Define The Target and Focus The Attack [1]

The following became a diary only because it was initially a reply, and I got carried away and it became too long for a reply. :)
Trump and his MAGA Fascist gang are starting fires everywhere and anywhere.
Yes, all of them are destructive and they need to be dealt with.
It also occurs to me, all that fire spreading includes distraction with intent to divide and conquer. If he and they keep diverting the attention of various people and groups in every which way, then it becomes more and more difficult to narrow where the source of the attack is coming from, so that the larger attention of the various people and groups have a narrowed down target.
Identifying a more central target, one that is allowing all of Trump’s lunacy to rampage and spread destruction and division, will give the Democrats, we the people, and any concerned news and media something to focus on, and then keep the pressure on.
Right now we have the legal and judicial system in a furor with countless lawsuits about numerous issues and violations of the law and Constitution done by Trump and his Fascist cabinet.
That legal counter attack is absolutely needed and I applaud it and support it.
My suggestion is to focus in on the what and who that are allowing Trump’s Deranged Lunacy/TDL to continue and escalate with no checks, no controls, no attempt at balancing and reigning in of the authority and power he wants and is expressing.
So, what and who are allowing all this?
The US Senate is the what, and the Republican and MAGA Senators are the who.
The Republican and MAGA House of Reps majority are the secondary what and who.
If Congress does its job, as required by the Constitution, then they do have the authority to check and balance what he is doing.
The right wing Republicans in the US Senate have bowed down, given up any authority and power they had, and lined up to kiss the ass of that moronic despot, Trump.
When the Republican Senate majority agreed and voted to accept Hegseth, I and others, knew that our Senate majority willingly bowed to Trump, and decided that they could sit down, do as they are told only when told, and attempt to ride it out, letting Trump take the heat.
This coup attempt would never have been a potential possibility if the US Senate majority had the morality, intelligence, and the proverbial BALLS to stand up to that tyranny and say,
”HELL NO!”.
The Republican Senate majority have given their souls, minds, and balls to Trump.
They must have some rather ignorant belief that once all is said and done, then, later, they will continue to have the power and authority a US Senator used to have to have his/her own thoughts and votes regarding the country’s future and legislation.
That is ignorance made stupid, as it is said that many of those Republican Senators are bowing and having their BALLS chopped off, because they are “afraid” that Trump and Musk will primary them if they do not do what they are told to do.
Being “primary-ed” is a pointless potential threat.
Why?
Now that all current Republican Senators have given up their souls and balls to Trump and his executive Nazi goons, there will be no guardrail, no controls, no checks nor balances, as they have given all that up.
Even if they manage to be reelected, so what?
They are under the delusion that they will have same or similar authority and power as they had before they gave up their integrity, morals, and balls.
Once you’ve willingly given up those things, you ain’t getting those things back when you gave those things to rampaging thug who told you he would become the dictator of the country, and turn it into his own personal business, doing as he pleases.
So, what should be our D party’s primary focused target?
That should be, ALL of the Republican US Senators who have willingly allowed all of this destruction and dissolution or our Constitutional Democratic Republic.
Our D party talking heads need to take all opportunities to get in front of microphones and cameras and keep attacking those Republicans who have failed our country and the American people by allowing a clear and present dangerous tyrant to do what he is doing with OUR Presidency.
Hammer something like that into the minds of the media and thus the people.
Find simplified sentences and messages and keep repeating the destruction they have brought to the American people. More and more of our D elected officials need to find ways to get more and more news and media to come and put mics and cameras in front of their faces.
DO whatever they can to take as much attention away from Trump’s want of all of the “air time”.
Nuance to the American populace will NOT work. When people are angry, full of anxiety, pissed off, and feel there is no way to hide and nowhere to run, they need simple directions, simple ideas, simple messages so that they can put their minds onto a more focused path, to give them direction about where to put their anger, anxieties, and actions, and direct all that to the people who allowed all of this to happen.
There is really no need to have nuanced discussions and explanations as to why this is illegal, and he doing that is in contradiction to this or the other, when talking to the people.
Those nuanced discussions need to happen, but that is for the quieter times in media and locations where such talk is better understood by those seeking such discussion.
Again, talking to the people, the broader populace, the messages need to be simple, distilled to easily understandable words and ideas, directing focus of thought and action to the people in our government who can actually do something about what that disaster of a human is doing.
Right now it seems that we, our D leaders, are doing nothing, or that they are doing the wrong things. However, they are doing things and trying things.
In my view, we are behaving more like scattered individuals or small groups going in different directions trying to address all of the divide and conquer fires being set by
the would be dictator and his fascist fiends.
Concentrate. Identify, define, direct, coalesce, unify. Pick the larger/largest target, who want to lay low, hide and whimper, hoping the crazed lunacy of Trump will draw all of the attention away from them and what they have done, and did not do.
Put the focus and spotlight onto them.
Make them take all of the heat and anger. Force them continuously to answer for what they are doing and why they have done it.
Provide a different path and direction to the American people so that the can see and know that they are still Americans, and they will fight to keep their rights and freedoms, and they will not lay down and accept a hateful moron forcing division and destruction on our country and our people just because he and his think know better about everything.
