Our democracy and humanity are falling! And, from what I am seeing, the dems aren't raising much of a stink. No one is! I know dems are not in power but they still have a voice. They need to be shouting to the media outlets about how wrong it is what Trump's administration (might as well call it what it is, Project 2025) is doing to our country! If they are already shouting, I sure am not hearing it!
Good doesn't always win!

I think the democrats feel, think by letting Trump be Trump that will eventually turn the masses against him. Harris made that mistake during her campaign, she thought not being Trump was enough to win the election. She was proved wrong. Outside of shouting as you put it, the democrats are in a position where they can’t do anything about Trump. Would shouting help? With the election done and over with, most have turned away from politics onto other things and won’t be paying much attention to politics, Trump in particular until the next election nears. This is just the way it is and has been. You have your 10-15% of political junkies who constantly pay attention and then the rest who pay little to no attention unless something happens that affects them that they don’t like.
Americans, most Americans are notorious to how little they pay attention to politics, the workings of their government. You’d be surprised at how many Americans don’t know who their governor is, who their representative is or who their senators are. Even less know which party controls congress. Four times as many people knew who won last years super bowl than knew who their governor was.
It's high past time that we start electing Americans to congress and the presidency who put America first instead of their political party. For way too long we have been electing Republicans and Democrats who happen to be Americans instead of Americans who happen to be Republicans and Democrats.

Looking at the number’s election day vs. today. Trump’s job approval vs. the percentage of votes received. https://www.realclearpolling.com/polls/approval/donald-trump/approval-ratingTrump approval and disapproval numbers almost exactly match those who voted for and against him. 49.2% approve, 49.8% voted for Trump, 47.8% disapprove, 48.3% voted against him or for Harris not counting those who voted against both by casting a ballot for a third-party candidate. How about those who see Trump either favorably or unfavorably today vs. his vote total from November. https://www.realclearpolling.com/polls/favorability/donald-trump47.9% of all Americans have a favorable view of Trump, 49.8% voted for Trump, 48.7% view Trump unfavorably, 48.3% voted for Harris. Not quite as close as is Trump’s job approval/disapproval, but still very close to being about as close a match as one could expect to get. It's a case of good news/bad news. The bad news is Trump hasn’t lost any support from November to today, after one month in office. The good news; Trump hasn’t gained any new support, he’s almost exactly where he was back on 5 Nov 2024. Everything Trump has done so far, it hasn’t increased or decreased his popularity or overall job approval. We’re just as evenly divided as a nation today when it comes to Trump as we were back on election day.
