"The cavalry isn't coming to save us."

If we've learned anything during this first year of the Trump presidency, it's that the cavalry isn't coming to save us. We ourselves are the cavalry. In 2018, each one of us has to do whatever we can to take the government back.

If we want change, we have to go out ourselves and seize it.

It's looking more and more like this is the case. It's up to us, the citizens.
