Trump didn't do fuck all to get a ceasefire. The Biden admin negotiated it for months, but Israel held off right until the end (ala Reagan and Iran). Now that trump is in and removing all sanctions and weapon blocks, Israel is right back at "operations" in Gaza. Just remember that everything that happens from here on out should be hung around your neck and other Trump voters / sit it out voters. There's never been a peaceful way out of fascism.

I don't have a list, but here's 5 of them.

"Thank you. My heart goes out to you. It is thanks to you that the future of civilization is assured, thanks to you." - Elon Musk

Then he did the seig heil salute. Just in case people are still confused, here's Hitler's own words from Mein Kampf on saving civilization.

"All the great civilizations of the past became decadent because the originally creative race died out, as a result of contamination of the blood." - Hitler

I for one, hope to see the guillotine make a surprise return. It worked for the French.

Now the trumpet summons us again — not as a call to bear arms, though arms we need; not as a call to battle, though embattled we are — but a call to bear the burden of a long twilight struggle, year in and year out, "rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation" — a struggle against the common enemies of man: tyranny, poverty, disease, and war itself.

...

And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you — ask what you can do for your country.

JFK

I admit I just don't see a path forward.

Is inflation the reason they're upset at Democrats? The US had one of the lowest rates of inflation amongst the G7 (especially with food). Corporate greed drove much of the increase. Republicans are intent on removing any possible regulation that protects consumers, Democrats did what they could via the FTC, since they didn't have enough senate seats to pass any meaningful regulatory laws.

Is wage inequality the reason? Reaganomics is the primary reason for that, Republicans have been blocking every possible improvement for it via control of the senate and the filibuster.

Is it Israel? Certainly I can see that one, but Republicans have been responsible for devastating Iraq and Afghanistan, and will probably walk us into a conflict with Iran.

What messaging can the democrats do that would overcome the unrelenting right wing propaganda machines? What policies can they adopt that they don't already have? I just don't see a way to reach voters like the ones in this article.

This is incorrect.

the updated budget in November saw a $53 million increase over the previous year once the council took into account the department's unappropriated balance calculation, which provides funds after the budget is approved.
