2018 Elections Are The Real Test - Will We Continue to Enable Crazy?

Quite honestly, 2020 could very well be too late to do anything about Trump given the disdain he has shown for the truth or civil liberties. I am sure Trump would engage in voter intimidation based on his alternative facts of millions of illegal voters in 2020 unless we can elect a Democratic Congress as a check on his insanity. If we can't do it, we could well be on our way to an irrevocable erosion of our rights as citizens.

...and start prepping for doomsday?

I disagree. We need to start working now to make a difference in 2018. If you disagree, I don't why someone would bother to post here.
