EXCERPT… Trump’s second term was always whether he would bully the country into an effective monarchy, or fall prey to the laws of political gravity.
I’m taking a pundit risk by saying that we now have that answer, after one month in office: Trump’s cooked.
His failure has followed the usual direction of political overreach. Brave dissidents from the political opposition, corporate America, or his own coalition didn’t suddenly rise to the challenge. It started from the bottom up, as the governed gradually but definitively withdrew their consent, giving space for those we somehow call “leaders” to distance themselves.

Riiiiight. And your NEW 5-year success plan for the country is what, comrade?

Originally commented by u/sendmeadoggo on 2025-02-25 09:16:34 AM(mepcy94)Some of the claims in the article just aren’t true, Trump’s approval ratings have never been higher.
The only way to amend these issues is to be loud and grassroots explain what is happening to the people around you. Whatever was happening before clearly wasn’t working. People are completely unaware or uninterested in serious legal matters.

Originally commented by u/Then_Bother9169 on 2025-02-25 09:23:05 AM(mepe400)This article reads like propaganda.
“Trump failed.”
…. Uh, he’s barely getting started. Can’t trick us with this complacency bullshit.

The pressure is not enough yet. We can’t stop. We need larger push back, more folks awakened to his actions beyond the fox news spin.
One month in is like 1 out in the first inning of this 9 inning, 4 year long presidency.

Originally commented by u/HaywoodBlues on 2025-02-25 09:18:18 AM(mepd9ay)Thank you! It helps to know the world is watching and supporting us!
Originally commented by u/Then_Bother9169 on 2025-02-25 09:23:55 AM(mepe9d1)That’s good news! Watching from Australia and it’s sad seeing America being under these creeps! I really hope you can get him out and the nicer leaders back! I like most Americans except for the Orange Stain and his supporters.
I’ll keep hoping for the best.

Originally commented by u/camwal on 2025-02-25 09:16:57 AM(mepd0r7)This is tangible, you can see the movement shifting. I think Ukraine has been the catalyst. The federal gutting is repulsive, obviously, Trump is awful everything, all the time. But Europe uniting in spite of the US is a game changer. This is foreshadowing of WWIII, people know it and people have zero patience for it.
Originally commented by u/GawkerRefugee on 2025-02-25 09:16:45 AM(mepczek)This is an encouraging article, but it does clearly state at the end that this is not a call to stand down, that we must keep pushing forward. Great job, folks! Let’s keep at it.
