Pete Buttigieg has pleaded with members of the public to keep the pressure on the Republican Party.In a video uploaded to his YouTube channel, the former Department of Transport head said Donald Trump and his administration were feeling the effects of political pressure from a growing discontent in the public. Buttigieg’s video, titled ‘The Ground is Shifting’, called on people to keep criticizing the government and keeping the momentum.He said, “Of course there is a very, very long way to go, fearsome and grotesque abuses are continuing even as we speak, and there has been an almost complete lack of accountability but the ground is clearly shifting because all of us together have been doing the work of shifting it.”Things that can sound old fashioned, protesting, calling out members of Congress, even just speaking up in person or online, all of it is adding up to an accelerating change in the power dynamics of this country. It represents a live example of principle that hope can be the consequence of action, not just its cause.”All of this is making good on our belief and ultimately, in this country, the people still direct the government, and not the other way around.”Buttigieg ended his statement by underlining just how important it was to keep the pressure on the GOP and Trump’s administration, with the midterms set to take place in November this year.Buttigieg added, “I know that it can seem like the shamelessness and the ruthlessness of the people in charge gives them the big advantage, but they have a massive disadvantage as well, which is that many of them know that what they’re part of is wrong.”The sooner they feel like they might have to answer for it one day, the sooner this house of cards will fall. We don’t have much time to lose, so for God’s sake, let’s keep it up.”
