(62,411 posts)voter suppression is the hot item in the states this year
Ms. Toad
(34,069 posts)No doubt republicans will pass more voter ID laws and make it more challenging. But they won't be able to ban voting by Democrats.

(115,683 posts)start losing elections as a result of supporting Trump, their cowardice and self-interest might incline them in their usual weaselly fashion to back away from him.

(29,557 posts)If Drumpf was to try to start a nuclear war, I would hope the military would refuse to obey his orders rather than send their families into the boondocks and hope for the best.

Idoru
(167 posts)He will never admit it but this shit kills him. He is a bottomless pit of insecurity and this kind of dissent eats at him.
But other people do. The protests have given courage to even usually spineless Dems (and now, entire industries and businesses) to stand up and many ordinary people, too. They know they are not alone. And it shows the world that the Cheeto does not speak for the majority of us and we aren't going to sit on our hands and take this without a fight. They really didn't see this coming. I didn't and I would have loved to believe in this resistance. Nothing like this has ever happened, really, not to a new President and over such a broad range of issues. It's given me hope and I was feeling pretty hopeless about it all.

JHB
(37,160 posts)He has repeatedly demonstrated his need for adulation, and his thin skin (it makes Saran wrap look like a castle wall).
He won't acquiesce, but protests hit Kremlin Don at a level that any other Republican for the last 50 years would just scoff at.

(2,056 posts)All those elected Republicans DO care...so keep on calling them, writing letters (NO copy and paste or cookie cutter crap...your own words only!)
Contact EVERY Republican elected official in your district/state and DEMAND that they first stop and reverse the executive orders, get Bannon the hell out of the White House and IMPEACH Trump. He's unfit.

(10,362 posts)All this marching doesn't mean shit if those same people don't vote.
If we get the usual no-show for the mid-terms, this regime won't have anything to worry them.
Lanius
(599 posts)Democrats and the non-political not turning out (again) for a midterm election, thereby leaving Congress in the hands of the GOP.
LittleBlue
(10,362 posts)If we don't turn out, Trump will have 60 in the senate and it's game over for us. Every Republican wet dream will become reality between 2018 and 2020.

What he cannot take is being made the fool.
This Trump weenie need to be lampooned
at every opportunity. He so deserves it.
TrekLuver
(2,573 posts)I'm not sure about the protests...but I think he would rather do without them. It's only going to get worse...our elected officials are going to have to shit or get off the pot and we need to keep calling them.

(12,184 posts)And I don't buy that he doesn't care about protests. Protests will get to him if we keep it up.
Kingofalldems
(38,454 posts)That's what the right wingers on the internet say.
His tweets in the campaign were about polls most of the time.
He has posted quite a few about demonstrations and even had a tantrum about crowd size.
Did you not see any of this? Don't know why you would post such a thing.
And then there is your finale---that resistance is futile. I get it.
