So what are people going to do here about Trumps nominees?

Does anyone notice a pattern??? Concerning nominees for powerful posts who could possibly be blackmailed (why do so many have sex abuse/drug use allegations?: Secretary of Defense, Attorney General Director of National Intelligence, Elon Musk and other oligarchs recommending where to make cuts to budgets, Project 2025 - suggests making drastic cuts -such as eliminating Medicaid, getting rid of the ACA. Making cuts to Social Security and Medicare? More crackdowns on women’s healthcare, the Supreme Court being taken over by a bunch of right wingers who made the President immune? Putins influence in the Republican Party. Dozens of people here are trying to downplay all of this - even comparing Trump to Nixon - saying that he is simply a “prankster.”

What I plan to do is to make as many people aware of all this, get more of it out into the media, get it out to people who have voices. Calling politicians. And no, I am not usually an alarmist- I usually roll my eyes at a lot of the conspiracy theories.

1. Someone on DU called him a prankster?

2. There was a thread saying people here were too alarmist. People were saying

“We made it through Nixon.” Compared to what is going on with Trump, Putin, etc. Nixon was a “dirty trickster” who just wanted to get re-elected for 4 more years, not ally with Russians, destroy democracy.

3. I'm going to regroup

start making an effort to be more social and get off the internet. Not a damn thing I can do about the assholes in D.C., but my town, my state? Here I can help, just being me.
