I do find the senior level MAGA people to be the most repugnant people I have ever seen in my entire life. And I was in government for 30 years and saw my share, but none come close to this sordid crew.
Take Kristi Noem, for example. She never lost an election in South Dakota. What could people there see as a societal benefit for her to represent them? I ask this question a lot these days because I feel like an outsider in this country.
ICE Barbie is evil and deranged. I saw one of her campaign ads in which she blows away a mourning dove with a gun. To prove she is "tough", I guess. Then of course, there is the dog who she killed. Too bad the prisoners in El Salvador couldn't get their hands on her. That would have been something else.
Pam Bondi is a dimwitted terrorist; a profound constitutional “rapist;” she is a threat to decency and civilized society - likewise are Patel, Noem, Miller, Leavitt, Rubio, Vance, Trump …
They are cult members which qualified them for this government. That is where u have to start in understanding them. They are thus dangerous because they have singular motivation. The good news is that they are not at all capable of doing well in the jobs they hold. Mistakes help weaken the Regime.
I just wrote (yet again) to Schumer and Jeffries (he's actually my representative) that their only task is to stop the anti-democratic nominees and legislation and help galvanize the country against Trump and his minions. As citizens we need to begin to take a page from the Radical Abolitionists of pre-Civil War America. This country cannot endure 4 years of Trump.
"Americans had best wake up, because as the administration fails and Donald Trump gets weaker, the danger of his misconduct and insanity will grow."
There are very few people writing or posting or who are on cable shows that are stating our situation as clearly as Steve. This has to be seen by a America. Is there any way to get his content in front of a larger audience?
I so agree with everything you say that it becomes impossible for me to even look at all my neighbors who posted his flags and signs for months (some still there) before the election. I have zero desire to converse with them because they are wholly who they professed to be: MAGAs through and through. There is no common ground, I will not change their thinking. I have nothing but resentment and angst toward them all.
They live around me, but they are not my friends. They are not my neighbors. They are the low info, conspiracy laden fringe, inhabiting my surroundings, drones who can't think clearly or for themselves, lemmings gleefully running for the cliffs and cheering wildly as they go over, wearing their red hats and waving their Don the Con with bloodied ear flags in our faces.
And drag me and the rest of us "libitards" with them. I loathe them. It is intolerable.
Good summary, worth repeating. The more cornered Donald Trump gets, the more dangerous he will get. If he didn't have so many followers, it would only be annoying to watch him. If he activates a million followers, then you will need to stay aware. Hopefully they will burn themselves out before too many people get hurt or before they cause to much damage. Too many people hear Fox News as the truth and therefore believe they are righteous (common sense, ha).
Great commentary as always Steve. All his ravings get worse by the day. While most on the left/Progressive side are aware of these many dangers and some on the right i.e. the Never Trumpers have joined us, what's it going to take for the REST of the Country to finally wake UP?!
Every time I think another line has been crossed and think THIS is going to do it. I thought for sure the Abrego Garcia case would finally be the tipping point. But no. They loved it. And on and on. As the rest of us keep fighting, organizing and attending protests, calling and writing our Reps etc. Where in God's name do we go from here?!?!?! 💔🇺🇸💙🙏
Steve S. - Every word to be heeded as usual, but the points of a cornered animal/dog and a media who acts like fire captain ordering his men to contain only the perimeter of a fire thinking it won't get out of control, are the warnings of The Warning. When dictators feel threatened they often start internal wars on any "home-grown" opposition (already underway on many of the fronts you covered), and if that doesn't work, there is usually a real war they can start to keep power (even if they have to provoke or invent an American version of Oct. 7 -- they certainly have the professional liars and tentacles of the entire government to do that). The positives are people like you and others on Substack highlighting and reporting daily on all the lives threatened, and unfortunately the economic bodies that will soon come out of this American bonfire. Keep up the great work!
Steve, I wish there were more people cutting through the bullshit. Your call to action needs to be heeded before it is too late to save America. The US is being openly raped, pillaged and given the middle finger by Trump’s criminal regime. The corruption is blatant. Individual freedoms and rights are being dismantled at record speed. You have a traitor for president, who is unquestionably in bed with Putin, but is also allowing the digital enslavement of every citizen to Yarvin worshipping parasites Vance, Thiel and Musk. Your wanna-be monarch and his cabal needs to be exiled, but neither Congress nor bi-weekly protests will achieve America’s salvation from ruin.
Yes to all of this! Do any dems in government that listen to your channel? I’m always curious if they get any info that you share. They really need to hear you.

We’re safer and most dignified without them

Nor can they endure four more years of Schumer, whose grit is scattered too, too thin, venal, opportunistic. Always opportunistic.
I hear you. I hope AOC primaries him
Trump cannot endure the idea that he will leave voluntarily. He will go out swinging. We have to make sure we do all we can to get him to go asap.
That meme coin grift is some of the most brazen corruption I have ever witnessed. Makes George Santos and Bob Menendez look like rank amateurs.
The bottom line: "This is an ethical apocalypse." Thank you Steve Schmidt!🥊🥊❤️🥊🥊

I wish it were so.
“As the tyrant looses power, his grip tightens.” Yes, this is a dangerous time and I am deeply grateful for, The Warning.
If only he were merely inept.

I’m a liberal from Berkely.
And I say Steve Schmidt for President!
