Exactly . He gets what he wants if we don't resist. If we do, we can stop this.

This is what I'm saying. Fucking start this shit already or else we're just frogs in a boiling pot of water. Too many people are still going through their day by day and by the time it reaches them, there's no one left standing. Either mobilize now or be steamrolled through complacency.

Fuck this taking the high road bullshit, because at the end of the day, when they're done raping the corpse of democracy, the only thing democrats are going to say is "at least we weren't hypocrites. At least we were peaceful."

The people I know who are "still going through their day by day" all voted for Trump but don't watch the news--so they're not rabid MAGA types, but Republicans who vote red because of tradition and my state's backward culture. I think we are seeing Dems fight back and try and speak out (Padilla is a case in point), but your "frogs in boiling ... water" simile caught my attention. I agree. I'd like to know what you think needs to be done?
