a whole lot of things they had better be ready to go to the fuckin' mat for. No, I dont expect all of it to get done. But if we arent willing to TRY to govern this country into a sustainable future across the spectrum for all of us including the idiot deplorables and their corporate Masters, then it don't matter HOW much of the GOP Trump and Crew take with them when they go down, the Deplorables will 'get their country back' BY DEFAULT.

Medicare for all
Appropriate PROGRESSIVE taxation
Repeal of (most) of the Patriot Act
Funding for PUBLICLY OWNED national high-speed rail and Utilities (the dept of energy should buy every empty factory building in the rust belt and just start cranking out solar panels)
Subsidized College or technical educations

This is just the beginning...
