8. This is their only chance

They've been waiting for this opportunity for years.

Unless a huge Russian hack/gerrymandering fix is in for the next election or they are planning on staging a coup of the repub party/Trump dictatorship, I don't see how it's a sane move. Which sends up red flags to me. Goes without saying they are insane in general, and many factors may be in play here. Such as the evangelical extremists in the GOP who think we are all going to die anyway, and they are the chosen ones, so *who cares what they take away from us*. Or perhaps some that Russia/Trump have kompromat on are being blackmailed for votes.

As soon as they start talking about cutting medicare, medicaid & social security, we must march en masse, and think about a serious economic walkout, and buying only essential needs. I don't think the response to this tax bill was enough, although they timed it around the holidays, so of course an economic walkout is not feasible.
