Who knew it would be so easy and so fast to hollow out the federal government of the US? We already stand on the cusp. The energy is with the minority (30% - 40%) who are full of vile hate.

However, the pushback you are getting and will continue to get is from those of us who are still holding out hope that we can turn this around. If enough of us give up hope the other side really will win. So work for the good, throw your energy into the good, and bring others with you.
