they will buy what ever spin Trump, Fox and the GOP spew out.

But we shouldn't concern ourselves with "Trump voters" we need to reach the independents who didn't see the difference between trump and Hillary. They will win us the election.

They won't get a reality enema. They'll just crawl up their own assholes and sit there in the dark, talking shit to themselves.

their own desire to represent the worst of humanity, that until it was enabled by this treacherous administration and all its fouls members, was kept under a rock.

The Cretin enabled indecency and hate, opening Pandora’s box of insane ugliness and corruption and stupidity. They will ignore any squirming.

Our fight is to energize the complacent, the weary, the “resigned to mediocracy”, the “I can’t be bothered with politics” citizens. Scare them, infuriate them, educate them, and embolden them to fight the hell back in massive numbers. Whatever it takes.

They think that they are the "real Americans," and the rest of us are socialists, communists, immigrants, free-loaders, gays, anti-Christian, druggies, thieves, whores, pimps, murderers , and just basically all-around un-American bad people, who should be shut out, shipped off, silenced, and eliminated.

They would have found ample career opportunities and easy career advancement in Nazi Germany. They are true believers. I really don't know how we are going to overcome those assholes, except to massively win all 3 branches of the Fed gov, and pass laws that enact our an agenda that actually improves the lives of young people and working people.

I feel quite distressed about what these Republican criminals have done to my country.

The only thing this accomplishes, is that in districts that haven’t been gerrymandered into lockstep, where there might be a chance to unseat the incumbent republican, it will put them on record as to what they are willing to defend.

Gives the opposition a bit of a talking point come election time. If you’re not aimed at that outcome, you’re likely to be disappointed.
