Summary
Across America, people are waking up to the fact that Donald Trump has always been exactly who he said he was: a serial con man propped up by white grievance, impunity, and a media that normalized his crimes.
Trump fears accountability. The question is whether we are prepared for what he and his allies may do to avoid it in the 2026 midterms.
Trump's push for the SAVE Act and the broader assault on voting rights should be understood for what it is: a strategy to stay in power by any means necessary. Voter suppression, disinformation, dark money, and foreign interference are ongoing. If Romania could challenge a compromised election and protect its democracy, America can stop pretending "moving on" is any sort of plan.
We need election protection infrastructure now. Call your secretary of state. Ask what they are doing to protect the integrity of the 2026 vote.
Stay defiant. Build power. And join us at Gaslit Nation as we keep asking the questions too many in power still refuse to face.

| 0:43.8 | And you voted for him how many times? |

| 2:01.1 | They're really excited to make sure that Santa Claus would always be white. |
| 2:08.0 | They were really excited to preserve their idea of America being a Thomas Kincaid painting. |
| 2:15.5 | That's the only explanation. |
| 2:21.9 | It is that same white supremacy bloodlust that built America that you're not allowed to talk about or you're going to be a party pooper. |
