(14,570 posts)And if we continue the 'resist' methods of exerting massive popular pressure on these otherwise-corporate-owned slugs in DC, then they will vote the way WE want them to, not the way the Koch brothers, Mercers, Sheldon Adelson or the big Wall Street guys want them to.
All of you heed this: There is massive wealth lined up against righteousness, but it is nothing compared to the weight of our numbers. The biggest fear the billionaire freaks have is that we will find that out.
I call my US Senators at least once a week, write several letters and sign petitions. If enough of us do that, it does make a difference.
In the meantime, think long game as well - get active in the local Democratic party. Get to know the candidates for local office and support them. This is what the Tea Party did in less than a decade (with Koch brothers funding). May take us longer, but we will be strong as citizens.
We cannot give up.
As to Lucky's original OP, it may be that we are strong enough to get rid of this treasonous cancer. And it permeates the entire national Republican party - McConnell, Ryan, and many others, as well as Trump and his miserable, disgusting, immoral administration.
