Resistance Manipulated 7.16.26

A single headline made me stop. Not because of what happened, but because of how the story was framed. This isn’t a discussion about whether Democrats should criticize Republicans. That’s politics, especially during an election year. What caught my attention was the subtle message I think the headline sends before anyone has even read the article. Am I making too much out of a little ‘ol headline? I’d genuinely like to know what you see after watching the video. Vic Meyers for Democracy [https://vic4hd47.com/] This is a public episode.

Resistance Test 7.15.26

More and more Trump supporters are beginning to see the fallacy of supporting him. That got me to thinking, what if I could help them climb over that fence and get back on the right side of history. I laid the groundwork by discussing his planned television appearance tomorrow night. Then I gave them a way to listen to it that just might, if they try it, help them come back into the light.

Resistance Choices 7.14.26

The company store didn’t disappear. It evolved. Colorado had a chance to require large employers to either provide affordable healthcare or contribute toward the Medicaid costs created when their employees need public assistance. Ty Winter voted against that bill. This isn’t just about healthcare. It’s about whether taxpayers should continue subsidizing profitable corporations while working families struggle to get ahead.

Lee Phelan is back with hurt feelings. The full-page ad ran, except where MAGA editors refused to print it. And it all adds up to I’m going to have to raise much more than I have.

Resistance Education 7.2.26

One of the things I believe elected officials should do is educate voters, not just repeat consultant-tested talking points. A Facebook comment claiming that only “illegals” lost Medicaid benefits gave me an opportunity to explain something many Americans don’t know: millions of retirees rely on Medicaid to help pay their Medicare Part B premiums. When that assistance disappears, the consequences are very real. This piece isn’t about scoring political points. It’s about making sure we’re arguing from the same set of facts. As always, I welcome thoughtful disagreement. Vic Meyers for Democracy [https://vicmeyersfordemocracy.com/] This is a public episode.
