Couldn’t agree more. I’ve been hearing firsthand from rural Americans across the country (many of them Trump voters) who are now facing devastating impacts from his funding freeze and DOGE cuts. Some farmers are on the brink of losing their land, rural businesses are struggling to stay afloat, and entire communities are feeling the ripple effects. Their stories need to be heard, and amplifying them is crucial for countering the spectacle with real human experiences.

The Democratic Party is proving itself to be ineffective in protecting our country from the coup that’s happening. It’s time for some Capitol Hill soul searching and some new strategies that include helping ordinary people to see the repercussions of the oligarchs and their takeover. It’s also time to stop ineffective attempts at haranguing the opposing party, and to begin trying to find commonality, and to remind lawmakers and their constituents what they are also losing as they let our liberties burn to the ground. There’s that saying about catching more flies with honey…
