it doesn't hold up for me.

I see "them" as a vast right wing conspiracy with Trumpsky serving as a grotesque, loathsome hood ornament, the role previously held by Reagan and Shrub.

Trump: 'Anyone who disagrees with me is one of 'THEM'... and us good guys have to stay together.'

But Trump is not an 'us'....Trump is an I. Trump is one guy who demands ABSOLUTE LOYALTY to himself.

Here's the way to push back:
-lawsuits
-targeted boycotts (like with Tesla)
-cancelling things like Disney channel, ABC

"Stop thinking in terms of 'US' versus 'THEM', instead think of the American people versus an autocrat."

THIS GIVES ME HOPE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PLEASE WATCH IT.
