Congratulations, we've got a Democratic majority in the House AND Senate

Now we've got untold scores of people who have been whipped up into a frenzy over the past couple of months and years and conditioned to believe:

* That Trump and Trump's agenda is straight from God's brain
* That the "end times" are nigh and THEY need to be the ones to send all the unwashed masses off to die against Gog and Magog (Formerly Russia, now the Muslims I think)
* That every single hurdle they come across is from the drawing board of George Soros and his "deep state".
* That there is already "antifa" violence equal to alt-right violence.

And in a couple of weeks, they may very well face the biggest hurdle to "make America great again" yet.

Know where the exit signs of buildings are.
Learn how to defend yourself.
Be sure people have contact information.
All sorts of things

But also don't be afraid, I'm not saying don't vote. Do! But remember, we're dealing with people who think their "conservatism" is divinely inspired, who have a POTUS who is a textbook example of narcissism, and may very well see "own the libs" take on a whole new meaning.

Just be ready.

because

a. almost all of them are armchair warriors given to being part of a "mob"

b. Their military skills and strategic thinking reflect their own level of intellect that led them to be Trumpazees to begin with

and

c. We have to do it to end the Trump era and restore American values, the sooner the better.
