I think the Democrats need to speak up constantly and make sure the general public understands what the Republicans are doing. If the Democrats remain silent, the Republicans will figure out a way to make them take the blame. That's how we got into this mess.

They are about the past - Conservative means back in the day - everything was just glorious for them. And, it is a lie. Hiding from what Conservatism is enormously harmful. Cruelty proves something to them -- something that they have power - that their world is better. I have worked with and for millionaires for decades. Many are actually real decent people, it is just this class of greedy locusts that are causing so much trouble. These people do not understand that more is unacceptable. We may want to go to Mars - maybe later -- I would like to load a rocket and send them off. Like Mrs? Then, go. Now we have a trashy president who only offers trash ideas.

I appreciate all of your reflections and insights.

I just want to add some more men's names to your list of brave men though they may not be in Congress: Chris Murphy, Adam Kitzinger, Glenn Kirschner, Brian Taylor Green, ex-military leaders, DOGE subordinates, and certain department leaders who refused to carry out horrific Cabinet Head commands. I know there are more as well whose exact names I cannot recall.

Don't get me wrong. I'm not hanging all of my hope on the men in this country, but it sure is good to see you and them stepping up to lead, because as much as women can be brave and strong in their convictions, in THIS movement men have the best chance, ultimately, sadly, of being respected, and influenced, by other men. Of course, WE still need and respect every woman's ideas and actions that can also be powerful.

Be well!

Christy 🇺🇲❤️🕊
