Grim Chieftain

(761 posts) Sun Oct 19, 2025, 11:17 AM Sunday

We've had two No Kings marches and millions showed up [View all]

not just here, but across the world. Now what? Is anything going to happen? Will anything change? This cannot go on. We are losing our democracy a day at a time, and Trump's response is to post a vile cartoon video of himself piloting a plane and dropping poop on protesters.

Dear God, what is it going to take to stop this?
