1. "It's time to take to the streets again."

Unfortunately, people have been in the streets, on and off, for the past 8 years (including Occupy and BLM). When you don't control the megaphone (media), you could have half a million or more in the streets and no one will know. When your M$M chuckles about all the "fake" media out there (with false narratives that they dutifully report rather than ignoring or immediately fact-checking or correcting), then you know you are officially in a propaganda-entrenched environment. When they normalize the abnormal as acceptable, then you know that you have your work cut out for you to wrench societal expectations back from the infotainment industry.

It's time to take back the states from GOP control. This has to happen between now and 2020 (not much time). There were also a number of congressional districts that were close enough to flip if the turnout was there (in this past election, Dems needed 31 to retake the House and the hope was to get 25 of those if everything worked out...yet we only got 6).

Thing is - inside the beltway, they're not listening. All politics is local and it will be a slog but that may be the only way.
