Are foaming-at-the-mouth pissed about what’s happened to our country.

And the “MSM” seem to be finally grasping their own predicament.

The fascists are going to lose this one.

CNN's people are resisting. MSNBC's various journalists are fact checking Trump like mad and reporting the ugly truth. Washington Post has rediscovered its Watergate roots. They are not the only ones, either.

In addition a minimum of 100 newspapers are co-ordinating editorials against Trump, slated to appear later this month, all on the same day.

So, there is that.

As for the American people, far fewer than 50% of us voted for the Trojan Horse, and despite the false equivalency of various polls, the number of those who will admit to being Republican is dropping.

At the two recent Unite the Right rallies, alt-right Nazis were pathetically outnumbered by people standing up for decency. At the one in DC they couldn't even fill a bus, and restaurants all over the city had signs up telling them to not bother coming in.

Please rethink.

Goes to show you the hill we are up against. Fact is, people go about their daily lives and dont really pay attention to the daily drama at the white house.

Republicans are only 25% of the population. Keep that in mind when you hear statistics concerning Rs, like the one saying that 43% of Rs think it would be OK for shithead to shut down the media. That means that 10% of the population feels that way, not 50% or even 25%.

People vastly overstate the real percentage of our population who have lost their fucking minds.

Families have to eat, bills have to be paid, we do all this with a sick feeling in the pit of our stomach. I am here at 5:00AM trying to find something to help me believe this horror will end soon. I will never again take for granted the rights we have and the rights we need to protect.
