PISSED

Finally,  Pissed — And We Should Be

It’s about time. Gavin Newsom is pissed. And the truth is, we ought to be just as furious.

For years, a cabal of right-wing ideologues, billionaires, and self-anointed “intellectuals” has been scheming to dismantle our democracy. They finally found their front man in Donald Trump, an ignorant grifter, an amoral con artist, the absolute worst kind of person imaginable to hold authority in this country. And they made him president.

This man, who knows nothing, understands nothing, cares about nothing but himself, has strutted across the stage pretending to be king. He is no king. He is a fraud. And yet here we are, watching him dictate policy, destroy institutions, and corrupt a nation while his enablers cheer.

We Should Be Pissed

We’ve been far too patient. Far too polite. Far too willing to excuse, delay, or hope someone else would solve this nightmare. But Gavin Newsom has it right: it’s time to get pissed.

Pissed that our democracy is being stolen in broad daylight.
Pissed that we allowed a fascist movement to rise while too many shrugged.
Pissed that a con man has been elevated into a would-be dictator.

This is not business as usual. This is not everyday politics. This is a fascist power grab—planned, organized, and executed step by step.

No More Excuses

The time for hand-wringing is over. The time for hoping it will pass is over. The time for speeches, hearings, and polite debates has ended.

We must stop Trump and stop this fascist movement, no matter what it takes. Rip it out by the roots. Confront the oligarchs and the think-tank cowards hiding behind Trump’s bluster while he carries out their Hitler-esque plan.

This will not be easy. It has been building for decades and will take years to reverse. But the first step is clear: get rid of Trump, get rid of this movement, and refuse to accept one more day of their poison in our democracy.

Gavin’s Anger Is the Spark

Anger, when channeled, is power. Gavin Newsom’s fury is righteous and contagious. He is calling out what so many have whispered: that Trump is unfit, dangerous, and backed by a fascist right-wing theocracy determined to end freedom as we know it.

If Gavin is pissed, so should we be because this fight is not his alone. It belongs to all of us who still believe in democracy, liberty, and justice.

Trump is not a bad dream. He is not a fantasy. He is real, and so is the fascist movement behind him. But so too is our anger, resolve, and ability to stop it.

Get pissed. Stay pissed. And fight.
