I'm going to take an unpopular opinion here. Trump isn't the enemy. [View all]

Trump is a distraction. We get him out and what? We're stuck with Pence. We get Pence out then what? We got Paul Ryan. There's a far bigger threat out there than any amount of buffoons that we can elect as president. The biggest threat out there is the Koch Brothers. The Mercers. The DeVos family. Rex Tillerson. Exxon Mobil.

Right now they're gaining enough votes to rewrite the constitution. They're quietly trying to overturn an obscure senate rule that would allow them to reshape the judiciary for the next century. They can buy and sell any number of crazy politicians they want. And as long as gerrymandering exists, they've got the system rigged for decades to come, if not centuries. If their health care bill doesn't pass, you can bet your ass that they'll quadruple what they spent trying to overturn it this time.

So while we're distracted by Trump's latest tweet from the shit show that is the Trump administration, just remember that the real enemy is working behind closed doors in this country to far more damage than Hitler, al'Qaeda, or ISIS ever could, all without firing a shot, or setting off an explosive. Trump may be the danger, but he's just temporary. The real threat are the right wing upper 1%. The Koch Brothers are playing both sides for chumps, and it's working for them. The sooner we put aside our differences and go after the big bosses, the better off we'll be as a country.
