Every day OrangeTurd is in power democracy is at risk

Trump is already destroying lives as we speak.

He is ruining our reputation in the world.

At home, ICE is being used like the Gestapo.

He’s not competent to lead andtoo arrogant to ask for help, an incredibly dangerous combination.

And He is compromised to the point he won’t defend the US against Russia.

We don’t even have a fully functional executive branch of the government.

What little is getting done is done to enrich Trump’s appointees, Trump himself or his cronies.

Your OP is no good, very bad, terrible, horrible and ridiculous notion.

Trump has committed a lot more crimes than Nixon and they will be uncovered

Whether it was due to arrogance or incompetence, Trump’s people have left a trail that a blind man could follow.

The feces will really hit the fan, when Mueller makes public all the criminal activity Trump has been involved in.

It’s going to dwarf Watergate both in the number of crimes committed and the severity of the crimes.

Money laundering, conspiracy, espionage and every kind of corruption known to man will be revealed.

It might even break through the vast right wing media conspiracy and force them to look at and report on the damage that was done to national security by OrangeTurd.

This is why capitalism has to be regulated

The profit motive has no conscience.

Leaders in organizations like Facebook lose perspective and justify all kinds of horrible behavior in the name of increasing shareholder value.

My dream scenario is that this all becomes public suddenly

The evidence that the Trump Campaign conspired with Russia is overwhelming.

The Brits and other EU nations uncover massive Russian interference in their elections.

They bring charges against Russian nationals and citizens who conspired with them to rig elections in Britain and around Europe.

And the conspiracy is so obvious that it breaks the right wing echo chamber.

Fox News has to tell the truth about it.

Hate radio can’t explain it away.

The Republicans in Congress are stampeded in impeaching OrangeTurd because of the public outrage across the political spectrum.

And they get absolutely destroyed in the midterm elections anyway.

The real investigations start in Congress and the NRA is implicated in the conspiracy. A lot of right wing operatives, including a couple of billionaires and a couple of evangelical leaders end up in prison for espionage.

The Republican Party is exposed as a complete fraud and dissolves in disgrace.

The GOP and the RW echo chamber must be destroyed

If we want to ever have a working democracy again.

RW talk radio is why some people don’t believe the truth.

They live in the world of conspiracy theories and alternative facts, promoted 24/7 by “conservative” (neo-fascist) talk radio and Fux Noise.

The FCC can certainly reinstate some form of the Fairness Doctrine to allow alternative voices on the radio.

I’d like to see some standard of veracity required before a program can be labeled “news”. Tricky, I know, but the lack of regulation placed us in the position we’re in now, where Trump lies through his teeth and 30% of America believes it and rejects the truth out of hand.

It was in the late 60s because I couldnt drive yet

My father and I were stopped at a traffic light.

The light changed and a small Triumph sports car was coming from the other side.

It veered towards us and got T-boned by a car traveling at very high speed.

The sports car was spun around like a top and almost destroyed. I remember seeing car parts flying around.

The driver of the car being chased died instantly. One guy in the Triumph was thrown out of the car and had severe head injuries.

The driver of the Triumph was wearing a seatbelt and wasn’t hurt that I noticed.

The police came flying up to the intersection just seconds after the accident.

It happened so fast I didn’t realize how close we we to the collision.

I’ve worn a seatbelt religiously ever since then.

That was touching

Americans can be quite noble and generous when they aren’t constantly being whipped into a frenzy of hate and fear.

Our immediate problem is fighting off the ongoing attempt to overthrow our government.

Once that is accomplished, the biggest problem we have as a nation is the dishonest, hateful, inflammatory right wing echo chamber.

It has deepened our divisions and poisoned so many minds with disinformation.

I believe in a free press, but this is a propaganda machine that should not be allowed to continue unchecked.

We need to reinstate the fairness doctrine or regulate propaganda disguised as news and opinion.

Trump would never have come to power without talk radio.

How about impeachment rallies in DC twice a month until the orange stain is removed?

I've never organized anything like before this but as fired up and angry as many people are, I bet we could draw a million people to D.C. Starting in March or April, when it's not ridiculously cold.

Start drawing huge crowds and maybe our law makers would do the right thing.

It would be a great forum for talking about epionage, lying, collusion and conspiracy.

Oh, and don't forget laundering money for Russian mobsters.

We might be able to change the national conversation and untrack Orange Mussolini's fascist agenda.

We could make it clear that there is nothing normal about this situation.

Thoughts, comments, advice from experienced organizers?

A lot of suburban white women who voted for Republicans in the past flipped

And voted for Doug Jones.

This was also a factor in the VA elections in 2017 and is why it gets mentioned like it does in the Alabama special election news stories.

A huge turnout of black voters was necessary for Jones to win, and huge thanks to the black community for getting out the vote.

I don’t see anyone trying to minimize the importance of black turnout.

And I’m not trying to defend anybody crazy enough to vote for Roy Moore, female or male.

But without the millennials, the soccer moms and unenthusiastic Republicans staying home, Jones loses anyway.

The soccer moms voting Democratic this year first in VA and then in Alabama are a sign of hope that the Democratics will flip a number of suburban Congressional seats next fall that have been safe Republican seats.

This is sad, but predictable

I’m sorry people were injured.

But this is exactly what happens when enough people start running around with loaded guns.

In this instance it was an accident with limited casualties and no deaths.

One day, there will be a “bad guy with a gun” in some public place, maybe the mall, that shoots his weapon.

A “good guy with a gun” will be there and take matters into his own hands and fire back. Other bystanders will be armed and fire back.

It’s entirely possible for a full blown gunfight to break out in a mall like this.

God only knows how many people will be hit by “friendly fire” from one of the “good guys” in a scenario like this.
