7. Anything is possible

A young man from the local Democratic Party was going door to door in my neighborhood last night. I talked to him for a while and he asked me what I want from my party. My answer was that I wanted a Democratic Party that will fight dirty, and I want one that will play offense rather than just react to the latest outrage from Trump. Dems have been terrible at anticipating Trump's next outrage. The worst you can imagine, Trump will try it. He is not governed by norms, the law, or human decency.

Dems need to start having a plan for the unthinkable. What will Dems do when Trump starts having his political opponents jailed? What will Dems do when he starts asking for the assassinations of American Political figues? What will they do when he tries to hand over US citizens to Putin?

Dem leadership still seems to think we are in a normal political fight, it's not a normal political fighjt and hasn't been for a long time. This is plainly a fight between fascism and democracy. Dems must stop fascism by any means necessary or we will no longer have Democracy.
