do we not all see where this ends..on many fronts?
I raged on election night 2016. All my worst fears are bearing fruit.
We have a dictatorship under a villain. It won't stop till he gets (more) people killed. He has a death wish for himself and this country.
We are on the precipice, if not already over it.
Do we not see how fast this happened? We have lost our country. He must be stopped.

And the sad part is a good portion of this nation can't seem to comprehend WTF is going on ... and those most supportive will be injured the most. It's an incredible time in the history of this young nation. tRump has basically turned it all into a reality show ... but tRump needs to be told, You're Fired!!!

Why throw that sizable progress out in favor of panicking? This isnt over! Youre already letting him win if you give up in despair.

I am not minimizing the danger. I agree that it is real.
In the meantime it is good to stay away from a lot of the faux news outlets and concentrate on the high quality news.

Indispensible guide for us.
Here are two things you can do RIGHT NOW!
1. Join the aclu for the cost of a couple of coffee drinks and lend your one more voice to the cause of liberty.
2. Protect and defend our free watchdog press. Every day they stand between the people and tyranny.
Seek community of like-minded people.

I donated one time right after the election. I just became a monthly donor, due to your suggestion.
Appreciate it.
