Are you having Trump fatigue? You're not alone. I'm Jim Drastic. I'm Tiffany Drastic. I'm Nick Canson. And today on the Dangerous Ones, we're talking about Trump fatigue and what to do about it. Because a listener, Mandy from North Carolina called the People's Hotline and left two incredible message that we think sums up how we're all feeling and the urge to do something about it. So, these are two fantastic calls. They were back toback. One came in, then we got another message, another one came in right after, and you're going to you're about to fall in love with Mandy uh from North Carolina. Um and she talks about Trump fatigue. Without further ado, Tiff, play the first call. Hi, it's Mandy. I live in North Carolina. I'm so glad you guys are doing more shows. I really enjoy watching you. You're really on mark. And what we need is a good news program. Something unbiased. Just just the facts, man. Just the facts. You know, it it's getting so hard to find good news today. And criticizing Trump is not going to make him stop. None of that's going to make him stop. We've got to have really action. We have to have action happen. And it's not short of a war. Somebody has got to come up with some solution to get this regime out of our government. Somebody has got to do something except talk and criticize and tell us why he's wrong. It's tire I'm tired of it. I'm tired of it. I've been listening to this crap for nine years. Nine years. I wrote the Democrats. I wrote everybody. I wrote everybody and they still doing the same damn thing they did before. It's getting tiring now. It's getting so tiring. Wow. First of all, yeah, I get it. You know, I'm tired, too. But complacency is not an option. We can't just look, he's not going anywhere, okay? Even if we impeach and remove and that's you're talking years away, okay? We We have a a thousand days, 1300 days left with this [ __ ] Just assume they're going to get away with everything. Just assume he's as shitty as he's proven himself to be for 9 years. If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it's a [ __ ] duck. That's for sure. But but we definitely I think uh uh uh a [ __ ] I was going to try to say like but because you were making it sound like there's no hope. No, it's not that there's no hope, but the only thing we can do is to get loud now. The only thing we can do is be public about disagreeing with everything that's going on here. Nothing they're doing is American. Nothing. And we all know it. What do you think of your initial thoughts of the call? Are we playing the second half? I Yeah, I'm sorry. I got I She was crying, so I was letting her go off. But I I I think you were going a little I'm just saying this. I I think you were going a little too like there's nothing we can do about it. probably should have let me finish, but that's okay. Sorry. Sorry. I was trying to. That's okay. But I'll just play the second one. All right. All right. It's Mandy from North Carolina. I want you to know I'm not crazy. I'm just going stark raving mad from all this talk and nothing is being done. It's so frightening. I'm 86 years old. I can't afford to hang around any longer, but I have to. I just want things to be the way they used to be, normal. We can get these guys out of there. Get them out of there. Somebody's got to do something. People are crying. They're crying for this to happen. Look at all the people who took to the streets on No King Day. It proves that we want him out. How do we get him out? We've got to find either legal ways or just go to war with him. I don't know. Yeah, Mandy, I don't think you're crazy. No. You know, at all. At all. We're all feeling it. If you don't feel that, then something's wrong, you know. Yeah. Yeah. I I um I appreciate her like desire to like get him out. Get him out of there. I mean, I just like I'm just being honest there. That's like kind of like what you were saying. It's not It's not an imminent imminent uh solution. I want that, too. I want that, too. But until these things can happen, the only thing we can do as the people is to get out in the street and and do things like no kings and do things like July 17th and the protest coming up. And you were saying there's a bunch of other events happening, different it's not just getting out in the streets. There's other things happening. I mean, hot protest summer can take on a lot of different forms. I think, you know, if we're all constantly waiting for these like big days of action to come where there's millions of people in the street, like that's not quite the recipe, right? I mean, we need things like sitins and uh you know, civil disobedience that's peaceful. Love that. We need uh to barrage senators and Congress people's office and and show up and be like, "This is not cool." You know, I just like applying pressure to the people who have some semblance of power in this situation is something that we can do regardless of whether there's a big national day of action happening. You know, with Trump fatigue, I feel like, you know, having Trump having been elected twice, it's like having gone through COVID twice. It's just it's really I don't blame anybody. I am I this is what I do for a living, right? You know, it's not fun all the time. You know, there's days you get up, you're like, "What did he do now?" You know, and not only I can't just turn it off, I got to learn about it so I can talk about it with intelligence. You know what I mean? And um you know, we all feel our own form of Trump fatigue. It is it's like whiplash, you know? It's just like I just I forgot about that level with this guy. You know, I got used to not thinking about this every single [ __ ] day of my life. And now I get it. I'm frustrated, too. I'm but the only way for me to channel that in a positive way and for all of us to do that we have got to unite. We've got to get together and do not just protest but all kinds of events where we just take an action of like remembering who we all are. We've got to build community again. We've got to see empathy with each other because if you don't then how we're not even evolving. We're not we're devolving into something that I just this guy is a narcissist. He doesn't care about anyone but himself. And I don't want to turn in to people like that. We have we have to come together and do something. We need to we need to make sure that we're like I I I get my fuel from thinking about the people who are most deeply impacted by what's happening with this administration. Like the immigrant kid who h who has his his or her father ripped away and thrown in the back of a van and they're sitting on the corner just crying and saying, "Bring back my daddy. bring back my daddy. We're seeing these videos on social media. And so like that's one thing that we can do is like make sure that like it sucks to spread trauma, but we also have to make sure that the truth is getting out there so that people's empathy goes up and hopefully some of these people who voted for him, you know, start to feel differently. It's important for everyone to know about Mandy and her struggle. She's 83 years old and they're talking about taking away her Medicare and housing and like those are very scary things and everyone even when you're MAGA somebody has a Mandy in North Carolina that they know and this is sharing these stories and people when you guys call in it just helps us all feel like we're not alone out there and I think that's really important this time. And then something you can do about that is call our hotline and tell us how you're feeling. Uh are you having Trump fatigue and what are you doing about it?
