The Republicans who oppose tRump are great and we are happy to have them but MAKE NO MISTAKE.... We have more than they do. We are MORE than they are. We have MORE to do that they want. We know that Global Warming looms in our immediate future if we do not immediately address it.
They are only temporarily our friends. We will tolerate them because the country and our future depends on all of us saying NO to tRump BUT they are not us and they not to be accepted as our friends. Yes, they are our fellow Americans and we accept them as that BUT we have a different agenda. And we we need to remember that.
WE SUPPORT THE PEOPLE. It is that simple. Watch them on CNN or MSNBC. They are realize that tRump is Hitler and we must stop him BUT they do not grasp that we need to do MUCH MORE TO SUPPORT THE PEOPLE!
THE PEOPLE UNITED CAN NOT BE DEFEATED! That is who we are!

(12,712 posts)We need to withhold cooperation. That's a viable and important tactic. Those that express it and come out as non-complicit are beneficial to that end.
Right now, we might want to put that bias aside in that case and leave it for when we are out of danger. To agree with or commend those who clearly make a stand is the point and we are up to that. It won't turn us into them or betray our battles.
I don't think that indicates that we are their friends, but it does indicate that there can be some suspension of discord and dissonance in order to embark on the job of cutting Trump's tentacles off when possible as fellow Americans. We have plenty of time to deal with other Republican issues and they know we won't back down on that.
I encourage and commend everyone who stands up against trump or vows to end their cooperation. I would like that to be another tactic that could avert a worse outcome. For now, the enemy of my enemy is my friend in that sense. I don't have to compromise myself in that case, however.
That may not be popular, but these are those kind of times.
