It's a silly idea that I would have to prove that using your vote to get rid of fascists is a good idea, better than the downer rhetoric that the other guy provides, and better than fighting a civil war with them. You get "bent" over talk about how to succeed? I am not allowed to say anything against anyone on this board or any Democrat. So, I'm going to follow that rule. But, I don't feel like I have to prove anything to you. If you want to wallow in despair over the future of our country, please move out of our way.

Just so you know for sure, I hate Trump, the GOP, and anyone who threatens our country from within. I am tired of hearing people on this board informing others that we have lost already, that we will be a fascist country, and basically, "why bother?" That's what it amounts to, really. That's not at all helpful. We are watching the slide into fascism with astounding apathy; people who have had freedom all their lives can't conceive that it could happen here. But you can't just do nothing, and We The People better treat our votes like weapons and find a way to get there and vote. them. out. of. office. They have found a way to manipulate our own laws against us, and before you know it, the only safe person in the country will be a Christian, white male who kisses Trump's ample ass. What part of those facts don't you get?
