We are going to need to have a national Pitchfork and Torches event. Trump and his bootlickers

must be stopped. The election is nowhere near enough to get the message across. The only reason trump can do the things he does is because republicans not only let him, they too calculate they will get something by his actions.

We need to end that calculation. They, the republicans need to see trump as a real threat to their well being. It is clear they aren’t concerned with the wellbeing of the nation, but they do care about themselves [where have we seen that before].

Trump is a threat to this nation. Trump is a threat to democracy. Trump is a threat to national security. Trump is a threat to global security. He is a threat to your children. He is a threat to your parents and grandparents. He is a threat to your spouse. He is a threat to you.

Maybe you think you don’t need to protect your democracy, or national security, or the globe, or your children, your family. Well then I guess that makes you a Republican.

Pitchforks and torches....a polite way of warning trump and republicans that they WILL NOT wreck America.

We need , not thousands or tens of thousands, but millions in the streets with pitchforks and torches. We need to end the monster the republicans have become.

But I'd be more than ready to join a protest group. We should start organizing them across the Country and making protest signs!

This BS about Nov will too late. So those that can and will should be contacting the candidates and asking, demanding that they step to promote this.
