And our country is going to break up and the constitution dissolved. A neo civil war without shots fired. Those 62 million cult members are still standing by their man and they have their alt media to back them up. Even if they have a recording of chump telling putin to hack and fix the election in his favor the cult members will not believe it.

Those of us 65+million of us are losing patience as each day the insanity unfolds from this presidency. Something is going to crack and break the dam.

Trump has been pretty successfully blocked from his goals so far. Congress seems to be pretty deadlocked in accomplishing its goals, as well. I think we're in for a tough time, but I don't see it as dismally as you do. If we manage to elect majorities in Congress in 2018, Democrats will be able to block Trump completely, really.

The people and their votes are the final check on the government becoming all-powerful and tyrannical. We need to turn out every last Democratic voter in 2018 and 2020. That's the work we have to accomplish. We need to overwhelm the attempts to silence the people's voices. We can do that. But, we must focus our attention on that goal.

We must not be distracted from the job that needs to be done.

What happened in Georgia for instance, unverifiable easily hackable voting machines, voter suppression, and votes not being counted. The GOP has perfected the way to manipulate the votes in their favor. I am still highly suspious of the 2016 vote and fear 2018 will be even worst.

But I really hope I am wrong. I would love to be wrong.

Democratic voters in that district did not come out and vote. That was what happened. Had they voted, the result would have been different, despite any machinations to control it. That is what we need to accomplish - getting the non-voters to the polling places.

Do you think voter suppression was strong enough to cause 40% of reg. Dems to not to vote or is it mostly the lazy effect? Voter suppression is becoming wide spread and subtle these days. It's hard to know if people choose not to vote because of fear, work, or credential issus rather than just lazyness. We have to consider all possibilities.

That happens all the time. We need to fix that. We really do. That will be the answer.

The reasons for not voting are random in nature. The result, though, is always the same.

Their hatred for anyone with a differing opinion is that strong, and they are that stupid. Remember last year when the useful idiots brought their precious killing machines to the voting booths because they were worried about voter fraud? Picture that, but 1,000 times worse.

We are not a helpless nation nor a helpless electorate.

I can't believe our country elected this evil lying a$$hole into office. And they are choosing party over country.

Each time it felt like it would never end. Just look around at all the resistance from good people. That's why Trump will nor win.

With this Congress, however, impeachment is unlikely. Let's see what happens next year.

over impeachment. He's in control and his base will be more intact. Impeachment is loss of control and could splinter his base. He wants the control and the pulpit more than the little mobs pity would produce.

Create a mess and walk away for his loyal partners to clean up.

Nixon / Ford repeated.

Prez Pence will be worse.

Impeachment does not remove.

Congress impeaches, Senate convicts = removal.

The statement remains true.

Just sayin', because I know our history.

Work to make sure we get enough Dems in office to stymie trump's efforts to destroy our current governing bodies. AND continue to work on ways to get him out sooner rather than later. Even if Pence pardons his sorry ass for Federal crimes, there are still state matters in play. The longer this awful man is in office, the more damage he can do. Even if his worst impact is voter apathy, a sense of hopelessness and throwing up our hands in despair, that means he still has won. If he has citizens so demoralized that they can't or won't vote, we will truly have lost.

So I think we need to work really hard to convince people they do still have a voice and that voting matters. We also have to be triple diligent to ensure our votes are counted accurately so people don't allow their doubts about counting the votes accurately dissuade them from voting.

There are LOTS of us who want to stop tRump and bring the long arm of the law down on him and anyone else involved in his crimes. Give people a task and they will do it. Look how many people showed up in DC the day after the inauguration to protest and demonstrate. So give people a job and they will do it. Outvote him or dump him unceremoniously from office. We're up for both paths.
