Last Tuesday, the Country Gave the Middle Finger to Donald Trump and His Project 2025 Fascist Brand

Cartoon from Adam Zyglis

In a stinging rebuke of Donald Trump and his Project 2025 Fascist Brand, Democratic candidates, both base progressive and pragmatic progressive, across the country defeated MAGA supporting Republicans in every major contest.

In Virginia, Abigail Spanberger, by a wide margin, won the Governors Race. The Democratic Lieutenant Governor (Ghazala Hashmi) and Attorney General (Jay Jones) also won. Hashmi is the first Muslim woman candidate in the country to win statewide office. 

The Democrats in Virginia also expanded their margins in the Virginia House of Delegates.

In New Jersey, Mikie Sherrill easily prevailed to become the Governor-Elect in a race that many thought would be more of a nail biter. It was not. She pummeled her opponent. 

In New York, Zohran Mamdani crushed former Governor Andrew Cuomo in the New York City's Mayor Race.

In Pennsylvania, voters retained three State Supreme Court Justices, allowing Democrats to hold their three seat majority on that judicial body.

In California, voters passed Proposition 50 which would mandate the redrawing of the state's congressional districts as a counter to what Texas did last summer. 

In Georgia, two Democratic candidates for the Georgia Utility Public Services Commission, won elections to that bodyfor the first time in 25 years. 

In Maine, voters said no to voter id requirements, tougher absentee voting guidelines, and ballot drop box restrictions. 

They also said yes to giving judges in that state the power to take away firearms from violent people. 

In Colorado, voters to decided to retain a tax revenue measure that paid for children's free meals in state wide K-12 schools. 

Looks like enacting policies like price raising tariffs, kidnapping innocent people off the street without warrants, spiking the price of health insurance rates, giving Argentina $40 billion while cutting the American social safety net, demolishing the East Wing of the White House, having Gatsby style parties at Mara Largo while people starve, trying to rig elections, pass tax cuts for billionaires, postponing/cancelling infrastructure and clean energy job creating projects, and shutting down the federal government, did not appeal to the great majority of voters across the country.

Surprise Surprise. 

Tonight, the majority of the country gave a collective middle finger to Trump and Project 2025 Fascism. 

A great victory for Democracy. 

The people did their part. 

Onto to 2026 and 2028. 

While Trump Naps and Golfs, His Injustice Department Celebrates a Supreme Court Delay in Feeding People

In a normal world, government leaders would do everything possible in their power to make sure the people they lead are taken care of.

Not with Marie 'Let Them Starve' Donald Trump.

While the American Duce Wannabe, Felon in Chief, Twice Impeached, 34 Time Convicted, and Head Scrooge flew off to Mara Largo to nap, golf, and throw more Gatsby-Gilded Age events for the rich and shameless and send the bill back to the federal government, his Injustice Department led by Pam 'I serve Trump and Qatar,' Bondi celebrated a Supreme Court pause on a First Circuit Appeals Court ruling ordering the Project 2025 regime to follow an earlier District Court ruling to release funds to the SNAP program so 42 million Americans, including millions of children do not starve during the month of Thanksgiving. 

In a post from Bondi, she wrote:

She is truly white trash and beneath contempt. 

Only with Donald Trump would an American President declare war on the poor. 

The two day Administrative Stay/Delay from the United States Supreme Court by Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson of all people was justified by her writing the First Circuit Appeal Division needed to formalize their opinion in why it wanted the Trump Project 2025 Regime to follow the District Court Ruling. 

While this writer is not at all familiar with all the legal intricacies that go into these type of decisions from members of the High Court, with all respect to Justice Jackson who is a pillar for social justice causes 99.9 percent of the time, how out of touch is that for her or any other Supreme Court Justice who does not have to worry about going hungry? 

People are starving and she wants the First Circuit to make sure they dot their I's and cross their t's. 

Then again, it takes a special kind of low grade bastards to cruelly take their case up the judicial flag pole to ask for permission to delay payments to food assistance programs and let people starve and go hungry.

Reacting the Bondi celebration/dancing in the street post about the Supreme Court delaying the feeding of hungry people, Arizona Senator Ruben Gallego wrote: 

"Congrats on stopping SNAP payments to hungry Americans. Glad that President Trumps agenda of starvation is working out for you."

Representative-Elect Adelita Grijalva, who has not been sworn in yet after 44 days because House Speaker Mike 'Donald Trump is my God' Johnson is more interested in protecting his masters association with pedophile Jeffrey Epstein than swearing her in, also wrote on Trump going to the Supreme Court to delay feeding people:

"This is disturbing - although not surprising - for an administration that is so far detached from the cost of living crisis millions of Americans face."

Representative Greg Stanton offered on Trump and Bondi's cruelty towards the nations most vulnerable, including millions of children:

"Federal courts ordered Trump to pay full SNAP benefits for November. Instead of releasing funds for the millions of kids, veterans and families who rely on SNAP, he's appealing the ruling. Unbelievably cruel."

While people want an efficient cost effective government, they do not want it on the backs of people who need help to put food on the table, send their children to Head Start Pre Schools, or those who are forced to make the sometimes fateful choice of paying for the rent over the monthly medications.

While people want a safe society, they do not want pedophiles protected or masked secret police Gestapo-ICE agents pulling people off the streets and even their places of work like pre schools or court appointments without warrants or due process and shoved in domestic concentration camps.

While people want prices to go down, they do want tariffs that raise costs on groceries or the abandonment of clean energy projects that reduce monthly utility bills. 

And they definitely do not want leaders who party like the Roaring Twenties (which led to the Great Depression) and demolish the White House to create a ballroom that they will never visit. 

Voters showed on November 4 what they think of Trump's Project 2025 agenda and no amount of MAGA gerrymandering for the 2026 ones will stop them from showing how they feel when they drive every swing district MAGA-Trump-Project 2025 supporting Republican out of office.

Stay Tuned.
