The Trump Regime is Collapsing

We will never bow down.

Donald Trump won just 49.81% of the popular vote in the last election, a razor-thin margin against the Vice President of a deeply unpopular administration.

Instead of using his power to serve the people, he has imposed:

• the largest tax hike in American history,

• the largest benefit cut in American history,

• and still managed to add $2 trillion to the national debt in just ten months.

His masked, untrained ICE thugs are harassing, brutalizing, and illegally detaining American citizens. His colossal betrayal around the Jeffrey Epstein affair has erased any illusion that this administration stands against the elite class that has escaped justice for decades.

Now he’s hemorrhaging support, with a national approval rating down to just 38%. But rather than change course from his catastrophic policies, he’s weaponizing the state against his political opponents.

Trump is using our tax dollars to push partisan propaganda. ICE has aired recruitment ads in major cities portraying Democrats as protecting “dangerous illegals,” while government websites and airport displays have carried messages blaming “Radical Left Democrats” for shutdowns.

The Department of Veterans Affairs even used its official email list to send veterans anti-Democrat statements during the funding lapse, clear violations of the Hatch Act’s ban on partisan government messaging.

He is going after the media, museums, universities, law firms, and companies—every institution he does not yet control.

He is militarily occupying “Democratic” cities and calling for the arrest of elected lawmakers, most recently Pritzker and Johnson, not long ago Obama. He is prosecuting his critics, including Bolton, James, and Comey, and in a brutal power grab is pressuring red states to enact radical mid-cycle gerrymanders in an unprecedented effort to steal the 2026 election before it even begins.

He’s calling us “gnats” that “need to be taken care of.” His press secretary has called us traitors, his endorsed congressmen are calling us “domestic terrorists,” and his deputy chief of staff has said:

“The Democrat Party does not fight for, care about, or represent American citizens. It is an entity devoted exclusively to the defense of hardened criminals, gang-bangers, and illegal-alien killers and terrorists. The Democrat Party is not a political party. It is a domestic extremist organization.”

Now, members of his administration are openly discussing declaring a national emergency to seize control of the midterms, and Trump is drafting illegal executive orders purporting to end early and mail-in voting, powers he plainly does not have as president.

This is all a sign of weakness, not strength. You don’t need to militarize the state against your political opponents when you’re winning.

They know they’re not winning. That’s why they’re desperate. They want to make it illegal for you to oppose them, impossible for you to vote them out.

But it’s backfiring. The tighter they grip, the more people slip through their fingers. Their naked totalitarianism invites resistance.

Just nine days ago, we witnessed the largest protest in American history: 7 million people across 2,700 locations. And now the Republican political class is petrified.

We are now on the precipice of flipping Virginia blue, as the Republican candidate is underwater in the polls.

The people are waking up. They see the true agenda that lies behind the deceptive veil of “patriotism,” “affordability,” and “safety” that Trump has put forward. They see the corruption, the quid pro quos, the blatant exchanges of bribes for political favors. And they are not happy.

We are Americans.

We bow to no one. No tyrant. No oligarch. And certainly no king.

We will not be told what to think, what we can say, or what we are allowed to fight for.

Trump’s attempt to establish permanent dominion will fail because WE WILL MAKE IT fail.
