9. How? The new fascist party will be passing more voter suppression laws.
Wed Nov 30, 2016, 10:34 AM
Nov 2016

orange man showed them how to win. Pay companies to create fake news. Act like a bully online. And they own the press. So there is no bad reports to counter the glorious versions the mighty orange one proclaims.

The fascists are already in control of most everything now. There will be nothing stopping them once they take over the Presidency.

Oh, they might ditch the orange man and install pense. And there will be no talk of his email problem or any other problems.

All of the checks and balances have been over ridden.

There are no real viable peaceful options left.

Now bugging out is my plan B.

I don't want to leave. I will fight tooth and nail to save this country. I am prepared to, be assaulted, thrown in jail, and even die. That's plan A.

So tell me how to we do plan A. We only got about 50 days. Of course we will have about 100 days after Jan 20, before we start to feel the orange man's new world order.

I plan on staying and fighting until I can't anymore. And I have a plan B for when that happens. It will all be about personal survival in about 200 days.

I wish you all good luck. Because right now that is probably all we got left.
