Charles P. Pierce: The Resistance Cannot Wait Until 2018

22. Agreed. And we should do what we can where we are.

For example, Rachel Maddow was maligned for hyping Trump's tax returns that weren't all there. However, she gave a very convincing appeal to anyone out there who might actually have the goods.

We have to encourage leakers all day, every day. We have to tattoo the corrupt Party of Russia with evidence of their traitorous behavior. And, to be honest, we have to stop being the Mom and Dad party. The rebellious and conniving Republican children keep crashing our new cars into buildings, killing many of our citizens. And, yet, we keep giving them keys to a new car so they can keep hurting more people and we can feel like we are "good" parents. We have to stop giving them the keys. We have to find a way to make so-called "red" states pay for continuously electing Republicans. I'm sorry, but the biggest beneficiaries of Obamacare are the morons that voted to elect Trump. Give these people what they voted for!

Any Democrat that refuses to endorse and support the winner of a Democratic primary against a Republican needs to be essentially excommunicated and left to their own devices with no support from the party (I'm looking at our Congressional friend in Florida and our Independent pal in Vermont). We don't have the luxury of being purists at this point.
