

[SheltieLover]

17. Not that I know of. Who is going to tell them.

[aeromanKC]

10. It's not just the WH.

It's also Congress. Even our House. (We're looking at you Fetterman. Your next primary can't come soon enough!!)

[Emile]

12. I had another Vietnam vet come up

to me today in Walmart. He says I see your cap that you were in the Navy. He goes on about being in the navy too, and his tour in Vietnam. I told him a little about my navy history too. Then out of the clear blue he says, what do I think of that draft dodger starting a war in Iran. My wife standing next to me pipes up and tells this stranger that we hate that SOB. We stood there talking about bone spurs, etc etc for around 30 minutes. This actually happened today in RED INDIANA.

[BigmanPigman]

13. I know how much people in San Diego hate him...

I made 2 sided earrings in 2016 and have worn only them from 2016-2020 and 2024-now. I couldn't wear them during Covid since the mask's straps got tangled in my earrings.

On one side is a picture of tRump behind bars in jail and the other side is a red circle with a slash through TRUMP. I use them as a personal, informal poll. People love them and take pictures of them. About 2 weeks ago I got 5 compliments within 15 minutes of wearing them while doing errands. People at my local stores know me through my earrings. One day last weak I felt like a cold was starting and wore my Covid mask and left the earrings at home. I was asked twice where my earrings were.

I made tiny tRump pins that are Russian nesting dolls with crazy eyes on an image of his ranting orange face and yellow hair. Sometimes if someone compliments my earrings I give them a pin to "spread the word".

[Scrivener7]

27. I have had an "ICE OUT" button on the strap of every purse I carry. It's very noticeable, and I often forget I'm

wearing it and wonder why people are being so nice to me.

On one walk from the supermarket to my car on a rainy day last week, a man gave me a thumbs up and a woman asked if I wanted her to walk me to my car with her umbrella!

[BigmanPigman]

31. Yes, YOU know what I'm talking about first hand!

Doesn't it make you feel good and empowered?! Sometimes it's the little things that make a difference.

[peppertree]

47. Sounds like the only ones who still "like" Needy Amin, are right-wing Argentines - and of course, genocidal Likudniks

About the only people he ever seems to move a finger for.

[Sogo]

15. I knew you were from the "heartland," because you said your daughter was getting a "pop."

38. Born in Illinois

Raised, and still live in Iowa.

[Cha]

18. Yesterday as I walked by.. Gas was $4.80 something on

Kauai. 'Course it's always Normally higher but it Went UP!

And, apparently PEDO Traitor is just getting started.

TY for your OP!

[mountain grammy]

19. And Israelis hate Netanyahu

And yet here we are

[blue-wave]

20. I remember a story

my father, a great depression-era baby, once told me. He said in the 1932 election in his neighborhood every house had a Roosevelt sign except for one. They had a Hoover sign. Needless to say, the family in this one house was outcast by everyone in the neighborhood.

I sense the same thing happening again. The MSM media speculates that the democrats will likely take the house in congress. The senate, they say, is much closer. I don't believe it for a microsecond. People are fed up and tired of the lies. The lies about war, the lies about Epstein, the lies about inflation, the lies about unemployment and the list goes on. This all in just under a year and a half. They are saying "enough is enough!"

Top it off with what ICE is doing and people are livid. I watched a recent clip of a republican senator from North Carolina ripping Noem a new one for the gross misconduct and unconstitutional actions against American citizens by ICE. The fury is growing and even huge in some minds on the republican side. This midterm election, if there is no interference allowed, will be monumental for the Democratic Party.

[summer_in_TX]

21. Yeah, I saw that. Thom Tillis speaking with real righteous anger.

He demanded Kristi Noem resign for incompetence. And he''s Republican through and through, wants criminal undocumented folks deported at a much faster rate than she's doing. He's very pro law enforcement, he said, but that is why it ws so important that those who shot Pretti and Good must be held to account and that the orders being given must be lawful orders.

He said he'd read her book last week. He was disgusted with her taking a 14-month old puppy hunting and then shooting him when he got excited and did the wrong thing. Plus then killing a goat. And then acting like doing those was some kind of sign of leadership.

[blue-wave]

22. Yup, that's the guy

He was also furious over the lack of FEMA response in Western North Carolina. MAGA screwed their own people by, shall I say, "playing the fiddle as Rome burned."

[flashman13]

23. You're damn people are pissed. No Kings on March 28th will be a sight to see.

[Callie1979]

25. "I VoTeD FeR ThIs!" they scream. Most of the 30% will never leave him.

A former coworker who unfriended me on FB posts 10+ times a day about how trump is bringing peace to the world & all other such bullshit
Hes 60. I told a friend " How crazy is he gonna be when he's 70??"

[KentuckyWoman]

26. His support here is stronger than ever

The MAGA faithful within 100 miles of Vance's hometown are practically dancing about the prospect of nuking the whole middle east off the planet.

I've given up a few activities that are attended by a few of his mouth breathing idiot supporters.

[lostincalifornia]

28. The proof will be the midterms

[Jim__]

30. Anger is a good start. We need to focus that anger on action.

I believe the only thing that will stop this is the American people taking some action to stop it.

[poozwah]

34. late

this wouldn’t have happened if more americans had been angry in 2024. but nooooooooooo!, they weren’t angry, they were foolish. they succumbed to their prejudices. they, once again, allowed the “peace” guy to fool them while he exploited their ignorance.

[Joinfortmill]

35. GOOD, GOOD, and GOOD!

[OldBaldy1701E]

39. "I think if the repukes try to steal the next elections there will be an uprising like we've never seen in our lives."

Which will be far too late for that. They have already had two years to entrench themselves.

But it is too late already, in my opinion.

(By the way, they are already plotting to steal it and have done things that will make that happen. Deciding to act once the enemy is in position and holds all of the cards is pretty damned silly.)

[cab67]

40. Remember the line from the 1992 elections?

"It's the economy, stupid."

This time around, it'll be "it's the incompetence, stupid."

[Martin68]

46. Thanks for the report. Good to hear.
