Trump is literally known for going out and talking to people in places like Butler Pennsylvania, meeting with tons of people and making tons of calls himself. Is he up to anything good? No, but that doesn't mean he's not an effective leader - it just happens to be that he's leading off a cliff.
Maybe you should stop letting hatred of someone blind you so completely. Use your fucking brain and stop being such emotional zombies.
Trump sucks, he's awful. He's also president for 4 years, unless there's a dramatic shift in congress. 2026 matters quite a bit and if that doesn't work 2028 matters a ton.
How do you get to 2026 and 2028 to affect change? That should be the all consuming question. Everything between now and then is survival and trying to keep major regression or damage from occuring.
Right now the only display of leadership is with Bernie and AOC, but AOC is really just a sideshow to Bernie who is a true leader, who was sabotaged by his own team because the Democratic party as it is currently set up is not actually representative of progressive or liberal ideology, It's simply the 2nd political party that shows up on ballots and is controlled by the other rich people who "aren't as bad"
