I think we all need to start using our head

[rufus dog]

tRump is appointing the worst of the worst. Get fired from Faux News, come run communications for the WH. EPA head forced out, he puts in a climate denying coal exec. Supreme Court pick, it will be the most offensive on the list. So basically he is saying FUCK OFF to the majority of the population.

He sends seven traitors to Russia, he himself has announced that there will be no one else with him when he meets with Putin.

If you logically think about why he would be acting this way, you can hang your hat on that he is bat shit crazy, but the most logical conclusion is that the fix is in.

We missed it in 2016, and we are taking the same path this year.

1. Other then voting what do you suggest we do ???

The Republicans are backing every play Trump makes.

They hold the White House, the Senate, the House, and the Supreme Court.

We don't have any power.

I don't think people realize how serious things are getting.

2. Yup, not much other than voting. And this includes state elections

3. State elections are very important.

We can end the gerrymandering if we win statehouses. We can expand Medicaid and strengthen the ACA.

5. Yup , I'm in california and it makes me feel a lot better knowing

At least our state is trying to fight the shit

4. That is the problem

Voting won't be enough. He and the Republicans don't seem to have any fear that they will face any repercussions via the ballot box.

Going to need to take it to the streets and liberals MUST start being very aggressive. Maxine Waters approach is correct, this civility for our side only needs to stop.

I really don't care if they get upset because they can't eat dinner in peace.

8. Wow.

I seldom see more porous rationalization. Voting in ALL ELECTIONS IS THE SUREST AND ONLY WAY TO STOP TRUMP. Anything else is going to get people arrested and get them records that follow them for life.

Elect true democrats and stop the purist bullshit, that is how we bring about change. Don't elect republicans in sheep's clothing posing as democrats, don't vote for independents that won't carry water with us at ALL times.

9. READ THE FRIGGEN POST

Where did I say not to vote.

For fucksake is it any wonder they look at us as snowflakes.

6. Precisely

There is a limited amount of things that anyone of us can do and there’s a burnout factor to be considered. There is a finite amount of time and energy. The battles need to be selected carefully.

7. lets have the best few months full of hope till nov

there is no point in thinking about the worst until after the election. Hope can bring more people to the polls and break the apathy which is so rampant among independent voters. If we fail to win congress in the fall then it is full panic mode and the end of hope. In all honesty, it starts to feel like summer 2016 all over again. Hopeful but very insecure feeling with inescapable thought of what could happen... We are going against the odds and, yes, there is a real possibility of sustaining even more losses than in 2016 (losing more senators).
