I feel like I'm being gaslit every day that Democrats and the media don't demand he resign. The most recent one just yesterday/today is the NYT reporting that Trump casts mail in ballots all the while he just lied about the nature of them being bad. Lying to undermine democracy to keep yourself in power should have the media freaking out on the level of when they thought Biden had a poor debate. But nope, we won't get that for the hundreds of things 1000x worse than that. It's infuriating.
Totally agree. We keep up the pressure, keep telling him to resign, it also takes his imagined power away from him... he imagines nearly everyone loves him, which is why bad polls bother him.
We flip the narrative and keep calling for his resignation and keep pointing out that he is incredibly disliked and unpopular, and it will really drive him nuts.
Whether he resigns on his own or not, it helps us control the narrative and the story of our nation and our future. If we keep repeating "he won't resign," so what's the point? We allow him to set the story of his presidency. So I agree: we keep calling for his resignation, and we keep pushing Democrats to call for his resignation and also call for impeachment.
We need to get one of the Democrats who go on Fox News to say it on air and with conviction. That’s the only way it will make it into the MAGA circle- and you know trumps people won’t tell him it’s happening. He’ll only hear it from Fox.
I like it! Even if it doesn't "work" in the sense of yielding the exact desired result. Calling for Trump to do the right thing dramatically highlights the ways that wrongness is baked into his personality and political agenda.
For one thing, he won't resign - he sees this as his birthright and a malignant narcissist is NEVER wrong. His cabinet is full of lackeys and grifters, so there goes the 25th amendment solution. Failing a complete flip of both the House and Senate this fall, impeachment AND conviction are off the table.
What we'll need is a Nuremberg 2.0 when all this is over.

Only he can make that decision- and he won't.
Noah points out quite convincingly that it’s worth doing anyway. I’m on board, but my audience is very small.
Spot on. Sometimes simple messages work best. They clarify, and clarity can produce action, and action can produce change.
