1. It's not happening. And then you respond "well look at what he's doing." & I respond, yes look at that & please stop...

giving into the narrative that he wants.

Everyone here needs to stop it.

[samsingh]

8. trump is definitely creating fear and uncertainty

can he truly be the dictator he wants to be? or will some of the system safeguards be to strict for him to overcome?

he has certainly bullied the billionaires who own the news into submission.

11. He is and will continue to bad things. A lot of what he is doing now is to shock and awful us into fear, and to

shellshock us... we can't go spinning into random what ifs.

We need to focus and as hard as it is, calm down a bit.

This sucks.

15. Ditto

19. Can't afford to give him bod

2. The courts

Will stop him. Freedom of speech is still something.

[Midnight Writer]

10. Why would he obey the courts? The courts can only refer him to his own Justice Department.

Any prosecutor who challenges him can be fired. And any Federal Court who rules against him can be defunded.

20. He has immunity, doesn't need to obey them

4. We go back to zines and pamphlets. (some already have)

17. Thank You! Soooo Interesting!

18. You're welcome!

5. His minions will initiate SLAP lawsuits

They’ll cause so much economic pain for Democratic voices that the result will be the same.

They’ll use libel laws. We’re seeing it already. Anybody remember Gawker? The Disney/ABC settlement?

6. Welcome to DU

Your concern is noted.

Bye.

7. Sadly I have reached the I don't care much anymore.

He’s going to do what he’s going to do. We worked so hard to stop him and it came to nothing.

I’m tired of him taking so much space on my head.

Just hoping we hold on to our Social Security. But even that isn’t certain.

[blueseas]

12. Sometimes I feel that way too

But I really believe there are more of us than 'them"

Hate cannot win, pals:

[LakeArenal]

14. It's been putting up a good fight since 1860's.

I hope you are right.

[harumph]

16. Probably host it offshore then if it comes down to it,

which I doubt. But anyway - people here need to familiarize themselves with VPNs and private browsing.
Nothing is absolutely secure, but some underwear is better than running around nekkid.

21. I'm all for brevity and succinctness

But gosh, there are a growing number of OPs that don't get past the subject line.
