I know nothing of it and it's a big topic here in Washington.

I have no desire to live in Trump's Ayn Rand/dominionist dystopian hellscape.

Right now this cult holds the executive and legislative branches of federal government, about to hold a majority of seats on SC, majority of governorships and a majority of state legislatures. Not to mention a vast and twisted knot of gerrymandered voting districts and voter suppression laws in their favor.

We are at a tipping point to either cut our loses and walk away from a union that doesn't want us (those majority of Democratic votes in last were mostly in CA,WA, OR, some in NY) or continue to fight for even former blue states that don't want us like PA or MI.
